Modular Synth Studio
The Modular Synth Studio (MSS) is a gathering point for music students interested in creating unique sounds using modular synthesis. It is home to the music school's rare "Black Serge" analog modular synthesizer as well as a 12-unit hybrid Blacet/Eurorack modular synthesizer, an Oberheim Synthesizer Expander Module, a Moog Sub 37 analog synthesizer, and a rare Rob Hordijk Blippo Box. Students can record interesting sounds from the synthesizers through a Lynx Aurora audio interface into a number of different DAWs.
For video editing and processing the studio is home to a custom-built 'Hackintosh' computer running the latest versions of Adobe Creative Suite, Max/MSP/Jitter, Isadora, Mad Mapper and other video software programs. The editing suite has four HDMI video monitors which can double as video displays for working with Raspberry Pi computers. It also has a quad sound setup for working in surround sound.
