About Ovo Melody Fungsi Utama Melodi

Teks Buku: Ovo Melody ialah mainan muzik yang direka untuk pemain pelbagai peringkat umur dengan pengetahuan muzik yang sedikit atau tiada langsung. Nod diletakkan pada landasan, dan sebiji bola yang dilengkapi penderia magnet bergolek menuruni landasan sambil membaca kekuatan magnet setiap nod untuk mengenal pasti skala muzik. Data tersebut kemudiannya dihantar melalui Bluetooth ke stesen pangkalan, yang akan memainkan bunyi berkenaan. Pangkalan ini menyimpan pelbagai jenis alat muzik, jadi terompet, piano atau gitar boleh dipilih dengan menukar bahagian bawahnya. Notasi Braille ditandakan pada setiap komponen dan kad arahan, membolehkan orang kurang upaya penglihatan turut dapat mencipta semula melodi yang dikenali atau mengarang melodi baharu.
