In reply to Gerhard Torges.

Congratulations on releasing Dorico! I am truly happy that there is a new scoring software out that brings it closer to dreams of any composer who deals with both worlds - acoustic and electronic. It seems that Dorico is getting closer to achieve a superior notation software and yet, it keeps the cries of many unheard... We want be able to use a quality scoring not only with VST's but also with external synths and synchronize it with drum-machines, modular equipment etc. I know there is an idea that electronic music doesn't require a notation, but to me (and many others) without a notation one cannot move into a world of more complex musical "structures". Yes, there is Cubase, Logic etc.. but their scoring capabilities are limiting and writing music in notation in Cubase is just so tedious - compare to Sibelius etc. My solution was to run tracks from Sibelius via IAC virtual ports into other DAW.. but the connection is hard to set-up (in Sibelius)and it is rather very fragile while there are so many components to have it working smoothly (now again, it doesn't work anymore).
Thus it is leaving us to go back to an old approach - to design a structure first, import it to a different DAW to "orchestrate/arrange&incorporate with the machines". But Why we do not have a complete system that does it all? I beg you, please help us, so we can make a music for the new generations who are becoming forever stuck in four-bar 4/4 loops. A simplest solution for now would be to introduce Midi clock Send (or receive), so we can synch the other tools with DORICO. Another would be a possibility to route Dorico's tracks (midi&audio) to external midi ports, audio and virtual ports. This would work just fine and I guarantee that if this solution would be stable (for example to interconnect Dorico with Cubase or even Ableton Live) - it would create such a revolution!
I think that unless we incorporate standard music tools more fittingly into an area of electronics and the machines, we will only further nourish this illusion of classical & academic music superiority versus modern "decadent" music. However the bank accounts of main-stream music producers show the opposite. I do believe though that classical music forms, the art of writing music, music story-telling and its vast beauties should be preserved and to built upon. I think it is our duty to step up with the game and to re-link the music of presence with the past otherwise the music's history will eventually vanish into the oblivion. And so will do an attention span of our kids.
