Create a score in Notion for Mac or Windows PC; then continue to work on it on your Windows tablet or iPad. Or capture inspiration on the fly with your iPhone and transfer to your computer for in-depth editing. No other notation software can do this. With Notion and Notion for iOS you can seamlessly create, send, and open scores between Mac, Windows, and iOS devices and continue to work on your score, anywhere, anytime! No matter which platform you use, you get the high-quality playback sounds for which Notion is famous. Plus Notion 6 is a native 64-bit application on all platforms, so you get fast, efficient, and stable performance too. Interactive tools make entry fast and intuitive. Enter notes with ease using Notion 6's interactive fretboard, keyboard, and drum pad. It's the fastest and most convenient way to capture pitches, drum parts, and guitar fingerings. You can even customize the number of guitar strings on the fretboard and the order of entry for each voice for the drum pad. Lyrics can be entered in directly or pasted from any digital source. Want to get your hands on your score? Notion 6's new Powered by MyScript handwriting-recognition feature for Mac, Windows, and iOS lets you write directly into the score, automatically converting your input into digital notation. Choose chords from a generous chord library and create your own chords. It's simple to enter the chord name or voicing you want to appear in your score. Choose from standard chord symbols and fretted chord symbols and design custom chord symbols and diagrams. Chords remain on the fretboard for repeated entry, and the software can recall recently used chords. Chord symbols can be attached anywhere over empty measures, meaning lead sheets can be created in no time! Notion 6's new Powered by MyScript handwriting recognition feature for Mac, Windows, and iOS lets you write in notes, rests, accidentals, time signatures, and more, automatically converting your input into digital notation. You don't have to learn custom gestures or specialized software features, nor must you "teach" the software to recognize your writing; simply write music the way you normally do with a paper score. You can toggle handwriting on and off to write directly into the score area. If you have a large score and don't want to keep zooming in and out, simply open the optional handwriting window. Use MIDI and step-time entry in the main window and handwriting in the optional window for the best of all worlds. If you don't have a touchscreen, use a Lightning cable to connect an iOS device to your Mac or Windows computer and use the iOS device as a graphics tablet, enabled by Duet Display software. Or go with a real graphics tablet, such as a Wacom Intuos or equivalent. In the classroom, use an interactive whiteboard to draw symbols that quickly convert to digital notation. Capture MIDI parts and edit them with your score. Recording MIDI performances and editing MIDI data is easy in Notion. Viewing MIDI and standard notation together makes the experience unique and intuitive. Choose keyboard, guitar, or drum entry, and dial in exactly how Notion will follow your playing. Enter in real time or in step time, then view your MIDI performance data in Notion's Sequencer Staff. Better yet, use the Sequencer Overlay, which allows you to see notation and MIDI performance data on the same staff. Using drag-and-drop, edit each individual note's velocity, duration, start point, and end point. For precise values, double-click each note and customize the note's numeric values directly. Notion combines the power of MIDI sequencing with the clarity of standard notation in a unique and powerful way. If you compose to picture, Notion 6 is your new best friend. Film, video, and TV composers have specialized needs that just start with a synchronized video window. Notion's video window includes a timecode view, and you can add hit points and select the volume, frame rate, and start time. Transport buttons let you control your score from the video window with fine frame control. Unlike other scoring software, Notion can handle all of the most important modern video file formats, including MP4, WMV (Windows only), H.264, MPEG, MOV, AVI, M4V, and 4GP on Mac and Windows. And Notion is the only major scoring program that handles video natively on 64-bit Windows. Don't just play your music: perform it, too. Notion lets you play back a score following metronome marks, but you can also perform your scores live, continuously controlling tempo and velocity. Jump in and out of repeats, vamp measures, fade in and out, and navigate live from your computer keyboard or a MIDI controller. To top it off, Notion 6 comes with the Notion Score Library, a collection of public domain scores in the Notion format. The Notion Score Library is a collection of public domain scores in Notion format, and includes orchestral and piano works, such as Handel's Messiah (complete), Mendelssohn's Flute Concerto, Haydn's