Playbar

Linked audio files in the documents folder can use the Playbar. This is a quick and fast way to control your music. You can turn on the Playbar in the Settings->Global-Functions.

IMPORTANT! The playbar only works with mp3 and audio files that have been added to the unrealBook documents folder. NOT the iTunes library. I do not recommend using the iTunes library anymore. To add audio files to the unrealBook documents folder, add them like any other PDF. Whatever way you got the PDF into unrealBook is the same for audio files. You can use Airdrop, dropbox, box, email, direct drag and drop with browser using the web interface. Just add the audio files to your unrealBook documents folder like any other PDF and you will be able to link and use the playbar.

Here is how to link audio files

Once the Playbar is turned on, files that have audio attached using the Play Audio File + button or through the Music Controller Link Audio File command will show a slightly darker gray area on the bottom of the screen. You can control playback by tapping and swiping in this area. For example, a single tap will start and stop playback. A double-tap will start from the beginning. List below are the supported taps and swipes.


iRig Blueturn setup

Setting up the iRig Blueturn is easy.
Press and hold the left foot pedal, turn on device.
The two pedals will blink.
Press and hold the left foot pedal again and the left pedal will stay lit. You are now in mode 1. Mode 1 is the BT-105 mode for the iRig Blueturn.
Next, go to the Bluetooth settings on iPad and pair the iRig Blueturn like any other bluetooth device.
Finally go into unrealBook, choose settings->network, choose Airturn Setup. Make sure Airturn Support is set to ON.

In the Airturn Window choose add Keyboard Airturn. (Version 4.24 and later)

For more information watch this video.

(Older versions of unrealBook).
Select my device is a BT-105. (If Keyboard is available, choose this selection instead).


The iRig Blueturn should now turn pages.

NOTE: The Blueturn is like a bluetooth keyboard pedal. To show the on screen keyboard, press and hold the UP pedal for 3 seconds. To hide the keyboard, press and hold the up pedal for 3seconds again.

NOTE: The iRig Blueturn requires Bluetooth LE 4.1 so it does not work with iPad2.

Compatible with iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPod touch (6th and 5th generation), iPad Pro, iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini, iPad 3rd generation. iOS 5.0 or later is required.

Using a BT-105 pedal

Note, the BT-106 and all other “keyboard” based pedals are the same. This includes iRig BlueTurn, Coda Technologies STOMP and PageFlip pedals. In the following instructions, all these pedals are referred to as BT-105.

Connect to the BT-105 via the Bluetooth settings page in the iOS settings app. The BT-105 must be in pairing mode. Here is the manual. In addition, the BT-105 must be in iPad Mode. This means it sends up and down arrow keys.

Once the BT-105 is connected successfully it will show up in the MY DEVICES list.

Once this is done. In unrealBook, choose settings->Network->Airturn Setup. In other apps, check the settings->Airturn Setup.

Make sure Keyboard Airturn is a device in the window.

Make sure Keyboard airturn is in the list.

If it is not in the list, add the Keyboard Airturn.

Choose Keyboard (unrealBook versions 4.23 and older)

If you have version 4.24 or later, the info button to the right of Keyboard Airturn will show you the signals your Bluetooth pedal is sending, like up arrow and down arrow.

Notice that if you press your pedal it should show up or down arrow. That means you are in iPad mode. You are done. Close this window by clicking out of it. unrealBook should turn pages with the BT-105.

For reference here is how to set the mode of the BT-105.

Turn off the BT-105 by pressing the red button for 2-3 secondsuntil the LED turns red. Release and the LED will blink 3 more times while the unit shuts down.

To change the mode to the iPad mode, turn off the BT-105 (see above), then turn in on while depressing the footswitch in Port 3-4 (the jack closest to the USB port). Keep the switch depressed until you see the first blink, then release the footswitch and power switch. You will then see one red blink, then 3 green blinks, then one final red blink. You are done.

Reset the pairing of the BT-105

To reset the pairing on the BT-105, turn it on, wait 3 seconds, press and hold the red button for 8 seconds until the LED blinks a rapid series of green and red, then release. If pairing is unsuccessful, delete the device displayed on the host computer and reset the BT-105 pairing again. Initial discovery may take up to 30 seconds (longer on some older PC and MAC computers). To delete the BT-105 from the iPad’s Bluetooth Device listing, tap the blue arrow button next to BT- 105’s serial number and connection status text (“Connected” or “Not Connected”), then press the “Forget this Device” button.

Starting Pairing with BT-105

Turn on the BT-105 by pressing the red power button and holding for 1 second. The LED will blink 3 times and attempt to pair with your computer.

Setting Modes on the DIGIT

1. Turn the DIGIT off.

  1. Hold down the down key (see above) for Presentation 2 & iPad mode.
  2. Turn on the DIGIT.
  3. Release the key as soon as you see the first LED light flash.

You will see the LED blink red once, green for 3 times based on the mode number, and then red one more time. For example, when the Down Arrow is selected for mode 3, the red light will blink once, green 3 times and red once.

Your DIGIT comes programmed ready for mode 3. 

Version 3.8, 3.9

Update: 10-6-18: Unfortunately version 3.8 has a bug with older iOS4 documents. A fix is underway and should be available shortly. The music and annotations appear displaced.

So many additions to version 3.8 and above.

Playback

Settings>Global>Playback

System volume slider control – If on will allow per page volume control of playback for iTunes library files. This is not needed if you use imported mp3 files from dropbox, airdrop, email and link them to a page.

Metronome output – You can choose to output the metronome sound in the left or right channel, or both (center).

Note: if this is on, visual on screen volume will not be present. You will need to choose the music menu Set Player Volume to see the current volume level.

Bluetooth Audio– If you need to send the audio of unrealBook to a Bluetooth or Airplay device, turn this on. Note that this will disable the built in recorder.

Fade out audio – If on, the audio will fade out gradually when stopped.

Fade out time (secs) – You can set a fade out time in seconds.

Identity

Settings->Global->Identity

Identity is used if you want the master to load concert parts and the slaves to load alternate files (Bb, Eb, parts etc…).

Enter a string in the identity field such as -Eb- or -Bb- or -Trumpet- etc… to give your iPad an identity. Once this string is set, it will be added to the end of the filename (before the extension) when a remote load is issued from a master iPad. For example if the master iPad tells the iPad to load myfile.pdf and the identity string is set to -Bb- on the slave, the file name to load on the slave will be changed to myfile-Bb-.pdf on the slave and will be loaded. In the event that a matching file cannot be found, then an error will be displayed. If you want the slave to default to try to match the name without the identity string, then turn on if ID file not found, try to load received filename. This way if a -Bb- file is not found, then the original file will be loaded instead.
