Description

With over 10 years in the App Store, Notion Mobile is a free, award-winning music composition tool for iOS, iPadOS®, macOS and more! You’ll effortlessly create dynamic compositions in traditional musical notation or guitar tablature with its intuitive touch-based interface and incredibly broad editing capabilities.

With a user-friendly interface and simple interactive piano keyboard, fretboard, drum pad, and even optional Handwriting Recognition, Notion Mobile makes it easy to get started composing your music. You can also hear your music performed with the most realistic playback possible, using real audio samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

Notion Mobile is a native cross-platform app, meaning you can write anywhere on any device without requiring a constant Internet connection. And when you’re back online, you’ll be able to sync your work across multiple devices — either through your preferred cloud provider, or through the optional wireless transfer between PreSonus applications on any device. Start your work on one device and finish it on another. Once you are happy with your creation you can share the Notion file, or export as MIDI, MusicXML, PDF or as an audio file.

Compose, edit, and play back your music performed with real piano and orchestral samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios — along with outstanding sampled guitar, bass, drums and other popular instruments. And when you’re ready for more sounds, you’ll find the extensive library of Notion Add-on Soundsets to purchase as part of the Feature Bundle. To save space, the initial app download contains just piano — you can then manage which of the bundled Soundsets to have on your device or keep in the cloud, just tap on Sound Installation.

Notion has been featured in various Apple campaigns including the 2014 YourVerse television commercials and has won several awards, including a prestigious music industry NAMM TEC Award for Best Smartphone/Tablet App.

What you get:
Notion Mobile includes unlimited staves, comprehensive editing features and core orchestral and rhythm section Soundsets — all for free. You can optionally register (also for free!) to unlock an additional Soundset (containing Solo Strings, Classical Saxophones and Glockenspiel), the multivoice function that allows writing in up to 4 voices per staff, and access to the friendly Notion Mobile User Forum. Then for the full experience, either sign in with your Studio One+ membership or purchase the Notion Feature Bundle. This unlocks Handwriting Recognition, Layout Controls, all the Expansion Soundsets (including many auxiliary instruments and additional articulations and effects), additional audio export formats (m4a, OPUS, FLAC) and direct file transfer between any PreSonus application running on the same network (including Notion Mobile, Notion Desktop, and Studio One.)

Developer Response ,

Hi, we have multiple notes being entered fine here, for both step time input and real time input from the onscreen keyboard.

Please drop us a message via the Feedback button from the Help Menu within the app, and we can help you further - even if the above has resolved it, it'd good for us to know you are sorted. We need to know your device and your iOS version.

Or do a quick screen capture video, and post in our Facebook group - you'll soon get some help if there is user or device error.

I like the feature of the apps, but the apps is not stable, often clash on my IPad and my work is missing due to clashing. Sometime the copy n paste feature doesn't work, I have to restart app, then only it will working again. In addition, there is no auto save for the apps, all my work gone just due to clashing, I need to redo everything over again..Kindly update and fix the problem.

Please update!!!

I’m a guitar teacher and I’m using notion to transcribe pieces for my students. Notion is my on the go transcription app, but I feel a lil outdated. This is because the lag and the constant app crashed, not to mention sometimes my score goes blank all of a sudden and I can’t retrieve it back. Please update the bug fix! I love notion, it’s easy to use but the bugs are making things difficult.

Developer Response ,
