Don't turn pages. Watch them turn. While you play, your hands are spoken for. A pedal is one more thing to carry, and a nod or a blink can throw off your posture. With Klassian you look at the corner of the page, and it turns. Keep both hands on your instrument. GAZE PAGE TURNS - The right spot to turn is different in every piece. Klassian finds where the music ends on each page and places the trigger zone for you. - Preventing accidental turns mattered as much as accuracy. Your gaze has to settle in the zone, and after a turn it must leave and come back before the next one. - Tune the dwell time and the size of the zone yourself. - It keeps adjusting to you as you play, so it holds up better when your seat, your stand height, or your posture changes. THE CAMERA FEED NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPAD All gaze processing happens on the device. Your face and the camera feed are never stored and never sent. Even in a hall with no internet, reading and turning work exactly the same. VIEWER AND ANNOTATION - Pen, highlighter, eraser, stamps and text notes, just as you would on paper. - A tap on the bar below fans the pages out. They glide beneath your fingertip and settle where you stop. - Two-page spreads, portrait and landscape, and Split View. PERFORMANCE ROUTE A score doesn't always move straight ahead. It goes back, skips ahead, returns again. Set the markers once and Klassian follows repeats, D.C., D.S. and codas for you. LIBRARY Scores arrive in any format. Each gets a cover, and together they become a library, sorted into folders and searchable by composer and instrumentation. You can also search public domain scores from inside the app and add them to your shelf. SCHEDULE AND PRACTICE - Share or paste a booking message and Klassian finds the date, time and venue and adds them to your calendar. The fee, too. - Share a calendar with your teacher or your ensemble, and no one has to ask who is free when. - The metronome, the recorder and white noise are built in. Your practice log starts when you do and stops when you finish. - How many times you were on stage this month, how much you were paid, and what you are still owed, all on one screen. ON IPHONE Scores on iPad, schedule on iPhone. Your data syncs automatically, and one subscription covers every device. REQUIREMENTS iPad Pro (2018 or later), iPad Air (3rd generation or later), iPad mini (5th generation or later) and iPad (8th generation or later). No pedal, no remote. Try it first, then decide.
