Pompeu Fabra University ( ; -cauniβərsiˈtat pumˈpɛw ˈfaβɾəIPA) is a university in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is widely considered to be one of the best universities in Spain and in Europe, and was ranked 1st in scientific productivity in Spain in 2009. Founded in 1990, it is named after the Catalan philologist Pompeu Fabra. Currently (2009-10), the University offers 19 undergraduate degrees, 37 official masters, and 9 PhD programs, as well as around 60 UPF masters.

The UPF is located in three separate campuses, each associated to its own area of knowledge:

* Social Sciences and Humanities (Ciutadella Campus);

* Sciences and information technologies and communication (Communication Campus - Poblenou)

* Biomedical sciences (Mar Campus).

Teaching is organized in seven faculties or schools (Humanities, Health and Life Sciences, Economics, Political and Social Sciences, Communication, Law, Translation and Interpretation), one polytechnic school. Research is organized in eight departments (Economics and Business, Law, Political and Social Sciences, Humanities, Experimental Sciences and Health, Information Technologies and Communication, Communication, Translation, Language Sciences) and four university research institutes (University Institute of Culture, Jaume Vicens i Vives University Institute of History, University Institute for Applied Linguistics, Audiovisual University Institute). The University also has four affiliated centers (International Trade Business School -ESCI-, Elisava School of Design, University School of Business Studies of the Maresme -EUM-), Mar University School of Nursing -EUIM-, two interuniversity postgraduate platforms (Barcelona Institute for International Studies -IBEI- and Barcelona Graduate School of Economics -Barcelona GSE-), as well as its own Continuing Education Institute (IDEC) complementing its range of educational facilities.

La Reactable est en réalité une interface qui permet de modifier les composantes d'un synthétiseur modulaire. Il se présente sous la forme d'une surface ronde ayant au centre un point (la sortie du son), sur laquelle on dispose des blocs représentant chacun des éléments du synthétiseur. Les éléments sont reliés entre eux virtuellement comme dans un circuit électrique.
