I was contemplating rebooting the iPad, which might have taken too long. I needed to at least fix the problem before we started the next tune. But I was so flustered I couldn't find those things on the iPad, and couldn't spend time looking up the manual. Also bring up the Tuning section of the main settings screen and check that it hadn't been inadvertently set to something other than A440. I now realize I needed to go into options, global midi settings, and check the small transpose box at the bottom. In the moment, I couldn't remember how to check all the midi and tuning sections (I don't normally transpose or change tunings). This was pretty much a disaster IMO, as I've never had my rig fail me like that on a gig. I had to stop playing the first tune and let the band go on without me. I don't think it was exactly a half step low because I tried to transpose my playing and it still was a little off. We started the first song, and I immediately realized my piano was not in tune with the rest of the band. If we had done any sound check, I could have avoided the first problem. We had no opportunity for a sound check of any type. Our group was set to play as soon as another band, set up next to ours, stopped. We were playing under a canopy for shade. The gig was outdoors at a music festival, temp. I was running and testing this setup the night before and it worked perfectly. Pianoteq was installed on a standard (i.e. I play an Arturia Keylab 88 Mk2, with a scarlett focusrite 2i4 interface. Here's a summary of the experience, and a couple issues I ran into (not flaws with Pianoteq). I recently played my first gig using Pianoteq 8 on an iOS device.
