Julien Bayle (born 22 February 1976 in France) is a French electronic musician and music software trainer.[1]

His work explores software including Cubase 1.0 and Generator (the precursor to Reaktor). His first live solo shows took place in early 2003.[2] He designed and built the protodeck midi controller,[3] (based on the open-source hardware framework MIDIbox) in 2008.[3]
He founded and leads his own studio, Julien Bayle Studio. He provides Ableton Live Suite, Max for Live, and Max/MSP advanced training courses, and also leads workshops in Europe in art and design schools. He is an Ableton Certified Trainer.[4]
