If you want a separate screen with File Open and the Transport controls, you may find the apps useful.


There are BiaB and RB apps currently. Both allow the for the requirements you mention and may be worth the price (I think it's like a dollar).

In BB you can load the songs to the app (I've not tested this), but in RB it requires running the seq file from the computer (your notebook) for the sound etc. . this I've used numerous times without issue.

Reviews don't look good, but quite honestly I think the reviewers don't see the intent, didn't read the actual specs, or don't understand their current BiaB is the actual server they need. Better documentation would easily solve these issues.

You'll still need the notebook present, but then you can control File selection and Transport functions from your phone or tablet. RB also includes the mixer and other functions; I have not used the BB one much so not sure about the options. For your need it may be just the ticket. It wouldn't matter what the screen looked like on the notebook, the app would allow remote control of the Transport and File selection functions.

I use it during recording more than performance .. it's convenient to stay where I am in the studio and hit rewind-record without having to put the guitar down, or run back over to the drum set etc.
