Description
MADE FOR COMPOSERS
-------------------------
StaffPad is designed for composers who want to write music effortlessly, using music notation and audio. Write your music using Apple Pencil, and the app will transform your writing into beautifully typeset notation that can be edited, played back, printed and shared. Record or import audio directly onto your score and edit it intuitively with Apple Pencil. Magically convert your real piano playing or existing recordings into notation using advanced on-device machine learning. Add video, smart symbols and use world leading sample libraries and mix your score with a suite of studio effects. From basic idea to a full film score; StaffPad is the easiest, most powerful and most intuitive way to compose music on iPad.
WRITE NATURALLY
-------------------
Write your score with the fluidity of natural handwriting. Use touch and Apple Pencil to quickly edit your notation. Transpose, repeat and structure your score with intuitive gestures and tools. Customise the tempo with a unique tempo staff (or import a tempo map from a MIDI file), add chords either manually or automatically with the chord staff. You can even copy music written in StaffPad into other apps, simply using the normal copy and paste functions.
HEAR YOUR MASTERPIECE
----------------------------
With a groundbreaking playback engine and over 55 included instruments, StaffPad is ready to perform your written piece instantly. Add industry-standard sample libraries, adapted and customised for StaffPad, from some of the world's leading sample developers. This is a leap forward for composers working at the highest levels.
SHARE WITH SCORESYNC
---------------------------
Once you're ready to perform or record your work, tap the ScoreSync button in StaffPad and your score is instantly shared across a Wi-Fi network to any device running the free StaffPad Reader app (available in the App Store). The Readers present each individual musical part beautifully formatted, update in realtime with any changes you make to your score, handle automatic page turns, and play back in perfect time with a synchronised metronome, for capturing the perfect recording every time.
IMPORT AND EXPORT
---------------------------
StaffPad imports and exports MusicXML and MIDI files for easily working with other music apps. You can also export your playback as WAV, AAC or MP3. You can import audio files into your score, with support for most major audio formats.
WORK WITH AUDIO AND VIDEO
--------------------------------
For the first time, you can seamlessly mix audio with your notated score. Record directly onto the score canvas using your device's in-built microphones, or import loops, Tempo map freeform/rubato performances using the tempo staff. Add shine to your production with a suite of studio quality DSP effects, and polish with precise automation.
PIANO AND MIDI CAPTURE
---------------------------
Record your real piano and convert it into notation. Don't have a real piano? Don't worry - you can connect a USB or Bluetooth MIDI keyboard and record your performance in realtime, converting to notation as you play.
PRINT / PDF
------------
As well as digital parts via ScoreSync, StaffPad will automatically format and print parts or export PDFs for you. Customise the paper size, bar number styles, number of bars per line, scaling, margins, multi-bar consolidation and more. StaffPad automatically formats the score for consistent presentation.

Ratings and Reviews
I’m flabbergasted!
Finally a serious notation app.
The sound packs are of desktop quality.
The most boring thing with composing is to copy down the music. Using Staffpad is like writing on paper. No hazzles. My Apple Pencil is working perfectly with StaffPad, and it’s really easy to copy down the music I hear in my head. Expensive? Not really, if you compare with desktop programs… with them you even have to use a mouse… Staffpad is a clear five stars app.
Highly recommended!
I have used Symphony Pro 5, Notion and Notateme. StaffPad is the best, no doubt! It is also very expensive (or maybe not considering). Highly recommended that you watch some YouTube videos in order to imitate the best writing style for this app. After that, this app has no problems recognizing my hand writing.
So many clever choices made in this app that makes writing music faster and more fun than ever.
Its a scam
Do not buy this app unless you plan to only compose.
The sound librarys sounds terrible and you have to buy librarys that cost 10 time the price of the app.
If you import xml files with sounds that Staffpad doesnt have, then it wont play and you cant even change instruments.
But worst of all: There is no free testing, and If you regret bying it, there is no refund…
