In this paper, we present an ongoing research project related to popularizing the mindset of building new digital musical instruments. We developed a physical kit and software intended to provide beginner users with the first grasp on the development process of a digital musical instrument. We expect that, by using the kit and the software, the users could experiment in a short period the various steps in developing a DMI such as physical structure, electronics, programming, mapping, and sound design. Our approach to popularizing the DMI development process is twofold: reducing the cognitive load for beginners by encapsulating technical details and lowering the costs of the kit by using simple components and open-source software. In the end, we expect that by increasing the interest of beginners in the building process of digital musical instruments, we could make the community of new interfaces for musical expression stronger.

Batebit控制器：普及数字乐器的开发过程

在本文中，我们提出了一个正在进行的研究项目，该项目与普及构建新型数字乐器的思维方式有关。我们开发了一套物理套件和软件，旨在为初学者提供对数字乐器开发过程的第一手了解。我们希望，通过使用该套件和软件，用户可以在短时间内试验开发DMI的各个步骤，例如物理结构，电子，编程，映射和声音设计。我们推广DMI开发过程的方法有两个方面：通过封装技术细节来减少初学者的认知负担，并通过使用简单的组件和开源软件来降低工具包的成本。到底，
