New NOTION software lets musicians compose, playback and perform original music in realistic concert-quality sound
January 20, 2005 |
NOTION, the innovative music notation and performance software, debuts at The NAMM Show '05. NOTION offers musicians the ability to compose, playback and perform original compositions with a realistic sound quality unprecedented in the industry, thanks to thousands of individual samples performed by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.
Developed by VirtuosoWorks, Inc., NOTION is the first completely integrated package of its kind. Designed to be used on any PC (MAC version in Fall of 2005), it combines a full-featured music notation system with interpretive algorithms linked to a proprietary playback engine that offers samples of thousands of individual notes and articulations from orchestral instruments. A unique user-controlled tempo triggering system, named NTEMPO, facilitates accompaniment of live voice and/or instruments to make NOTION a versatile and practical performance system.
"NOTION gives musicians the ease of a user-friendly notation-based music writing interface combined with the auditory aid of full fidelity orchestral playback," says Dr. Jack Jarrett, a distinguished conductor, composer, educator and creator of NOTION. "Since NOTION was developed by musicians, anyone who can write or play music and operate a PC can easily use it right away.
"We created NOTION to give all musicians, music students and teachers, working musicians, composers and songwriters the means to hear their compositions as they write and to perform the finished work, regardless of financial limitations or venue restrictions," says Jarrett, who is VirtuosoWorks vice president of research and development.
VirtuosoWorks will demonstrate all NOTION capabilities at The Winter NAMM Show '05 at Booth 1100 in Hall E.
