MUSC 2440 - Electronic Musicianship: Synths and MIDI

(3)

Students learn the principles and techniques of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) and its uses in music composition, recording, and arrangement. After exploring basic theory, Digital Audio Workstations are used so students develop familiarity with elements of computer MIDI technology as they relate to sequencing, sound synthesis, non-linear recording and editing, and computer mixing. Emphasis will be placed on post-production practices in scoring (notation) and the preparation of MIDI material for presentation on the World Wide Web.
