I should note that at this time there is no real-time MIDI input. If you need to tweak the way a part sounds separately from how it looks it’s totally possible, as the piano roll is ‘de coupled’ from the visible notation. You can work with parts as you would tracks, and you can compose or arrange directly into Dorico at lightning speed. There is a piano-roll style editor like you’d find in any modern DAW, and it’s really convenient. Sure, you can play in real time with Sibelius, but the result often needs to be tweaked and cleaned up quite a bit (or you wind up with a lot of dotted 64th notes because your timing wasn't 'machine perfect’).ĭorico includes a sequencer that is a subtle nod to Cubase.

My usual workflow consists of constructing my main parts in Logic, and then exporting to my notation software after I have cleaned up and quantized to my liking. It’s no secret that working with parts via MIDI can be a bit torturous in most modern notation software. One of Dorico’s features I was most excited to spend some extended time with was the built-in sequencing. The list of features that were added in year one is pretty staggering, and a quick pop onto the Dorico forum at Steinberg’s site instills confidence in the team for sure. Prospective Dorico users will be happy to know that communicating and interacting with the community is one trait of the Dorico team that has endured. Years ago, you could pop onto the Sibelius forum, suggest a feature and actually see that feature implemented with feedback from fellow users. Why does this matter? Well, the original Sibelius team was known for their engagement with their end users.

It may interest you to know that Dorico was developed from a clean slate by the original Sibelius team. Many hardcore Sibelius users were thrown for a loop when Avid purchased, and then subsequently ‘restructured’ the notation team a while back. With Dorico, however, I do feel it is important to note that Steinberg has managed to amass much of the original team behind the development of Sibelius. With many software titles, the end user knowing the development team is not particularly important. As a constant music ‘charter’ and longtime Sibelius/Finale user, I was excited to see if Dorico could speed up my notation workflow. I was so impressed with what I saw that I immediately jumped on the chance to review Dorico so that I could better assess its strengths and weaknesses. While getting my step count up at NAMM, I had a chance to swing by the Steinberg booth and take a look at Dorico - the newest ‘kid on the block’ in the music notation world.
