ALL ARTICULATIONS
Dorico comes with dozens of powerful effects processors to sculpt your sound, and Dorico 5’s new Space and Stage templates make it simple to try out different configurations: use a simple visual interface to move instruments on the virtual stage, and Dorico automatically translates that into pan and reverb settings. Experiment with different rooms, and quickly recall any previous state by creating a mixer snapshot. Reorder and rename outputs, create send buses, and more.

Dorico reads the notations in your score the way a human musician does, automatically switching to different articulations and playing techniques using whatever sample library you choose. Building on these foundations, Dorico’s playback is more expressive than ever, using sophisticated algorithms to breathe life into phrases in the same way human musicians do. No longer do you need great keyboard skills to bring your notated music to life.

Human musicians use their experience and intuition to interpret the complex polyphonic textures of music written for piano, keyboard, harp, and mallet percussion, emphasizing melodies and bass lines above material that provides texture and harmony – and do all of this without direct, detailed instructions in the music notation. Dorico 5’s new voice balancing algorithms allow it to come closer than ever to the expressive nuance of human performance, completely automatically. It can even emphasize fugue subjects in contrapuntal music.

Groove Agent SE is the entry-level version of Steinberg’s creative drum software and is now included with Dorico 5. It includes a version of The Kit, an acoustic drum kit recorded in Berlin’s Teldex Studios, including its classic reverb chamber, and provides a choice of two mic positions. Not only can Groove Agent SE be used as a high-quality drum kit playback device for your Dorico projects, but it also includes more than 400 MIDI drum patterns, performed by top studio drummers, and mixed by Steinberg’s expert engineers. You can trigger these in Dorico using the new MIDI trigger region or drag and drop any pattern onto the track overview in Play mode to import that pattern.

Dorico’s new MIDI trigger regions play a note or chord that doesn’t appear in the score for a period determined by you. This is especially useful for triggering MIDI patterns in plug-ins like Groove Agent SE, or other pattern-based instruments such as TGuitar. If you’re writing for a real drummer or guitarist, you don’t need to write out their part in full: give them the structure of the piece, a few rhythmic cues, and chord symbols, and they’ll take care of the rest. But if you want to have some realistic playback without spending a lot of time and effort writing out music that won’t ultimately be played by your human musicians, pattern-based plug-ins can save a lot of time.

Dorico 5 introduces a new scrub playback feature that makes it easy to audition the whole ensemble or a single instrument at any point and move forwards or backwards through the playback at any speed. This is invaluable for checking harmonies, finding wrong notes, and focusing on specific moments in your music.

Dorico now intelligently plays back fermatas, caesuras, and breath marks, bringing a new level of expressiveness to the performance of your music. Tweak the default playback effect for each type of hold and pause, and edit the performance of individual pauses in the Key Editor. Glissando playback is improved too, and can now use continuous pitch bend where appropriate.

Dorico Pro’s smart divisi features make it easy to write complex divided parts for section players, typically strings, but there were some awkward corner cases that weren’t handled perfectly. We’ve gone back to the drawing board and revamped divisi, leading to more stable results, especially at the transitions between unison and divisi music, and involving system items like time and key signatures.

Dorico 5 overhauls item creation from a selection: you can now create multiple items at the same time, on multiple instruments, and even at different positions on each instrument.
Pro • Elements • SE • iPad
Dorico includes definitions for over 600 pitched and unpitched instruments, but no database can capture every variation of instruments or include all cultures and historical periods. With Dorico Pro 5, you can modify or create instrument definitions to suit your needs, and easily reuse them in future projects. Freely assign instruments to existing or new families, and create your own instrument score orders.
Pro • Elements • SE • iPad
Dorico 5 includes new features to quickly edit and copy music using the mouse. You can drag selected notes to alter their pitch, or drag them to new rhythmic positions, with a live overlay to show you where the notes will be moved to. Interacting directly with the mouse makes it easier and quicker to sculpt your music, whether you do it directly in the notation or in the Key Editor.

MusicXML is the widely supported interchange format for exchanging music notation data between applications. Dorico 5 brings enriched support for importing harmonics, playing techniques, ornaments, holds and pauses, and more. MusicXML export is also greatly expanded, with page layout, music and text font information, holds and pauses, ornaments and trills, arpeggio signs, and much more included in exported files.
