I imagine that making it visitor-ready would be a huge project, but
Apple's Garage Band software is incredible. And they have a track
record of working with educational institutions--maybe they have a
stripped down version that would work for you.

>Hello everyone!
>One of our upcoming projects is creating a sound booth area where people
>can experiment with sounds.  Specifically, we wanted to create an area
>where people could either utilize a keyboard or record their voice.  Then
>play with the speed of those sounds and maybe even alter the wave forms.
>  As such, I am looking for what people consider the most successful
>exhibits in this vein.
>More specific questions are:
>Does anyone know of software packages that do this in a user friendly way,
>or that can be modified with overlays to do this?  any items I should
>avoid?
>Recommendations for keyboards to use in conjunction with this?
>
>Thank you in advance for your ideas!
