Notation Switchblade is a powerful tool designed to seamlessly convert MIDI data into clean, readable music notation. It resolves common conversion challenges such as complex tuplets, various note articulations, and performance styles, ensuring accurate representation in notation software like Sibelius and Finale. This software supports a wide range of tuplets beyond simple triplets, including 5-, 7-, and 9-note groupings, making it ideal for detailed and precise score creation. Additionally, it translates MIDI-generated articulations and styles into MusicXML data, facilitating flawless import into standard notation programs while also supporting tablature formatting.

The tool analyzes MIDI sequences to detect patterns and timing information, automatically converting these into proper notation elements. It intelligently processes MIDI CC changes, program changes, note velocities, and keyswitch notes, converting them into corresponding notation metadata or removing them from the printed score when necessary. This ensures that scores remain uncluttered and musically informative without extraneous MIDI artifacts. Users can customize clefs and beaming patterns for any time signature, tailoring the output to fit specific orchestration needs and studio setups.

Notation Switchblade is designed to integrate smoothly with any sample library that uses MIDI data to control articulations, providing a flexible solution for composers who work with orchestral mockups and detailed MIDI performances. It comes with configuration options that adapt to individual workflows and playing styles, including support for dynamic markings based on velocity or volume. The software simplifies the process of turning expressive MIDI performances into professional scores, enhancing productivity and musical clarity for composers and arrangers alike.
