INNOVATION FOR EVERYONE

Born out of scientific research on accessibility for people with disabilities, ODLA 2.0 now offers all musicians the opportunity to enhance their creativity and efficiency in a variety of settings (from schools to live music performances).

EMBOSSED STAFF

The traditional paper musical staff becomes three-dimensional and pressure-sensitive.

MUSICAL NOTATION 4.0

Technology and Tradition in the service of creativity, in line with the needs of musicians and the modern digital music school.

SOFTWARE

Compatible with Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and Mac with Apple Silicon processor (macOS Sequoia and later), ODLA 2.0 interfaces with your computer through two software programs: ODLA Custom and ODLA Plugin.

ODLA Custom lets you create endless configurations for all the programs you use, so you can use them quickly and efficiently. Including MIDI support, it’s the ideal software for all musicians who want to use the device for a wide range of applications, including both musical and non-musical programs.

ODLA Plugin allows you to interface with Dorico (version 4 and later) and MuseScore without using MIDI, but rather through software that acts as a direct bridge between the ODLA source code and that of the two music notation programs. ODLA Plugin is also the recommended software for using the special version of the ODLA VOICE OVER device, which is accessible to people with Visual Impairments and Learning Disabilities.

The device is also available in a special version for people with visual impairments and learning disabilities, featuring additional text-to-speech functions to help users navigate the digital sheet music.

03

To make ODLA easier to use, the layout of the navigation keys mirrors that of traditional QWERTY keyboards.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

Antonino C.
Pianist, teacher, certified instructor in computer access for the visually impaired

“I think ODLA is a truly innovative tool that was sorely needed, with great potential in the field of education. Studying
by literally putting your hands on the musical staff is a path that has yet to be fully explored, one that could yield surprising results.”

Edoardo Amirante
Violinist, teacher

“As soon as I heard about it, it immediately piqued my curiosity… but when I received it, I was blown away. An amazing device—a brilliant idea. The more I use it, the faster I get—writing music has become a breeze. It’s also perfectly suited for educational purposes, as a teaching tool for conservatories and music high schools.”

Fabio Rizzo
Blind musician

“She is the inspiration behind so many of my musical evenings, in which emotion, passion, memory, logic, and technique—all brought to life by imagination—intertwine and merge, creating interesting soundscapes here and there.”

Barbara B.
Singer, music therapist

“Odla is a super intuitive keyboard. Not only is it fast, but it’s also beautiful!”

Giulio Pieraccini
Blind pianist

“ODLA has been a real surprise—it’s innovative and incredibly convenient. I type much faster, and the more I use it, the more useful I find it for my transcriptions and my harmony and music theory exercises.”

AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR EVERYONE

In addition to appealing to both professional and amateur composers, it represents a step forward for all music teachers and students of all ages. ODLA is the perfect tool for MUSIC EDUCATION that keeps pace with the times, in line with best practices in modern digital education.
