Music 1310: Theory Fundamentals

Assignment 7

Read the material linked below, then do the teoría exercises.

...also bring your mini-keyboard to class Thursday, along with laptop and earphones or earbuds

The Nektar SE25 is a controller, meaning it does not produce its own sounds. It needs to be plugged into a sound-producing device such as a laptop. Often it will plug and play with music apps you may already have on your computer, such as GarageBand or Cakewalk, with little or no futzing on your part. It also comes bundled with sound software you can install. If you’re not able to get the keyboard to trigger sounds, we will work together to troubleshoot.
