Anyone use a Music Pad Pro?

Post by Walter Killam »

this is a longshot, but . . .

I use a Musicpad Pro as an onstage video/sheet music monitor, and as great as this thing is, I don't like that I have to import images via their Windows file manager utility.

I have been researching the issue, and determined that they import images in what appears to be a fairly standard .png format with proprietary metadata in the file header. I've been able to get the system to recognize standard .png images as .fh (FreeHand)files, but get a checksum error when opening the files.

Has anyone tried/succeeded in direct file manipulation?

For the record, I'm not trying to infringe on FreeHand's business, I'm just looking for a way to move files directly from my Linux box(not supported by Freehand) to the Music Pad Pro. I would like to retire one of my last Windows machines, and Freehand is winding down support for the device!
Mostly junque with a few knick-knacks that I really can't do without!
