Description
The Karlax is an instrument for the digital arts created by Da Fact in Paris, France. Since this instrument lies within the realm of Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs), parallels between this instrument and previous DMIs created in Montreal and abroad will be discussed. This workshop will begin with talks focusing on performance and compositional approaches for the Karlax and other DMIs followed by talks based on technical interests in designing and implementing DMIs.
