PROJECT TITLE :

Digital Signal Processing Gets Big Play in Music [Special Reports]

ABSTRACT:

If you happen to catch a performance of the two violinists, cellist, and viola player in the Borromeo String Quartet, you will find that those are not music stands you're seeing in front of the Borromeo String Quartet. They're MacBooks, allowing them to page back and forth using a foot pedal attached to a universal serial bus (USB) port and read the music from a full score (all four lines of the quartet together) rather than just their individual parts.
