Gestural controllers allow musicians to use computers as digital musical instruments (DMI). The body gestures of the performer are captured by sensors on the controller and sent as digital control data to a audio synthesis software.Until now DMIs have been largely dependent on the computing power of desktop and laptop computers but the most recent generations of single-board computers have enough processing power to satisfy the requirements of many DMIs. The advantage of those single-board computers over traditional computers is that they are much smaller in size. They can be easily embedded inside the body of the controller and used to create fully integrated and self-contained DMIs.This dissertation examines various applications of embedded computing technologies in DMIs. First we describe the history of DMIs and then expose some of the limitations associated with the use of general-purpose computers. Next we present a review on different technologies applicable to embedded DMIs and a state of the art of instruments and frameworks. Finally, we propose new technical and conceptual avenues, materialized through the Prynth framework, developed by the author and a team of collaborators during the course of this research.The Prynth framework allows instrument makers to have a solid starting point for the development of their own embedded DMIs. It is composed of several interoperating hardware and software components, publicly available as open-source technologies and continuously updated to include new features. Prynth has been lauded in both academic and artistic circles, resulting in an active and engaged user community.This community uses our framework to build many different DMIs that serve idiosyncratic goals and a panoply of musical contexts. The author himself is responsible for the design and construction of "The Mitt", an instrument that was selected for the finals of the 2017 edition of the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, the most prestigious event of its kind.We believe that embedded computing will play a fundamental role in the future of DMIs. By surpassing the reliance on traditional computers, embedded DMIs have the possibility of becoming integrated and robust interactive devices, with increased usability and performance. All of these represent key factors to the evolution and growth of these musical instruments.

520 $a Les controleurs gestuels permettent aux musiciens d'utiliser les ordinateurs en tant qu'instruments numeriques de musique (INM). Les mouvements corporels de l'artiste sont enregistres par des capteurs sur le controleur, puis envoyes sous forme de donnees de controle numeriques a un logiciel de synthese audio. Jusqu'ici, les INM etaient largement dependants de la puissance de calcul des ordinateurs portables et des unites centrales, mais les generations les plus recentes d'ordinateurs a carte unique disposent d'une puissance de calcul suffisante pour satisfaire aux exigences de nombreux INM. L'avantage de ces ordinateurs a carte unique sur les ordinateurs traditionnels reside dans leur taille qui s'avere bien moindre. Ils peuvent facilement etre embarques dans le corps du controleur et etre utilises pour creer des INM independants et totalement integres.Cette dissertation examine les diverses applications des systemes d'informatique embarquee aux INM. Dans un premier lieu, nous ferons un rappel de l'histoire des INM, puis nous exposerons certaines des limites associees a l'utilisation d'ordinateurs generiques. Par la suite nous presenterons une analyse des differentes technologies applicables aux INM embarques et l'etat de l'art des systemes et instruments. Enfin, nous proposerons de nouvelles voies conceptuelles et techniques, materialisees par le systeme Prynth, developpe par l'auteur ainsi qu'une equipe de collaborateurs dans le cadre de cette recherche.Le systeme Prynth permet aux fabricants d'instruments de disposer d'une solide base de developpement pour la creation de leurs INM embarques. Il est compose de nombreux elements materiels et logiciels en interoperation, de technologies disponibles en open-source et continuellement mises a jour pour integrer de nouvelles fonctionnalites. Prynth a ete acclame a la fois dans les cercles academiques et artistiques, avec pour consequence une communaute tres active et motivee.Cette communaute utilise notre systeme pour construire de nombreux INM qui ont un objectif idiosyncratique et une large panoplie de contextes musicaux. L'auteur lui-meme est responsable de la conception et de la construction de l'instrument nomme « The Mitt » qui a ete selectionne pour la finale de l'edition 2017 de la Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, l'evenement le plus prestigieux de sa categorie au monde.Nous croyons que l'informatique embarquee jouera un role fondamental dans le futur des INM. En surpassant la dependance aux ordinateurs classiques, les INM embarques ont la possibilite de devenir des appareils interactifs solides et integres, disposant d'une utilisabilite et de performances ameliorees. Tous ces criteres representant des elements-cles de l'evolution et de la croissance de ces instruments de musique.
