The IDeATe Sonic Arts program includes several related courses at Carnegie Mellon. These do include some overlapping topics with regard to the relation of computing and music, but to my knowledge do not directly address digital control of physical instruments. Most of these are offered by the Music Department interdisciplinary and electronic music programs.