Trumpet Concerto, Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, and selections from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. Here are just a few ways you can use the Notion Score Library: Use in class to teach a set work or orchestration Accompany a choir with the whole of the London Symphony Orchestra An instrumental teacher can accompany a student's concerto with one finger Play scores for fun by tapping each beat Hook up a MIDI keyboard for touch-sensitive dynamics, performed in real time Powerful Mix Engine by the folks Who Defined Digital Mixing PreSonus changed live sound with our StudioLive digital mixers. We turned the production world on its ears with our Studio One digital audio workstation. While you might not expect advanced mixing capabilities to appear in ordinary notation software, Notion 6 is far from ordinary. Get truly professional mixes with up to eight stereo buses through the built-in software mixer. Import an audio file to mix with your score or to transcribe from. Process your sounds through eight effects inserts with reverb, guitar-amp simulator, and EQ, compressor, and limiter plug-ins drawn from PreSonus' Studio One DAW. You can also use your favorite VSTs. Yes, Notion is a professional notation program - but it's clearly much more! Serious studio integration. While Notion exceeds all other notation software with its mix capabilities, you can take compositions to the next level by connecting Notion to a leading DAW through superior realtime audio/MIDI streaming over ReWire. Or create a music production powerhouse by pairing Notion 6 with Studio One 3, where you can now send audio, note, track, VST and score data directly between the applications. The workflow between Notion 6 and Studio One 3 is unprecedented, as both applications can run side by side on the same computer or on any computers on the same network. For a potent, yet easy-to-use combination, take advantage of Notion 6's tight integration with Studio One. Compose in Studio One and send note data to Notion for editing and printing parts. Enjoy Notion's superior playback sounds, notation capabilities, and video scoring features in combination with Studio One's in-depth editing, processing, and (with Studio One Professional) integrated Melodyne, mastering, and digital release features. Export the audio or note data for each track and import it into a copy of Notion 6 running anywhere on the network. Better yet, Notion 6 can look for instances of Studio One anywhere on your network, automatically open a new project, and send the audio files or note data, track data, and score data straight to the DAW, retaining instrument name, score order, pan and gain settings, rehearsal marks, initial time signature, and metronome marks. Want to transcribe in Notion and have a reference track? Or perhaps you'd like to add audio effects for triggering during a Notion live performance. With Notion 6, you can send audio from Studio One to any instance of Notion on your network or on the same machine, setting up a new score and attaching the audio to it. Notion supports audio and MIDI over ReWire as a host and slave in 64-bit or 32-bit mode. During playback, with Notion as the host, you have full access to Notion's playback and performance features using the computer keyboard or MIDI keyboard. As the stereo stream from the slave application arrives at Bus A in the mixer, you can alter gain, panning, effects, and so on, just like any other instrument. Send multiple MIDI tracks and buses from Notion to any ReWire-equipped application and drive your instruments directly from notation, including articulations. When Notion is acting as the slave application it follows the commands of a host application. Notion can send up to 32 streams to the host application, start and stop playback, and audition new notes. In fact, you may even forget that Notion is in slave mode until the host begins a playback operation. Deliver professional scores and polished performances. While many Notion layout and notation choices are made automatically so you can focus on creating music, sometimes you need to fine-tune your score's appearance for easy reading and a professional look. Notion 6 provides new layout handles that let you drag notes, measure lines, time signatures, and more, while avoiding accidental respacing. Show and hide parts independently by system and show/hide resting staves for minimal wasted space and maximum readability. Even drag entire systems up and down on the page to adjust the spacing; when you let go, Notion rejustifies the layout. When it's time to deliver, Notion has you covered. Print stunning scores and export PDFs. Export standard MIDI files or MusicXML files for collaborating with people using other notation applications. And deliver fully mixed WAV files or MP3s of your entire performance or individual parts. You can even upload directly to SoundCloud directly from Notion to share your compositions.
