About Dudo د ماډولر سنتیسایزر لوبتکه

ډوډو یو ماډولر سنتیسایزر لوبتکه ده چې د څلورو څخه تر دولسو کلونو پورې ماشومانو لپاره ډیزاین شوې ده. ډوډو د غږ او رڼا اغیزې سره یوځای کوي ترڅو د موسیقۍ بنسټیزه تیوري د لوبې له لارې زده شي. پنځه ساده ماډولونه تسلسل، د څپې بدلون، فلټر کول، ریتم او غږ لوړول پوښي، او نهه د نښلولو طریقې پراخې کړنې او د ډیرو لوبغاړو کارونه ممکنوي. د ستونزې کچه د ماشومانو د لویېدو سره لوړېدلی شي. کله چې د ډرم ماډول ته ټک ورکړل شي، خازن حس کول د ډرم غږونه فعالوي. غیر زهرجن پلاستیک کارول شوی دی، او اندازه یې د ماشومانو له ارګونومیک اصولو سره سمون لري.

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.
