    The Yamaha DX7 is considered one of the most legendary synthesizers. It became widely known during the 80s both for its original approach in the use of FM synthesis and for its difficulty in programming the unlimited options it offered. The purpose of this thesis is to improve the usability and interactive possibilities of the original DX7 by using a Tangible Tabletop Interface (ΤΤΙ) which provides the opportunity to interact with the synthesis engine through a 2- dimensional space. For this purpose, we have developed a suitable interactive surface for driving an algorithm that emulates the operation of the DX7. The theoretical part of the thesis includes a review of the DX7 focusing on its usability, but also a review of Tangible Tabletop Interfaces with a focus on their affordance, i.e. the potential audio interaction possibilities they offer to a user. What follows is a presentation of how the interactive surface was constructed in hardware, as well as a detailed description of the software that was developed for sound synthesis, parameter mapping and graphical feedback. The thesis concludes with a short first-person qualitative evaluation in terms of usability and some thoughts on future work.
