Connect the du-touch to a sound device<\/strong>\u00a0fitted with a standard 3.5mm mini-jack socket: wired headphones, portable speaker\u2026 or any other device fitted with an AUX socket (Bluetooth incompatible).<\/p>\n

Turn it on<\/strong> by briefly clicking the on\/off button, then wait a few seconds while the instrument initialises (indicated by the lighting up of the central button and the dualo logo on the screen). When the logo disappears, you should then hear a \u201cpop<\/em>\u201d emanating from your sound device: the du-touch is ready to be played.<\/p>\n

Note: If the instrument does not turn on or the battery level at the bottom right of the screen is red and almost empty, connect it to an electrical outlet with the charger provided. The instrument can recharge while in use.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][image_with_animation image_url=”7214″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626945806568{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

The interface of the instrument is structured around three elementary functions:
\n\u2013 Choosing sounds <\/strong>(sound button on the left of the screen)<\/strong> and playing them freely
\n\u2013 Making music<\/strong>\u00a0(music button in the center of the instrument) <\/strong>by recording and managing loops and songs
\n\u2013 Change parameters (settings button on the right of the screen) <\/strong>of the instrument, the sounds and the songs.<\/p>\n

Visual feedback is provided by the\u00a0screen<\/strong>\u00a0(located on top of the du-touch) and a\u00a0tricolor code on the keyboard keys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0scroll wheel<\/strong>\u00a0(central tactile slider) is used to\u00a0adjust the general volume<\/strong>, and to\u00a0modify the value of the parameters<\/strong>\u00a0displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][image_with_animation image_url=”7216″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626944791524{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Choose a sound by holding the sound button, release it to play
\n<\/strong>The keyboard becomes a sound selection interface: each key lit up in green (or orange) is a sound, the three keys at the bottom of the left keyboard are tabs for changing pages. The selected sound and page are in red.<\/p>\n

Notes:
\n<\/em>\u2013 When stroking the central slider while choosing a sound, you can access 4 different presets (variants of the same sound with predefined effects)
\n<\/em>\u2013 Be sure to fully put the pad of your left thumb on the sound button (capacitive) to avoid false contact.
\n\u2013 On the three pages of sounds proposed, the right keyboard offers acoustic sounds (percussion, piano, guitar\u2026), the left keyboard offers electronic sounds (electronic drum kits, leads, pads \u2026), from the most percussive at the top to the most melodious at the bottom of the keyboards.<\/em>
\n\u2013 The harmonic sounds (to play notes) will display a lit up path: the scale. Other sounds (percussions, various sound effects, etc.) will display a different color code according to the types of sounds that constitute them: idiophones, membranophones, kicks, snares, cymbals …<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][image_with_animation image_url=”7218″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” constrain_group_6=”yes” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630401378840{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

lV. Recording and managing loops and songs<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630401663365{padding-right: 1em !important;padding-bottom: 2em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Record loops by tapping on the music button<\/strong>
\nBriefly tap the button (the screen should display the rec\/pause logo); the recording will start at the first note played. Play something, then tap a second time to close the recording.<\/p>\n

Notes:
\n– P<\/em>refer short loops: on the one hand to avoid mistakes, and on the other hand because the following loops will be of multiple lengths of the first. You can learn to record \u201cbeautiful loops\u201d in the \u201cStarting properly\u201d tab.
\n<\/em>– When recording your first loops, start with a small number of individual notes and\/or chords; good songs rely on simple bases<\/strong>, you can add complexity as you progress.<\/em><\/p>\n

Manage the recorded loops by holding the music button<\/strong>
\nWhen holding the central button with your left hand, the loops you have recorded appear on the right keyboard, in green: they are playing. Using your right hand, tap on the ones of your choice to put them in orange, then release the button at any time to mute them.<\/p>\n

Note : To delete a loop, firmly press the relevant key, or double-click the central button to delete the last recorded loop (useful in the event of a mistake).<\/em><\/p>\n

