sibelius 5 "vs" cubase as a sequencer

Your music and my music prove the post count. When I have 1500 I better be as good as you!

Thanks both Vince and Nikolas!

I take it you mean that playing a midi keyboard is a rotten way of inputting notes in Notion, and that it is only useful for mouse/staff input?

Can you export Finale or Sibelius files to Notion (as Nickolas states is possible with Cubase)?

I see that Bela Fleck's Futureman and his bassist brother Victor use Notion, so it might be pretty cool.

I'm attending the NAMM show in Nashville in 10 days so I'll hopefully get to check some of this stuff out there....

All I mean with the MIDI keyboard is that the Real Time input is bad, which is playing while Notion is trying to notate while you play. You can still hit an E key on the keyboard and it will input the note fine, its just the real time that isn't all that great. As far as I know, you can't use GPO or anything like that, but I think Notion's playback is fine...you can listen to mypieces on this site, they are all done with just Notion and its playback. Best of luck!

Thanks, Vince...

I think you mean that "step time" (where you input notes via a midi keyboard but not at tempo) works well?

I'll check out your pieces here and when the trial Notion comes in the mail in a few days I'll see how it works!

Thanks,

Yes, step time works perfectly fine (ugh, that rhymed). I think most like Finale and Sibelius, I'm just presenting more options
