Features for Mac OS

OrchPlay is the culmination of years of development by dedicated musicians.
Our primary aim is to modernize the listening experience, the discovery of music and the sharing of musical knowledge. We wish to offer solutions for both teachers and students, as remote teaching is rapidly becoming a new reality.

The latest OrchPlay includes everything you need to get started.
It is worth mentioning that the Free version, like the Pro and Teacher versions, does not include any advertisements.

Whether you are a music enthusiast, composer, teacher or musicologist : OrchPlay has been tailored for you.
We hope those new tools can prove helpful!

A Tool for Scientific Research

Initially designed as a tool for music composition, OrchSim has been used at IRCAM as part of the MAKIMOno research grant, at the University of Oldenburg as well as at the McGill University Perception and Cognition Lab for studies on the taxonomy of perceptual grouping effects in the orchestra and on the emotional response to orchestral timbres.

A fully immersive version of OrchSim is currently in development. It utilizes a surround speaker array for the dispositions of instruments in virtual hall acoustics.

The OrchSim system is not a commercial product. It is however possible to ask us about its usage in university research and commission multichannel audio renderings of orchestral works.

About orchplay

OrchPlayMusic is developing new technologies for music education and appreciation related to orchestration practice.

Technologies developed by OrchPlayMusic include the OrchPlay software - the first multichannel audio player dedicated to the study of orchestral music with an integrated score follower, the OrchPlay Music Library of orchestral excerpts in multichannel format and OrchSim - the orchestral simulator.
‍
Our primary aim is to modernize the listening experience, the discovery of music and the sharing of musical knowledge. We wish to offer solutions for both teachers and students, as remote teaching is rapidly becoming a new reality.