Manage the recorded songs by holding the music button
\n<\/strong>By holding the central button with your right hand, the pieces you have recorded appear on the left keyboard: the current song is located on a green key if it is playin, or orange if it is stopped; the other non-empty keys being in red. Click on an empty space then release the central button to start a new song.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/em>
\n– As with sounds, the three keys at the bottom of the left keyboard are tabs for changing pages.<\/em>
\n– As with loops, you can start and stop a song by clicking on it, and delete it by firmly pressing its key.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624618415167{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”7220″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”10px” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/xqPNa7Ogk-8″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630401869715{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Your instrument is called du-touch, but you can also call it dualo!
\n<\/strong>And its accessories: the du-belt being for use whilst playing standing up; the du-bag for transporting your dualo; and the du-stand, the wooden support for placing it on a table\/shelf.<\/p>\n

A sound\/instrument (chosen with the sound button) is called a du-sound
\n<\/strong>\u2013 When choosing one on the\u00a0du-touch, the screen displays in order: its category, its name, and the name of the current preset (which contains a set of settings and effects).
\n\u2013 If its location is green, it is an official sound created and supplied by the manufacturer: Dualo, or Intuitive Instruments. If its location is orange, it is a sound that you or a member of the community have created.
\n\u2013 A tab in the du-station software is dedicated to renaming their presets, creating them, loading them into your du-touch, and saving them on your computer.<\/p>\n

A song (chosen with the music button) is called a du-music
\n<\/strong>\u2013 Each\u00a0du-music\u00a0is composed of loops called\u00a0du-loops.
\n\u2013 A tab in the\u00a0du-station\u00a0software is dedicated to renaming them and loading them into your\u00a0du-touch, and saving them on your computer.<\/p>\n

An interactive tutorial (chosen with the music button) is called a du-game<\/strong>
\n\u2013 A tab in the du-station software is dedicated to loading them into your du-touch via the map of musical styles: the du-world.
\n\u2013 In your du-touch they are in some ways considered as \u201caugmented\u201d du-musics, and will therefore be in red like classic du-musics.<\/p>\n

The du-station software allows you to manage your du-sounds, du-musics and du-games in memory in your instrument (see video above).<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][image_with_animation image_url=”7255″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626946704563{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Enter the settings of an empty du-music: hold the music button and touch the settings button
\n<\/strong>You can release both buttons. On the right keyboard, several green keys light up, corresponding to different settings, the selected setting (in orange) is displayed on the screen. The value of each setting can be modified using the central slider. For instance you can:
\n\u2013 Change the scale<\/strong>: on the left keyboard, tap a key to change the base note (the tonic<\/em>), and stroke the central slider up\/down to choose a variant (the\u00a0mode<\/em>).
\n\u2013 Set the rhythm<\/strong>: first turn on the\u00a0metronome<\/strong>\u00a0(\u201cclic level\u201d), then change the\u00a0tempo<\/strong> value to determine the frequency of your song\u2019s beats<\/em>. It is highly recommended to set a \u201cquantizer<\/strong>\u201c, which will place your notes properly according to the metronome to make a song that is in time and pleasant to listen to; generally the value 1\/4 is preferred (to put a maximum of 4 sounds per beat<\/em>).
\n\u2013 Exit the menu<\/strong>\u00a0by choosing a sound, starting a recording, or briefly touching the settings button again.
\n\u2013 Remove the metronome after your first loops<\/strong> if\/when you no longer need it.<\/p>\n

Notes:
\n\u2013 Take the time to try each mode to see the different musical \u201ccolours\u201d they offer.
\n\u2013 Do not underestimate the usefulness of the metronome and the quantizer, they will be very useful for training or perfecting your sense of rhythm.
\n\u2013 Try recording loops with different quantizer values, to see the difference in the recorded result.
\n\u2013 The \u201csignature\u201d setting allows you to determine the number of beats per bar (only the metronome, which accentuates each first beat, is affected): therefore set the first number, the writing \u201c\/4\u201d meaning \u201cbased upon the quarter note\u201d (?<\/a><\/strong>).
\n\u2013 <\/em>The quantizer\u2019s \u201cswing\u201d sub-setting enables you to give your rhythm a bouncy effect; try to compare the same recording with a value of 0% and 100%!<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”7258″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”10px” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/SaFIi2yMnRU”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”6505″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”10px” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ctvcSev7GSk&list=PLnvLel2joypiPMI0C3b1WeChReJy8SZo4&index=4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630408098675{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

II. Creating songs more fluidly and <\/strong>efficiently
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Opt for short first loops (see the above video)<\/strong>
\nIt is even possible to record a very short loop: for example, looping a bass drum played only once enables it to be not only efficient, but can also be used as a metronome!<\/p>\n

