Deep, immersive sound with Space and Stage templates
Unleash the full potential of your music with Dorico 5's innovative Space and Stage templates. These templates, combined with the powerful effects processors in Dorico, allow you to sculpt and refine your sound effortlessly. The intuitive visual interface enables you to move instruments on the virtual stage, while Dorico automatically adjusts pan and reverb settings. Experiment with different room configurations, reorder and rename outputs, and create send buses to achieve the perfect sound for your composition.
Bring your music to life - Pitch Contour Emphasis
Experience more expressive playback than ever before with Dorico 5's pitch contour emphasis. By reading notations like a human musician, Dorico automatically switches between various articulations and playing techniques based on your chosen sample library. Sophisticated algorithms breathe life into your phrases, mimicking the expressiveness of human musicians. This groundbreaking feature eliminates the need for advanced keyboard skills, making it easier for composers and producers to create realistic and expressive music.
Instrument editor
Steinberg Dorico Pro 5 offers an unparalleled level of customization with its instrument editor feature. While it comes equipped with over 600 definitions for pitched and unpitched instruments, no database can capture every variation of instruments or incorporate all cultures and historical periods. With Dorico Pro 5, users have the ability to modify or create instrument definitions to meet their specific requirements and preferences. This functionality allows composers and musicians to tailor their music in a way that was previously not possible.
By creating reusable instrument definitions, users can save time and effort when working on future projects. Dorico Pro 5's instrument editor feature is a powerful tool that adds endless possibilities for the creation of unique and authentic compositions.
Create instant rhythms with Groove Agent SE
Dorico 5 now includes Groove Agent SE, Steinberg's entry-level creative drum software. With a high-quality drum kit playback device for your Dorico projects, Groove Agent SE offers over 400 MIDI drum patterns performed by top studio drummers and mixed by Steinberg's expert engineers. The Kit, an acoustic drum kit recorded at Berlin's Teldex Studios, features two mic positions and a classic reverb chamber. Trigger patterns using the new MIDI trigger region or drag and drop them onto the track overview in Play mode to create unique drum tracks with ease.
Realistic playback and articulations
Save time and effort with Dorico 5's new MIDI trigger regions, designed for composers and producers who want realistic playback without fully notating their music. These trigger regions play a note or chord that isn't in the score for a specified duration, making it particularly useful for triggering MIDI patterns in plug-ins like Groove Agent SE or other pattern-based instruments such as TGuitar. Provide your musicians with the structure, rhythmic cues, and chord symbols they need, then let pattern-based plug-ins handle the rest for an efficient and realistic playback experience.
Scrub playback - audition and edit music at the same time
Dorico 5 introduces scrub playback, a feature that allows you to audition your entire ensemble or individual instruments at any point, moving forward or backward through the playback at any speed. This invaluable tool helps you check harmonies, identify incorrect notes, and focus on specific moments in your music. Additionally, Dorico 5 offers live editing features for quick and easy music editing and copying using your mouse. Drag selected notes to change their pitch or move them to new rhythmic positions, with a live overlay to show where the notes will be placed. This direct mouse interaction streamlines the music editing process, whether in notation or Key Editor.
Enhanced MusicXML import and export support
MusicXML, the widely supported interchange format for exchanging music notation data between applications, receives enriched support in Dorico 5. Improved import capabilities for harmonics, playing techniques, ornaments, holds, and pauses make transferring notation data more efficient than ever. The export function is also enhanced, now including page layout information and basic support for encoding information about the music and text fonts used in a project. With these improvements, Dorico 5 makes importing and exporting music notation data a seamless and straightforward process.
