Microsoft is a technology company founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975, headquartered in Redmond, Washington. While not a dedicated music equipment manufacturer, the company produces hardware and software widely used in music production. The Windows operating system serves as the platform for major digital audio workstations including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Bitwig Studio, and Reason, making it one of the two dominant OS ecosystems for music creators.
Microsoft's Surface line of hardware has gained traction among musicians and producers. The Surface Pro tablet, with its touchscreen and pen input, is used for portable music production and live performance, particularly with touch-native DAWs like Bitwig. The Surface Laptop Studio, with its convertible form factor and dedicated GPU options, targets creative professionals including music producers. The Surface Studio desktop, featuring a large 28-inch tilting touchscreen display, offers an unconventional workstation format that appeals to producers and composers who benefit from touch-based workflows. The Surface Dial, a physical input device, provides hands-on rotary control that can be mapped to audio parameters.
