The biggest problem MIDI composers have faced is the fact the systems and software are created by those who are primarily computer programmers first, and musicians second, if at all. NOTION is software developed by Dr. Jack Jarrett, a composer, pianist, and music educator. Adding to his long list of achievements, which included being the head of the composition department at Berklee for ten years, Dr. Jarrett is also an accomplished computer programmer. His goal with NOTION was to create music composition software that allows musicians to focus on music, not technology. According to reviews, he has succeeded.

Notion Music NOTION at a Glance:
  • The first Music-minded composition interface.
  • Samples from the London Symphony Orchestra, recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
  • NTEMPO real-time performance control.

Music-minded Composition Interface
NOTION is designed so musicians can focus on music, not technology. Enter, edit, and manipulate data-rich notation instantly from your workstation or your MIDI instrument. The designer of the acclaimed MusicPrinter Plus has now created the most intuitive score entry ever, with all the advanced features you need to create the most complex score. For the first time, you can compose directly to the orchestra without file conversions, patches, sequencers, or separate sample batches. What you write is what you hear. The NOTION interpretive sample playback engine is notation-driven, capturing every nuance of composition.

Samples from the London Symphony
The best players. The finest instruments. The latest recording technology. Working in concert with an interpretive sample playback engine you can hear a high quality performance of your notation instantly. Without external hardware or other software products you can go from notation directly to an incredible sample library by simply pressing "Play". NOTION does all the work. NOTION developers worked with the London Symphony Orchestra to record thousands of the highest quality samples at legendary Abbey Road Studios. So you can use your creativity for composing - not imagining what your ideas sound like.

Play Iive
