Wallander Instruments has released an update today to NotePerformer. This is the first update to NotePerformer since May 2025, when NotePerformer discontinued support for its NotePerformer Playback Engine (NPPE) and third-party VST3 instruments.

NotePerformer 5.1.0 features several bug fixes and incremental improvements to NotePerformer’s core sounds. NotePerformer is a user-friendly solution for realistic-sounding playback of Dorico, Sibelius, or Finale projects, and today’s update affects the product both as it functions across all three applications.

Current registered users can obtain the update by requesting a new download link at the NotePerformer web site, which will provide the user with NotePerformer 5.1.0.

We’re very pleased to bring you this episode, and more to come in the future, thanks to our friends at Twenty Thousand Hertz, a podcast that tells the stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds.

People with perfect or “absolute” pitch hear every single sound as precise musical notes. Is this extraordinary talent a blessing or a curse? In this episode, our friends at Twenty Thousand Hertz dive into the neuroscience, pluses, and pitfalls of absolute pitch. Featuring neuroscientist Daniel Levitin and Grammy-winning musician Jacob Collier.
