dualo du-touch user guide Welcome to the dualo community. You are among the first-ever players of the dualo, and we congratulate you on your choice. The du-touch is still under development, as is its user guide. As such, we welcome any comments you may have on how the du-touch works, which you can submit via the page dualo.org/en/support. We regularly produce updates. So, before anything else, make sure that the sofware version of your du-touch corresponds to the version of this user guide, also available from dualo.org/en/support. The du-touch is a musical instrument, and as such no user guide teaches you how to play it. The purpose of this guide is to answer questions you may have, but it does not constitute a method. You'll be able to find du-lessons on the dualo YouTube channel and on the dualo.org/en/media page, with a series of tutorials for learning how to handle the du-touch. Have a great time getting down with your du-touch. from the du-team dualo du-touch user guide Version 01 - 0021 © Dualo, december 2014 A word from the instrument maker 3 Contents of the pack USB cable + international AC adaptator quickstart paper du-touch cotton protective cover 4 The musical instrument The du-touch is a new musical instrument with its own special way of being played. It’s a complete instrument, in the sense that it’s a controller, a synthe- sizer and a sequencer all at the same time. So, in order to understand how it works, here are five elements which, when combined, make it possible to play and share music: play: it's the du-touch as a machine which captures the gestures of the musician. (Don't look for the button, this is the du-touch itself) sound: everything involving the timbre in the broad sense, choos- ing a sound, adding effects, etc. music: in the sense of musical text, recording or playing a piece of music, tracks, or anything that might be found in music notation. settings: for adjusting the various parameters of the first three elements. connection: everything to do with links and sharing with the out- side world, other machines or other members of the community and, of course, the du-station software. 5 play The du-touch The du-touch is a controller, in other words a machine that captures the gestures of the musician to transmit them to the internal synthesizer or to a MIDI interface. It does not have speakers, so you need to connect it to an amp or a headset, or use it as a MIDI controller. 6 7 8 Connecting to a headset or an amp Plug in your headset or headphones to the headset mini-jack socket. If you are using an amp, plug your jack into the audio line-out. Make your connections before turning the equipment on. The du-touch produces bass sounds, so you're advised to use a bass or keyboard amp, or even better a sound system, rather than a guitar amp. The du-touch is stereo but works very well in mono. Take care however not to use a stereo jack on a balanced mono input. If in doubt, use a mono jack. Turning the du-touch on or off Briefly press the standby button beneath the du- touch to turn it on. The music button and screen light up after several seconds, and the instrument is ready to play. Press the same standby button to turn the du- touch off. 9 Adjusting the general volume Adjust the volume by stroking the touch strip on the front of the du-touch. The vol- ume value appears on the screen. Touch the bottom of the strip to turn the volume to zero (mute). Touch the top of the strip to return the volume to what it was before being zeroed (unmute). There are other volumes for sounds, pieces of music, loops and metronome. Positioning the instru- ment Place your du-touch on your lap and let it rest against your midriff. It stays in place without needing to be held. Your hands (including your thumbs) are over the keyboards, for maximum freedom of movement. For greater stability we recommend the use of the du-belt*, the Dualo carry strap. * available as an option from dualo. org touch strip 10 Playing notes To play notes, hit the keys with your fingertips. Simply pressing isn't effective, you need to move your fingers rapidly. The harder you hit, the louder the sound. It is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the keys, display a scale on the keyboard or display the names of the notes on the screen. . Holding a note For playing a sustained note without keeping the key depressed, play and hold the music or sound button before releasing the note or chord. To re- lease the sustained note, play the same notes again or double-click the sound button. Layout of the notes On the Dualo, as one goes away from the head, the notes jump up in thirds, both major thirds (inward) and minor thirds (outward). So two hands must co-operate to play all the notes needed: one hand must play the first (root), third, fifth and seventh, etc. notes, while the other hand plays the second, forth, sixth, eighth (octave), etc. notes. To play a chord you just need to play three successive keys. See the dualo principle, to find out more. It is possible to display the notes on the screen. 11 12 MIDI You can connect the du-touch to a hardware synthesizer via the MIDI OUT jack underneath the du-touch. You can also control virtual synthesizers via USB. The du-touch is recognized as a MIDI controller, with no drivers to be installed, whether on Mac or PC. The MIDI notes are sent as soon as the du-touch is turned on, connected and played. The MIDI notes sent are the same as those sent to the internal synthesizer. Note that the layout of the notes will differ depending on wheth- er it concerns an harmonic or a percussive instrument. To choose the output channel, hold down the music button and select one of the 7 keys at the bottom of the right keyboard. The notes played are then sent as MIDI over the chosen channel. If you save a loop, it is also output as MIDI with the channel on which it was recorded. This means that it is possible to use the du-touch as a controller-sequencer with an external synthesizer.
