But Dorico brings with it several new and unique strengths: it is the only music notation app for iPad capable of producing publication-quality results (and indeed the only one that produces results pretty close to publication-quality by default with no intervention from the user) it is the only app that includes support for third-party Audio Unit virtual instruments and effects and it is the only app to include an integrated Key Editor, with powerful MIDI editing tools available both in Write and Play modes.

For a decade now, apps like Notion and Symphony Pro have provided rich and functional options for users looking to create scores on their iPads, and of course just last year saw the introduction of StaffPad for iPad after several years as a Windows-only app.

In some senses, Dorico is pretty late to the party for notation software on the iPad.

But right now let me give you a quick tour of the app and tell you a little more about it. If you’d like to find out more about the story behind the creation of Dorico for iPad, you can check that out elsewhere on the blog. It’s Dorico, it’s on the iPad, it’s free… and it’s pretty great.Īs is customary, please allow my honey-voiced colleague Ant to introduce Dorico for iPad with this brief overview video:įor a more in-depth look at the software, John Barron presents a one-hour live demonstration of the app in English at 1300 UTC (2pm London, 9am New York, 6am Los Angeles, 10pm Tokyo, 11pm Sydney), and Markus Hartmann has a German-language demonstration at 1400 UTC (4pm Berlin). Make no mistake: this is no mere companion app that requires the desktop app. Dorico for iPad packs all of the music notation and composition power of the desktop version into a whole new form factor, and opens up the use of this revolutionary application to the hundreds of millions of iPad users worldwide. Today is perhaps the most significant day in Dorico’s history since the release of Dorico 1.0 for macOS and Windows back in October 2016: we are delighted to announce that Dorico is now available for iPad, and can be downloaded free from the App Store.
