Description

Compose your own music for free with Dorico. Create beautiful music notation for up to eight instruments quickly and easily with the on-screen keyboard, drum pads and fretboard. Play back instantly with the included sounds and shape the performance with powerful MIDI editing tools. When your piece is finished, share it as PDF, audio or MusicXML, or print directly to your AirPrint-enabled printer. Perform using the built-in read mode, and annotate with your Apple Pencil.
Dorico is the award-winning music notation and composition software from Steinberg for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS. It’s easy enough to learn and use that it is used by students in schools, and deep enough that it satisfies the needs of the most demanding professionals in the worlds of concert music, music for film and TV, and music publishing. Dorico for iPad is fully compatible with Dorico for macOS and Windows, so you can work on your projects on the move on your iPad and in your studio on your desktop or laptop computer, or share projects with musicians using Dorico on any platform.
Dorico’s interface is split into four modes. In Setup mode, you can add and change instruments, create and reorder sections of music (called “flows”), and choose how your music will be formatted for your musicians into layouts. In Write mode, you can input and edit music and other notations using simple, well-organized toolboxes and panels. In Engrave mode (included if you buy a paid subscription to Dorico’s advanced features), you can make graphical tweaks to every item in your project. Finally, in Play mode, you have access to powerful sequencer-style MIDI editing tools, including piano roll and velocity editors.
Dorico includes built-in virtual instruments and effects to allow you to play back your compositions, and you can also easily use any compatible Audio Unit plug-in or external MIDI device (with optional subscription or Lifetime Unlock in-app purchase), and tweak playback using the on-screen Mixer.
Input music using an on-screen piano keyboard, or by connecting a MIDI keyboard to your iPad directly via USB or using a compatible USB-to-Lightning adaptor. If you have a Magic Keyboard or other external keyboard, you can make use of extensive keyboard shortcuts to work quickly and efficiently.
Dorico is free to use, allowing you to write for ensembles of up to four players. Register with your free Steinberg ID to increase the player limit to eight, allowing you to write for ensembles like string or wind quartet, or SATB choir. If you want to take your composition and arranging to the next level, you can buy an optional subscription or Lifetime Unlock in-app purchase to access more features and power: write for ensembles of any number of players, and gain access to Engrave mode, allowing you to make graphical tweaks to individual items anywhere in your project.

Funcional e intuitivo

Canário amador on

Brazil

O app é ROBUSTO sem ser INDECIFRÁVEL e RESTRITIVO para quem tenha uma BASE TEÓRICA LIMITADA.

Muito profissional!

Esc.Daniel on

Brazil

Esse é o melhor editor de partituras para dispositivos móveis! Fluido e eficiente, principalmente se utilizar um teclado comum e mesmo um teclado controlador. A versão Elementos é a ideal é contra com todas as funcionalidades importantes. O melhor é utilizar um Ipad 12.9. A equipe que produz esse software é super profissional. Poderia ter mais funcionalidade com o uso da caneta, mas espero que sejam feitas inovações em atualizações futuras.

Simples, free e profissional

Excelente e fluido. Seria execelente inserir as notas com uma caneta digital porque essa forma eu considero uma forma mais “orgânica”.

O mais caro e mais cheio de bug

Paulo Henrique Baldassi on

Brazil

O Apple está cheio de bugs e crashs. No iPadOS 16 ficou impossível de usar com o iPad Pro M1 E IPAD 9. Atualizem esse Apple por favor. Não dá pra renomear as pautas etc etc….

Preciso que vc6 destravem as funções do Dorico! Comprei e nem todas as funções estão funcionando, Travando todas as vezes que vou personalizar: preste de acordes entre outros, cgega ao ponto desair do aplicativo é voltar de novo pra funcionar!

Works great but can be super glitchy…

This app is amazing but it does have its ups and downs. One of the only things I wish it had was a way to make a score for a whole school band. Also it’s really glitchy if you try to add a bunch of different instruments. I love this app and will continue to use it in the future even if it’s still glitchy.

It’s great software for writing music. Very simple and efficient. I like to buy the pro version of Dorico. Im waiting for discount ☺️✌️

Low instruments

YERT BOY on

United States

There is a bug where lower instruments like the bass and contrabass variants of instruments don’t change according to the notation such as they won’t get quieter when there is a piano or a mezzo piano written. I am hoping that this get fixed soon.

I love this app but it keeps kicking me out and erasing my songs

Hegulators on

United States

I got this app and I have written some piano solos on it, but I’ve been working on a band song and it keeps kicking me out. Then when I get back on the app the music is completely gone.
