Overture 4 has leaped past the competition and is the only notation program with full VST hosting, support for sample libraries, and on direct score MIDI editing.

Listen to some music created in Overture 4.

Now Let's Take a Quick Look at What You Can Do.

Full VST Integration...(Not completed in the current Mac Version )

Open the VST Instruments rack and load any VST instrument or effect. You can easily add controller and key switches using the pre-define libraries for most of the popular sample libraries.

Intuitive Score Editing like No Others...

Overture allows you to edit your score in an intuitive manner, unlike other programs, so there is no need to hunt through levels of dialogs or search the manual, just to make a simple change.  Most commands can be done with one simple command directly on the score.

Edit MIDI Directly on the Score

Now that your VST Instruments have been loaded and your score has been entered, its time to do the final tweaking to get that great sound. Switch to MIDI data mode and your MIDI data is displayed above each track ready to be edited. Easily draw in or erase existing data right before your eyes with the score underneath.

Finally create a CD...(Not completed in the current Mac Version )

Now that you have high quality sound scores, you can save them as a wave file to be burned onto a CD or sent to a friend.

Good luck and hope to see you at the Grammy Awards with your award winning score.
