Overview

MADE FOR COMPOSERS. StaffPad is designed for composers who want to create music effortlessly, using handwriting recognition for music notation and seamless audio support on your score canvas. Write your music using Surface Pen, 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, edit intuitively with pen gestures, drag in royalty-free Elements and mix your score with StaffPad's suite of studio effects. From basic idea to a full film score, StaffPad is the easiest, most powerful and most intuitive way to create music on a Windows tablet. *IMPORTANT NOTE: STAFFPAD **REQUIRES** A DEVICE WITH ACTIVE PEN CAPABILITIES. DESIGNED FOR SURFACE. ———————————— EDIT EASILY Write your score with the fluidity of natural handwriting. Use touch and pen to quickly edit your notation. Transpose, repeat and structure your score with intuitive gestures and tools. Add smart symbols easily from the symbols palette, turning the pen into an articulation paintbrush. 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. Every aspect of StaffPad has been thought about from a composer's point of view, making the tools simple to create your masterpiece. ———————————— HEAR YOUR MASTERPIECE.

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 For the first time, you can seamlessly mix audio with your notated score.
