Towards the T-Tree 2.0: Lessons Learned From Performance With a Novel DMI and Instrument Hub

In this paper, the authors describe working with and on the T-Tree, a device that integrates multiple instances of a gestural controller known as the T-Stick. The T-Tree is used in two public performance contexts; the results of those performances are summarized, potential improvements to the design of the hardware and software are introduced, and issues are identified. Improvements in the T-Tree from the first version are also discussed. Finally, the authors present future design improvements for the T-Tree 2.0.
