Good morning, everyone.

I am pleased to announce that Home Concert Xtreme for the iPad is now available in the iTunes store. It was accepted by Apple 2 days ago.

If you have fantasized about being able to play your Disklavier and enjoy automatic page-turning and orchestrated accompaniments that actually follow your playing, you need not fantasize any longer. You can now enjoy these features with your Disklavier and iPad.

As many of you know, HCX is a software program for Macintosh and Windows computers (and now iPad) that works with Standard MIDI Files. This includes most of the MIDI files available for the major piano methods and supplementary books, piano concerto MIDI files, and properly formatted MIDI files that you create yourself or find on the Internet. HCX turns the keyboard part into standard notation for display on the screen. As you play, HCX accompanies you by playing the other tracks.

Imagine being able to see your music on a handy tablet display, resize it using the "pinch" and "spread" techniques, or turn the pages by swiping the screen. Even better, imagine connecting the iPad to your Disklavier and letting HCX turn your pages automatically and musically coordinate accompaniment tracks with your playing. If you are learning a new piece and want some help, HCX will patiently wait for you to play each not correctly and even show you the right note if you get mixed up. If you engage Perform mode, the program will actually coordinate the accompaniment tracks with your playing.

To connect an iPad to your Disklavier, use a MIDI interface (such as the Yamaha UX-16 or UX-96) and attach it to Apple's Camera Connection Kit USB adapter for the iPad. Alternatively, use the iPad-native iConnectMIDI interface (www.iconnectivity.com<http://www.iconnectivity.com>) and 2 MIDI cables to connect directly to the iPad itself.

HCX for iPad has a built-in General MIDI tone generator. You wont need to use that with a Mark IIXG or later Disklavier. However, if you have an older Disklavier that lacks a GM tone generator or a Yamaha MIDI instrument that lacks the GM voices--such as an AvantGrand or a CLP Clavinova, you can use the built-in GM tone generator and route its sound through speakers.

HCX for Macintosh and Windows costs $99.00. HCX for iPad will be a $39.99 program starting August 1, 2011. Between now and then, we have placed it in the iTunes store at an introductory price of $9.99.
