DHUN is a real-time interactive melody synthesizer. Users can generate melodies dynamically using knobs and buttons to adjust musical parameters. I wanted to create something as interactive as possible, giving the user full control to make a quick melody/song they could call their own, by just picking sounds that appeal to them.

Dhun is a Hindi word that means “Tune” or “Melody”

I wanted the face of the synth to be at an angle, better for visibility and usability, also hiding the the wiring underneath. I did not cover up the device from front and back because I liked the floating look that just the two stands gave it.
