I'm still sticking with Notion and look forward to all it's developments. It's already in place elsewhere, so as customers we should ask for what we really want, not halfway houses. That took a lot of work on their part, but if they can make it easy enough for us users to do that for ourselves on whatever vst package we want, then they could be the best there is.Īs say, I am not criticising, I am merely pointing out that we all seem to be trying to find over-elaborate ways to do things that an end-user shouldn't have to think about in the first place.
There is no program around that can load up a stave with a patched instrument linked to the notation markings with the ease of Notion. Personally, I think there's room for both and I feel more secure owning more than one notation system that I am happy to use, but I just feel that Notion have come so far in this respect they just need pushing over that last parameter.

Now given that the original package as it stands was written more than a decade ago and still runs fine on Windows 7 64 bit machines happily hosting any VST package you can throw at it, an improved version may be eyewateringly awesome and nibble away at Notion's growth. Well he's not dead apparently, and is threatening a whole new package. Which is a shame, because as a holder of a computing degree I can tell you that in my opinion he was a computing genius. This is the flexibility that would make Notion the world beater added to it's already impressive capabilities.īut why should this worry Notion? By my own admission I jumped ship because the one man operation that was Overture was to all intents and purposes dead, and that one man had disappeared in what looked like a nervous breakdown. No text editing, no special computer knowledge beyond using menus required. You can assign it to that individual mark, the whole part or the whole score.

You can just pull down a menu on any articulation, expression or marking and assign it the patch and/or midi characteristic of your choice as well as total midi editing support.
I bought it immediately and think it stupendous value for money.ĭon't get me wrong, Notion beats Overture in layout, and most aspects of note entry, but this whole aspect of having to mangle rule sets and reams of XML is a bit Heath-Robinson isn't it? I know you will say that the instrument templates in Overture are just XML files, but the beauty of the Overture system is that their own instruments sets are rendered obsolete. As every Overture owner knows the big boys (S & F) may be big, but woefully lacking in flexibility when put up against Overture, so Notion was a very timely entrant in the marketplace and I have to say it's a very impressive package. I'm sure I'm not the only Overture user, who at the time of Notion's launch had given up on any further support for Overture and was looking around for a useable alternative. Let me start this post by saying that I am very impressed with most aspects of Notion but this whole system of rule sets to me seems to be the bit where it's missing the point.
