Most Expansive Sample Library Bundled with a Notation Software Program
MORE INSTRUMENTS – FROM CLASSICAL TO ROCK
NOTION3 comes with a greatly expanded sound library that now includes all of the Guitar, Bass, and Drum samples from PROGRESSION. From Orchestral, to Jazz, to Rock, NOTION3 has the sounds to support virtually any musical genre.
EXPANDED AND ENHANCED
NOTION3 features a new enhanced sample library of the London Symphony Orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Each instrument was painstakingly recorded to capture a full set of multi-timbre samples, articulations, performance techniques, and expressions. The new NOTION3 library was recorded in stereo capturing numerous dynamic levels per sample. The end result is a fuller, richer sound with greater expression than ever before. When combined with NOTION3’s pro-audio features, scores can be played back with incredible realism.
TRUE EXPRESSIVE CONTROL (TEC)
NOTION3’s proprietary TEC Sample Management Engine automatically maps every score element to the exact sound, enabling the user to experience the full palette of sound unique to each instrument without having to deal with MIDI editing and without the need for external software or hardware.
The London Symphony Orchestra is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading orchestras. The LSO constantly attracts the best players, many of whom also have flourishing solo and chamber music careers. The LSO also has a long association with film music, recording some of the most unforgettable film scores of our time.
GUITAR, BASS, AND DRUM SAMPLES BY NEIL ZAZA, VICTOR AND ROY WOOTEN
NOTION3 features thousands of real electric and acoustic guitar samples from world-renown guitarist Neil Zaza, the instrumental guitarist with an unparalleled ability to combine solid, catchy songwriting with a keen melodic sense and technical fury, as well as electric bass and drums samples from Grammy® Award winners Victor Wooten and Roy “Futureman” Wooten.
