M-Audio® and Sibelius® are proud to announce the immediate availability of Sibelius 6 software, the new state-of-the-art in professional music notation. Whether you’re an educator, student, composer, arranger, copyist or musician, you’ll find an incredible number of new features and smart tools designed to make professional notation fast and easy.

Magnetic Layout cuts your scoring time down by automatically grouping, shifting and repelling the all the elements in your score. You can also enter chord symbols and guitar diagrams faster than ever from the computer keyboard or MIDI controller—accessing a library of 600+ chord types or creating your own. The new customizable Keyboard and Fretboard windows serve for both input and playback display. You also get a new instant playback engine designed with help from the Digidesign Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group—plus improved sound libraries from Garritan, Tapspace, M-Audio and A.I.R.

Sibelius 6 really puts the human aspect into notation. Live Tempo lets you conduct playback of your music by tapping your footpedal, MIDI controller or computer keyboard. Using the included AudioScore Lite from Neuratron, you can use a microphone to input parts by singing or playing acoustic instruments. You can even publish, share and sell your scores on SibeliusMusic.com.

Of course, this amazing software is compatible with M-Audio digital pianos such as our DCP and ProKeys Sono lines, as well as our MIDI controller lines: Oxygen®, Axiom® and Axiom Pro. ReWire functionality can sync Sibelius 6 with Pro Tools® M-Powered™ and other DAWs for playback and recording.
