Steinberg Dorico Elements 5

Steinberg’s Dorico series has been setting the standard for what professional-level music notation software should be for years, and the comprehensive new upgrades within Dorico’s fifth iteration manage to raise that bar even higher! Dorico Elements 5 builds upon its previous versions’ world-class notation, printing, and incredibly realistic virtual instruments — combining these features with greatly enhanced workflow tools, refined MIDI functionalities, and an expanded selection of font families. Despite Dorico Elements 5’s immense editing and compositional power, tools such as the new space and stage templates, expressive pitch contour playback, and live click-and-drag editing make it easier to use than ever.

Powerful features streamline your creative process

Dorico Elements 5 is a potent creative tool for modern composers. Automatically produce a conductor’s score with a single click. Generate tablature for instruments with any number of strings. Employ templates to set up your playback preferences, combining sounds from any virtual instrument and sound library. Build compelling arrangements with gorgeous choir samples from Soundiron. Benefit from the automatic calculation of harp pedal changes. Group playing techniques to align them together and show transitions from one to another. You also get enhanced lyric editing, velocity and pitch bend editing, glissando playback, new tokens for music symbols, and automatic notation of harmonics. A revamped Project Info dialogue, VST Expression Maps, and refined user interface are also included.

Created by musicians for musicians

It’s clear from Steinberg’s hardware and software products that its developers are involved in music production themselves. Dorico Elements 5 is no exception. Its single-display layout and wizard-like composition process are a refreshing alternative to other notation software. You’ll benefit from revisions that allow you to compose without barlines, play notes and chords not written in your score, and audition parts across the score in real time without altering your project. Dorico Elements 5 aims to let you, the composer, arrange music in an intuitive way that lets you see beyond the computer screen.

Hear your pieces played as you intended

Dorico Elements 5’s included HALion instruments libraries give you real-time feedback on precisely which instruments your piece is calling for. The complete HALion Symphonic Orchestra library offers captivating percussion, horns, and strings perfect for traditional and modern works. Beyond that, Dorico Elements 5 supports third-party VST3-compatible virtual instruments and effects and includes a top-end compressor, brickwall limiter, and more.
