QuickScore Elite Level II is Sion Software's premier software for composing music - an integrated 48-track scoring and sequencing program.

Start faster right off the top with one of QuickScore's score templates. You've got Piano, Piano and Solo Instrument, Organ, Choir, Band, Orchestra and a bunch more. And if you need something you don't see, just set it up yourself and it's there for you to use from then on.

You can enter music from MIDI files, using the mouse or playing music using a MIDI keyboard, guitar controller or other input device. Add .WAV digital audio files and enter volume, pan or any other controllers in real-time using the built-in mixer.

Edit your music using the Score, Piano Roll, Controller, Event List or Song Editors - all included and fully integrated.

New or improved features in QuickScore Elite Level II Version 11 include:

• Audio Editor window: The Audio Editor can be used to edit audio data such as vocals or sound effects. As many tracks as can fit on the screen can be seen at once. At the left are the track names and each track’s audio data are shown to the right of the names.
• QuickAudio: QuickAudio lets you edit, play and record digital audio as well as convert between various popular audio formats. It has standard audio editing features, audio spectrum analysis as well as support for up to 24 VST plugins.
• VST Plugins: VST plugins extend QuickScore's functionality in many different ways. You can load new virtual software synthesizers, drum kits and orchestral sounds not available on your sound card, and manipulate them in unbelievable ways. You can edit and morph your audio, and generate new MIDI or audio material to go with music you've already entered.
• Audio to Notation: Extract notes from audio data. The notes are inserted into the track containing the audio data and can be displayed and edited using any of QuckScore’s note editors.
• Easier drum tracks: In the Piano Roll Editor simply click on the Show Drum Names button to show the drum name associated with each pitch.  Click on it again to hide the drum names.
