About Dudo 모듈형 신서사이저 장난감
Dudo는 4세부터 12세까지의 어린이를 위해 디자인된 모듈형 신서사이저 장난감입니다. Dudo는 소리와 빛 효과를 결합하여 놀이를 통해 기초 음악 이론을 배울 수 있도록 합니다. 시퀀싱, 파형 변화, 필터링, 리듬, 증폭을 담당하는 다섯 개의 간단한 모듈과 아홉 가지 연결 방식을 통해 기능을 확장하고 여러 명이 함께 사용할 수 있습니다. 아이가 성장함에 따라 난이도를 높일 수 있습니다. 드럼 모듈을 두드리면 정전용량 감지 방식으로 드럼 소리가 재생됩니다. 무독성 플라스틱을 사용했으며, 크기는 어린이의 인체공학적 특성에 맞추어 설계되었습니다.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Dudo is an auditory and visual synthesizer designed for children aged 4-12 to learn music through playful, hands-on experience. Its difficulty level can increase with age, while its different connection methods allow for expanded functions and multiplayer mode. Dudo teaches basic music theory and synthesizer knowledge to stimulate children's creativity and imagination.

- Production Technology
- In terms of product size, it refers to children's human factors engineering and adjusts it to a size suitable for children's operation.
In the way of using drums, we choose to use capacitive sensing to trigger drum sounds through beating.
In terms of material, non-toxic plastic suitable for children is used. - Design Challenge
- During the design process, we not only spent a lot of effort on making the function, language, and music theory of Eurorack Modular Synthesizer into a range that children can understand but also thought about making it easier for children to operate and more tempting to them. As age grows, the difficulty level can be increased. The purpose is to make this combination of synthesizer toys accompany the children in their growth, so that synthesized music can be widely used for children to operate and play.
- Research
- This project conducts field research to examine children's exposure to music and proposes a new interactive model centered on "playing" to create a new way of musical enlightenment for children. We combines music learning experiences with today's children's needs for sound and light effects to create musical toy products that are novel and sensory-stimulating.We simplified the module interface into five basic modules. The project has a MIDI output for more advanced editing in the future.
- Inspiration
- Synthetic music has flourished in recent years. We found out that there is a lack of entry-level synthetic music tools on the market, so we want to design a toy that can be used as an enlightenment for children to synthesize music and can accompany children to grow up.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2022 and is still ongoing today. It is expected to be exhibited at the Young Designers' Exhibition in Taipei, Taiwan in May 2023.
- Operation Flow
- We have taken advantage of the free assembly of Eurorack Modular Synthesizer, allowing children to connect 9 different connection methods.
First, connect sequencer to hub and then to amplifier to create a melody with the sine wave.
Secondly, connect wave change and filter to switch between three different wave timbres and adjust the frequency of the cutoff to create your exclusive timbre.
Thirdly, connect drum to add rhythm to the melody that had been created.
Finally, you can choose to connect to MIDI output port of hub and input into the music editing software, so that the music you create can be upgraded and more advanced.
