A Dualo instrument designed to compose faster, differently
The Dualo Du-Touch S follows the Dualo philosophy: simplifying access to harmony through an innovative keyboard where note relationships are more readable. The result: chord and scale shapes become stable landmarks, and inspiration takes precedence over technique. Within the range, it positions itself as an all-in-one tool focused on immediate creation, combining synthesizer, performance, and portable production.
For whom and in what uses the Du-Touch S makes a difference
The Du-Touch S is aimed both at beginners who want to enjoy themselves quickly and at experienced musicians seeking a fast workflow for demos, live looping, and composition. It is particularly relevant for electro, pop, synthwave, hip-hop, ambient, or beatbox, both in the studio and on the go. Its approach "choose a sound, record, loop, stack" encourages experimentation and building tracks layer by layer, with effects playable live.

I started by buying a Joué Play, but their promise of an easy instrument to start playing music didn't last very long. I started with du-touch and it worked right away! As a music beginner, I like the fact that I don't have to plug anything in, it's all in, I plug in my headphones and play. The dualo keyboard is a great invention, I would have liked my children to learn music with it. I have fun composing my own music, with the feeling of really playing, not putting things together like in Garage Band. Long live the French of Dualo!

A real compo software in an instrument to take everywhere! You very quickly find yourself creating lots of songs without getting too busy. Big strength for human support (community and support), and the du-game is really fun to learn. We never stop going further and discovering new things!

The device is very nice, the du-game game is really interesting even if there are a lot of bugs. On the other hand, the quality level is really not great. The front wings don't hold up, I'm still trying to rewind them. This instrument does not inspire solidity at all.

It was so much like the instrument of my dreams, with the easy handling, the promises of being able to make music without understanding.
I wanted to believe it. In the end... nothing to see! I was charmed by the Tedx from the guy who loves to present himself as a great inventor. So the invention that will revolutionize music...
It's a good mix of Senza, accordion and chromatome. Built by an unscrupulous guy who openly says that he took everything from open source... a small layer of buggy and proprietary firmware, bogus patents on a concept that predates the birth of The Gentleman.
A moribund community of people who are doing everything they can to avoid looking their disappointment in the face...
Two years later, I'm taking stock: I bought a dualo like you get ripped off by a huckster at the Foire du Trône!
The only thing that's worth it is the sound! The sound banks are incredible, the sound quality is in my opinion unparalleled... even on synthesizers that are 10 times more expensive.
In the end: if you are an experienced musician, who is not afraid of computer crashes, there are ways to get an incredible sound out of it.
The others, especially beginners in music, singers looking for an instrument to accompany themselves, to do covers... go your way. The danger when you are a beginner in music is to let yourself be charmed by a hopping device that promises to be super intuitive... to buy it, to not be able to get anything out of it, and to conclude “I'm the one who sucks, even with the super 'intuitive instrument at the cutting edge of technology, I can't make music”
Don't let ANYONE convince you that you're not a musician. Especially not a poorly finished accordion erzats!Automatically translated

Serious setback for several reasons:
- the finished product looks like DIY (some parts are not properly engaged).
- When I play the du-game, it starts to bug and I have to restart it.
Otherwise the concept of du-games to learn is not bad but seems to be under development.Automatically translated
