iRig BlueBoard Review

The iRig BlueBoard is a Wireless Bluetooth MIDI Pedal Board that works well with OnSong to allow musicians to perform multiple hands-free operations.  OnSong team member Brandon is a band leader, worship leader, and gigging musician who regularly performs live.  Here's a video of his iRig BlueBoard Review, and you can read below for his highlights.


Features:
  • 4 backlit assignable foot switches
  • (2) 1/4" inputs for assignable expression pedals or switches
  • Bank, MIDI Program, and MIDI Control Changes
  • BlueBoard iOS App runs in the background, translating Bluetooth messages into MIDI instructions
  • Runs on AAA batteries (Standard or AAA NiMH Rechargeble batteries)
Pros:
  1. Size: Small enough to fit into standard laptop bags.  Helpful for gigging musicians who travel.
  2. Store up to 32 Presets
  3. MIDI on-screen keyboard allows continued control even during disconnect
  4. Price: Under $100 (Airturn 4-Pedal is $159)
  5. Ability to add two extra foot pedals or switches
Cons:
  1. Construction:  Low quality plastic, may not last as long as competitors in live gig settings.
  2. Foot Switch Sliding:  Prone to moving around on stage.
  3. Unstable Connection:  Bluetooth disconnected a few times during a long set.
  4. Confusing App:  User interface on provided app was not intuitive and took a while to figure out.
  5. Foot Switch Response:  Sometimes the buttons where hard to press or slow to respond.
Brandon found this pedal to be a useful, low cost tool for gigging musicians who want to keep their hands free while using OnSong.  The price and expansion ability make this a great choice for those on a budget.  However, with a few more bucks in your wallet, you may want to hold out for the more expensive competitors that are better built and more durable.

Overall Rating: B

There is a huge, simply uncountable number of dating sites in the world, all of them are monotonous, and it is very difficult to find your love there. I never paid attention to those sites at all. I kept thinking that all those sites were just a scam and that finding love there was simply impossible. I always thought that all these sites are just a scam and it's impossible to find ukrainian brides there. Finding a girl turned out to be very easy, because the website has a huge number of them and the staff helped me in finding a girl just like the one I wanted!

Where people don't want a pal to chat to, a girlfriend or a woman. I still chose to try my luck to be honest. And I'll assure you I haven't missed all of it. I would guarantee I haven't been a little sorry. Everything about my life is good today, I am becoming a different individual. My friends have known this website a long time and don't want to abandon it, because you can find bulgarian women to taste completely everywhere, and you can find a shared language with them quickly.

I recently became interested in Italian Mail Order Brides. I don't know what got me hooked, I just really wanted to try to find myself a beautiful wife so I wouldn't be lonely. I hope the guys will help me with this as they have helped others.

Mail order wives are becoming more and more popular in different parts of the world. Personally, I can attribute this to the increase in the number of women and the development of technology that makes online dating successful. Coming to Ukraine as a single and seeking man, it is possible to return home with a spouse. However, this is not a guarantee. Some men have left the country with empty pockets and more lonely than when they arrived. With the help of bestukrainianbrides.com you will not be among the losers and find the perfect partner
