Le Bâton
Le Bâton is a DMI built by Matt Skarha at the Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (IDMIL) at McGill University. The project began in 2017 where a proof-of-concept was constructed as a final project for a class in the TIMARA Department at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. The latest version was funded by a grant from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) in Montréal, QC and will be published in the New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) 2021 Conference.
This repository hosts up-to-date firmware, software, and schematics for Le Bâton. Additional information about the project can be found in the NIME 2021 paper:
