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.

Cosas que podrían añadirse

JesúsViolist on

-Crear barras de anacruza no solo al inicio de la obra. -Cue notes o notas de guía en las partes individuales. -Escritura sin lápiz (desconozco si con teclado se puede). -Los grupetos con símbolo solo se pueden colocar sobre las notas y aveces se requieren en medio de dos notas. -poder seleccionar grupos de instrumentos al imprimir. La aplicación me gusta en especial la parte de conseguir sonidos más realistas, ojalá fueran más económicos.

Bajó la tesitura de metales

alks lpz on

Con la nueva actualización bajo la tesitura de metales

Y bueno

MAQG 23 on

La app es muy cara costo-beneficio, se traba seguido, a veces no reconoce los trazos y es poco fluida

Buena para trabajar con otras apps

AparicioAlejandro on

Es una buena app para trabar ideas rápidas, yo lo ocupo en conjunto con Sibelius en la computadora y son un gran complemento. Tiene una biblioteca de sonidos muy buena. Actualización Septiembre 2023 Desde la actualización, el instrumento Piano (Single Staff) no suena. Por favor, arréglenlo, se ocupa mucho puesto que la app no cuenta con instrumento de Guitarra clásica.

Dissapointed

Edu Nv on

The integration with sample libraries is fantastic. Unfortunately, the handwritting recognition is opinionated, inflexible, and there’s no other way of entering notes.

Horrible que no pueda usarse sin Apple Pencil

Absolutamente útil! on

La compré con mucha ilusión de usarla para mi composición, es una app carísima y es TERRIBLE que sin Apple Pencil no pueda usarse. Tengo un lápiz genérico porque el de Apple es muy caro, y es horroroso haber pagado tanto por algo que no va a servirme de nada.

Features missing

Barrives on

I would really love to have some features that make writing contemporary/experimental music viable, it also would be useful to have customizable staffs for percussion. Currently there’s no way to write microtonal notes and rhythmically complex music. It also lacks the ability to insert or create custom symbols or graphics and write different note heads

Please add video playback

Algosis on

Please add video playback

Puede mejorar

Cruz Bautista on

La Aplicación es buena pero le hacen falta agregar cosas básicas qué normalmente utilizarías en un papel pautado como expresiones mp, mf, ff, Cuesta mucho trabajo agregar estas expresiones, uno espera que con el lápiz sea más fácil sin embargo es complicado, se pierde demasiado tiempo, otro cosa que no puedo agregar es una anacruza con reducción de compás, me gustaría poder realizar eso. Ojalá se puedan agregar mejoras de escrituras por que por el precio uno espera algo más.
