Fender Notion: Music and Tab

Compose anywhere

Fender Notion is a free, award-winning music composition app for Android on phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and more! You’ll effortlessly compose dynamic sheet music in traditional musical notation or guitar tablature with its intuitive touch-based interface and incredibly broad editing capabilities.

With a user-friendly interface and simple interactive piano keyboard, fretboard, drum pad, and even optional Handwriting Recognition, Fender Notion makes it easy to get started composing your music. You’ll hear your music performed with the most realistic playback possible, using real audio samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

Fender Notion is natively cross-platform, meaning you can write anywhere on any device without requiring a constant Internet connection. And when you’re back online, you’ll be able to sync your music notation across multiple devices — either through your preferred cloud provider, or through the optional wireless transfer between Fender applications on any device. Start your work on one device and finish it on another. Once you are happy with your creation you can share the Notion file, or export as MIDI, MusicXML, PDF or as an audio file.

Compose, edit, and play back your sheet music performed with real piano and orchestral samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios — along with outstanding sampled guitar, bass, drums and other popular instruments. And when you’re ready for more sounds, you’ll find the extensive library of Notion Add-on Soundsets to purchase as part of the Feature Bundle. To save space, the initial app download contains just piano — you can then manage which of the bundled Soundsets to have on your device or keep in the cloud, just tap on Sound Installation.

Notion has been featured in various worldwide campaigns and has won several awards, including a prestigious music industry NAMM TEC Award for Best Smartphone/Tablet App.
