Flo: Intuitive Music Device Design

Xu, Yixiao LU (2022) In Diploma work IDEM05 20221
Industrial Design
Abstract
FLO is designed and dedicated to creating
intuitive music playing with tactile and sensory experience for advanced music producers as well as beginners, even with minimal skills.

The inspiration is from the traditional Chinese instrument, the Guzheng. Thinking in a counterfactual way, as most of the synthesizers in the market present a western symbol as the piano keys, I investigated whether there were new ways that might yield interesting results, where the synthesizer would have a different logic of operation as well as the appearance of design.

This project aims to hopefully help beginners boost confidence in music creation, at the same time for music pros to overcome bottlenecks in music creation with possible playability.