Establish a regular creation timeline<\/strong>
\nFavour drum and percussion loops to start with, then add bass and chords, and finish with a heady melody or improvise without recording.<\/p>\n

(Really) play in the scale<\/strong>
\n\u2013 Learn how to make the orange note (the tonic) the \u201ccentral\u201d note of your song: the first chord, the first note emphasised by the instruments. Similarly when you listen to music, train your ear to recognise this note; it’s the first step towards your own adaptation of your favorite songs on your du-touch!
\n\u2013 Experiment with chord sequences (at best the closest to each other on the keyboard), and make sure that the other instruments, especially the bass, follow them as closely as possible \u2026 whilst allowing some freedom (linking notes, slight delay\u2026)! (see video video below)<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to play with your loops<\/strong>
\nEspecially if you are creating in public, being the conductor of your loops is very important to avoid the tedium of an overly repetitive piece. It’s often effective to stop the bass drum and the bass for a while, add a new instrument, and then put them back in.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”6506″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”10px” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ux8cwQ7vCvE&list=PLnvLel2joypiPMI0C3b1WeChReJy8SZo4&index=1&ab_channel=DualobyIntuitiveInstrumentsDualobyIntuitiveInstruments”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626947619203{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Harmony: watch our dedicated video tutorials (link to the playlist below) and\/or follow the du-games of the Harmony region
\n<\/b>Following your instinct and experimenting to start with is good, but once you can understand what you’re doing, you will progress even faster: whether it is with us (tutorials directly applied on the dualo keyboard) or elsewhere (Internet, books, private lessons\u2026), there are a thousand pleasant ways to understand the real keys to music, and therefore to progress quickly.<\/p>\n

Rhythm: follow the du-games, in particular those from the Rhythm region
\n<\/b>Playing music undeniably requires a certain sense of rhythm; the quantizer is, of course, there to help you compose songs which are more in time, but if you feel a need to improve yourself, nothing beats practice (e.g.: stamping your feet or clapping your hands while listening to music). You can also discover typical rhythms with a bit of research (binary, ternary rhythms \u2026).<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Access the theoretical playlist” url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?list=PLnvLel2joypgxhcgfEgzfgsg_IGbujLQ9&v=YbCt7N7VPL0″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”9110″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”none” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/uczg9NnumWA”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626948267549{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Start with the \u201cinitiation\u201d du-games<\/strong> if you are uncomfortable with music and with your instrument. They allow you to familiarise yourself with the elementary rhythms, and with the keyboard of your du-touch. Challenge yourself with \u201cexpert\u201d du-games<\/strong> if you are (and when you will be) comfortable with the music and with your instrument. Few explanations, the patterns are complete and will sometimes be challenging. In most cases, the \u201cinitiation\u201d du-games will allow you to approach the \u201cexpert\u201d du-games calmly.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/tab][tab icon_family=”fontawesome” tab_id=”1680729050905-2″ title=”Fiddling” id=”1680729050904-9″ icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-cogs”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”5\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”small_desktop” column_border_width=”5px” column_border_color=”#ff4c00″ column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”7261″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”10px” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RpRyq6Yiyx4″ image_size=”medium”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626948516530{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-bottom: 2em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

On the right hand keyboard, several green keys light up, corresponding to different settings, the selected setting (in orange) is displayed on the screen. The value of each setting can be modified using the central slider. You can in particular:<\/p>\n

– Change the note display<\/strong>: Roman (do r\u00e9 mi fa sol la s<\/em>i), English (C D E F G A B<\/em>) or German (C D E F G A B H<\/em>).<\/p>\n

– See the battery level and general information (du-touch).<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Activate\/deactivate the illumination in red of the keys when played (lighted keys)<\/p>\n

– Set the key brightness and the central button brightness (logo brightness).<\/p>\n

– Activate\/deactivate the sensors<\/strong>: sliders, gyroscope, aftertouch. Assigning\/unassigning them can be made in the menus explained below.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Change the key layout: if the dualo keyboard is not suitable for you, try the other isomorphic keyboards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– Trigger a sound each time you change a setting (noise for settings).<\/p>\n

– Set the MIDI mode (to control music software): Use the \u201cctrl\/synth\/seq\u201d mode in the vast majority of cases and to play normally without software. Activate the MIDI BLE parameter to make it detectable and usable in Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

