Microcomputing Laboratory

The music Microcomputing Laboratory (MICROLAB, housed in Room 116 in the Amy E. du Pont Music Building) is a high-technology computing facility for exploring and making music. Each of the 11 Windows stations and MacIntosh station are fully equipped with the latest professional music sequencing and notation software. Each station includes an Ensoniq MIDI keyboard, at least one alternate sound module per station, and TASCAM four-track portastudio units.

Several stations include alternate keyboards, high-end MIDI tone generators, SMPTE time-code interfaces and digital effects processors. All stations print to a networked Apple Laserwriter Pro.

Music Technology courses are also taught in the MICROLAB. Windows or MacIntosh screen presentations are displayed on a large screen monitor. Since each station has email access and a Web browser, the MICROLAB is always bustling with activity.
