Notion 2.2 is an advanced music program dedicated to bringing a revolutionary degree of realism to the creation and communication of your musical vision. The Notion playback engine is natively equipped with a library of realistic sampled sounds taken from the musicians of the London Symphony Orchestra, which means that your music goes from inception to realization right away.

Notion's score-entry interface offers a set of highly-intuitive keyboard shortcuts that make manual entry faster than ever. The NTempo™ feature enables you to take musical ideas even further, offering the opportunity to control the performance tempo in real time.
