数字乐器的设计往往是根据第一次演奏或作曲的需要而设计的。在最初的表演之后，设计师经常面临如何围绕乐器建立更大的表演者和作曲家社区的问题。后来的音乐家可能会以与设计过程中所涉及的不同的术语来处理乐器，所以促进首次成功表演的设计决定不一定会转化为更广泛的理解。这篇文章介绍了将现有乐器带到更广泛的音乐社区的过程，包括如何使用音乐家的反馈来改进乐器的设计而不损害其身份。作为案例研究，文章介绍了磁共振器钢琴，这是一种电子增强的声学三角钢琴，使用电磁铁在琴弦中诱导振动。在使用该乐器进行初步创作和表演后，作曲家和表演者的反馈指导了对设计的改进，为一个由六名作曲家为该乐器创作曲子的合作项目奠定了基础。这些作品展示了惊人的多样化的风格和技巧，包括设计师从未考虑过的乐器技巧。该项目在两场音乐会表演中达到高潮，展示了一种新乐器如何获得最初参与的音乐家社区。
Abstract The design of a digital musical instrument is often informed by the needs of the first performance or composition. Following the initial performances, the designer frequently confronts the question of how to build a larger community of performers and composers around the instrument. Later musicians are likely to approach the instrument on different terms than those involved in the design process, so design decisions that promote a successful first performance will not necessarily translate to broader uptake. This article addresses the process of bringing an existing instrument to a wider musical community, including how musician feedback can be used to refine the instrument's design without compromising its identity. As a case study, the article presents the magnetic resonator piano, an electronically augmented acoustic grand piano that uses electromagnets to induce vibrations in the strings. After initial compositions and performances using the instrument, feedback from composers and performers guided refinements to the design, laying the groundwork for a collaborative project in which six composers wrote pieces for the instrument. The pieces exhibited a striking diversity of style and technique, including instrumental techniques never considered by the designer. The project, which culminated in two concert performances, demonstrates how a new instrument can acquire a community of musicians beyond those initially involved.
