OnSong is great for personal use: practicing, playing live, and managing your music, but it does so much more!  In this video, Brandon shows you how to project lyrics with OnSong so that your band or audience can follow along.  You won't need expensive lyrics projection software in the back-house when OnSong can do it for you, while you stay in control.  Watch below to learn how to connect your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch to any projector or HDTV using VGA or HDMI video adapters. You can even project lyrics wirelessly through AppleTV using AirPlay.  Brandon teaches you all this and more, including tips and tricks on how to control your lyrics using hot corners or hands free wireless foot pedals.

AirTurn invited OnSong to share a booth at the NAMM show in January of 2014 so Jason talked with Hugh Sung about their latest music tech.  Check out a demonstration of the new AirTurn Tap which gives drummers a touch sensitive page-turner that is more responsive than previous pedals.  AirTurn also demoed their new universal Manos stand mount that allows you to easily and securely display your tablets and phones regardless of size or thick case/cover combinations.

OnSong traveled to Anaheim, CA in January of 2014 to take part in the 2014 NAMM Show.  The National Association of Music Merchants annual conference and expo is THE place to be if you want to see all the latest in musical instruments and technology.  OnSong members Jason and Brandon teamed up with 1Christian.net (Rockin' with the Cross) members Rob and Nate to showcase OnSong at the AirTurn booth.  AirTurn pedals are a great way to integrate OnSong into your live performances so it just made sense to show off both technologies at once.  While at NAMM, Jason and Brandon also got to run around the ridiculously expansive expo and interview several of the hottest new technologies coming to music.  It was an amazing experience! Check out the highlights from the show and some of the interviews below:

While hanging out at NAMM 2014 Jason the founder of OnSong got to check out DrumPants! For anyone who ever drummed the dash of their car, a table, or the side of their leg, DrumPants are for you. These MIDI integrated sensors can be placed anywhere, but they're meant for your pants. Drumming on the sensors creates signals that can be sent to headphones, a wearable amp, or a MIDI enabled iOS App. Program the sensors to make tons of sounds and you have "An entire band in your pocket!"  The sensors could be potentially used to control anything through MIDI, which is groundbreaking wearable computing technology.

The first system musicians can retrofit to guitars, TronicalTune installs to the back of a guitar's headstock without the need of professional installation or alteration.

While walking the floor at the 2014 NAMM show, OnSong founder Jason interviews MISELU representatives about their amazing kickstarter-funded C.24 piano keyboard that doubles as a case for the iPad. This two octave wireless music keyboard uses magnets instead of springs to provide a realistic action and wireless Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate with your iPad. Gregory, one of the MISELU reps said, "It's great for musicians on the go." Not only is it a fully functioning MIDI keyboard, but it also has a slot for extra hardware expansion modules like drum-pads, pitch benders, and programmable buttons. Third party manufacturers are already developing their own modules for the C.24 and the possibilities are endless.  The Kickstarter campaign was fully funded and those units will ship in the next few months.  If you are interested in buying a C.24 you can expect them to be on shelves in Spring 2014 or Preorder yours today at the MISELU website.
