I went and bought it. Not that I'm a composer, but my innocent Nephew's starting to hang out with music types (religious focus), so a tryout for next Xmas's gift is in order, help make him more au fait with that crowd. One I met 'arranges' don't you know.

Plus the Note Entry from keyboard is a doddle, nothing like the laborious mouse-clicks I now hafta live with if I want to write stuff.

The shipping charge is a first class pain, pushing half the item price, so I sprung the $7 that'll make it International Priority - get something more than what a plain ripoff is offering.

If you run V3 you will see a uge difference in that matter.

I'm not sure what to make of it. It's a combination of a notation program, a sequencer, and an orchestral library that also now lets the user load additional vsti's such as PianoTeq.

This review from SOS is mainly positive. I don't know enough about the best notation programs to know if it has limitations or advantages. Apparently the latest version is a serious upgrade:

One thing that may limit it as a sequencer: I don't think you can record into it (as in recording with a mic) or add an audio file. In other words, if you want to record a singer backed by instruments played with Notion3 , you would have to record using Notion, put that file into another sequencer, and then overdub the vocal.

That's just my impression from looking at their site and reading the review, however. Any Notion3 users here?

I'm by no means classically trained, but I can appreciate this sound.

And this recording has me interested in the program Notion3. They've put together an interesting combination of a sequencer's pianoroll interface and a conventional staff, with the color indicating velocity and the flats and sharps noted:

Not affiliated. I'm just aways interested in new developments in sequencers.

Hi . . Jake . . I don't say too much on here but I did check out that original sequence . . . wow . . . not only does the piano sound great but the piece will certainly show up somewhere big time. I hope Philippe et al hear it.

I ran across this on the Notion forum. The first post has a link to the recording created by the person who started the thread:
