What’s new in Notion 6

Building on the success of previous versions, PreSonus has refined and streamlined the software’s interface for a faster workflow with new layout control features. A whole host of new features allow you to create and compose much faster. You can now drag to respace measures and systems as well as seamlessly transfer between apps with updated Music XML support. MP3 export support has been added as well as MIDI over ReWire for deeper integration with your favourite DAW. As well as that, Notion 6 can now be integrated with Studio One with unprecedented side-by-side workflow integration.

DAW-style mixer and studio-grade effects

Borrowing from their Studio One digital audio workstation, PreSonus has incorporated the same advanced mixing capabilities found in the award-winning DAW. Now you can mix your composition directly from Notion, with eight stereo buses to use. You can also process your sounds with a whole host of studio-grade effects including an EQ, compressor, reverb, guitar-amp simulator and limiter plugins taken from the Studio One DAW!. You can even incorporate your favourite virtual instruments for an expanded sound palette.

Multiple ways to compose and interact with instruments

PreSonus Notion 6 features a streamlined, intuitive interface that allows you to get the most out of your time when composing and scoring. Inputting notes is easy, using either an external MIDI controller, or you can enter notes with ease using Notion 6’s interactive fretboard, keyboard, and drum pad.

Compose and notate on the move

Now available for Mac, Windows, and iPad, you can take your Notion 6 workstation with you anywhere you go. The cross-platform design means no matter where you are, you’re always ready to create, compose and notate music. Notion 6 also offers deep integration with PreSonus Studio One, perfect for when you need to mix, master and re-arrange your compositions.

Handwrite your own scores

One of the most cutting-edge features of Notion 6 is the ability to score your composition by hand. Using the groundbreaking MyScript handwriting-recognition technology, you can write your score directly into the software. It will then convert your input into digital notation instantaneously!
