Innovative and intuitive synthesizer

The design of the DATO Duo is entirely focused on tactile interaction. Its simple layout offers plenty of controls for you to get really involved with. With controls that are immediately apparent and playfully labelled - a train tunnel for the delay, a mouse and an elephant for amplification, a slide for glide.

With two separate sides handling two different sound creation disciplines, the Duo features both a sound creation side and a sequencing side. With tactile knobs, buttons, and faders, kids of all ages can immediately grasp the fun and creativity of sound synthesis.

Working together

One side of the Duo is a synthesizer, the other is a sequencer. Giving half of the controls over to a partner is a great way to create and collaborate. This unique form of performance requires a slight reliance on each other's creative outlook. However, differences in what you both think sounds good can result in very unique forms of music.

The synthesizer features a wide range of timbres, from gritty sounds to soft tones, a true mono beast. Control elements like the wave shape, the release time, and the frequency. Play with effects like bitcrusher or accenting. You can even add simple beats with the pads on the front.

The eight note sequencer gives you enough scope to create amazing melodies. Compose these melodies with the easy to use and tactile keys on the front. Use the randomise function to create new sequences instantly. And speed and pitch up and down.

A growing system

A system that grows with you. The DATO Duo is built to expand with you as your skills improve. Meaning that you can introduce in new elements like external effects, drum pads, and even your modular synthesizer set up.

Throw a distortion pedal into the mix to add an abrasive twist. Add a drum machine to give you a pounding beat. With MIDI in and out, SYNC in and out, and a 3.5mm headphone/line out; there's nothing the Duo can't handle.