– Adjust a general equalizer to boost certain frequencies depending on your listening system. Here is a little recommendation: high gain +3dB, mid-high gain -3dB, mid-low gain -2dB, low gain +4dB.<\/p>\n

Exit the menu<\/strong> by choosing a sound, starting a recording, or touching the settings button again.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][image_with_animation image_url=”7268″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630503954798{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

When you select a sound with the sound button (and a preset with the central slider), touch the settings button to enter the preset editor of the selected sound. When you double-click on a du-loop, you will enter the du-loop effects editor, very similar to the preset editor menu.<\/p>\n

On the right-hand keyboard, several green keys light up, corresponding to different settings, the selected setting (in orange) is displayed on the screen. The value of each setting can be changed using the central slider, and you can try your settings live on the left-hand keyboard<\/strong>. You can in particular:<\/p>\n

Adjust \u201csimple\u201d settings<\/strong>:
\n\u2013 volume
\n\u2013 octave (play the same but lower\/higher notes)
\n\u2013 reverb (reverberation simulation of a large room)
\n\u2013 portamento (link between two notes by streching the first; only in the du-sound preset editor)<\/p>\n

Some settings are \u201cdouble\u201d <\/strong>(double-click on the key of the setting to access their complementary setting) :
\n\u2013 attack\/release (fade in\/out)
\n\u2013 filter\/auto-filter (filter and its automation)
\n\u2013 panning\/auto-pan (left\/right position and its automation)
\n\u2013 pitch\/vibrato (variation of the pitch of a note in semitones and its automation)
\n\u2013 expression\/tremolo (volume and its automation)<\/p>\n

Play chords with a single finger<\/strong> (chords; only in the du-sound preset editor): The red key on the left-hand keyboard is the reference note, make the desired pattern (e.g.: the key two lines below to add the fifth).<\/p>\n

S<\/strong>et the key sensitivity<\/strong> (only in the du-sound preset editor): velocity is expressed between 0 and 127, that of the notes you play is displayed on the screen.
\n\u2013 flat allows you to stay at a fixed value (useful for \u201cweak\u201d fingers, but no nuances)
\n\u2013 standard for playing notes between 40 and 127 (the most widely used, preferred to begin with and to progress)
\n\u2013 piano\/forte to be completely free (from 0 to 127, offers more nuances but requires \u201cstrong\u201d and precise fingers)<\/p>\n

Display in red the score of a du-loop on the keyboard <\/strong>(score, only in the parameters of a du-loop): Set this parameter to \u201con\u201d, then exit the menu to follow the keys which light up, in order to learn or as a composition aid (e.g.: follow the bass notes to play chords or vice versa)<\/p>\n

Exit the menu to instantly save your preset<\/strong>, by choosing a sound, starting a recording, or touching the settings button again.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”7271″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”10px” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vFTaYgXgdJ0″ image_size=”medium”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626953783889{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

As with any other computer activity,\u00a0it is recommended to save your files<\/strong>, created on your du-touch (du-musics and presets) as on the du-station (du-sounds), as often as possible.<\/p>\n

Saving files on the du-station:<\/strong>
\n\u2013 To\u00a0save your du-musics<\/strong>, go to the du-music tab of the du-station software, then drag and drop du-musics from your du-touch to \u201cMy du-musics\u201d (or a list previously created).
\n\u2013 To\u00a0save your du-sound presets<\/strong>, double-click on a du-sound in your du-touch, then copy and paste presets in the same du-sound beforehand stored on the software. Warning: it will be longer to drag and drop entire du-sounds from your du-touch to \u201cMy du-sounds\u201d (or a list previously created), and this second option is not recommended when saving official du-sounds ; indeed, brand new du-sounds will be created (as if you created them yourself) and thus will not be recognised by du-musics using them.<\/p>\n

Saving files on your computer:
\n<\/strong>\u2013 To\u00a0export du-musics<\/strong>, go to the du-music tab of the du-station software, and do a right-click > export for the du-musics that you want to save: either from your du-touch or from \u201cMy du-musics\u201d (or a list previously created). If the du-music uses sounds created by users<\/strong> (orange), you can include them in the du-music file (necessary for sharing) if they are stored on your du-station. Importing a du-music into the du-station or on your du-touch is also possible by drag and drop (in the du-music tab).
\n\u2013 To\u00a0export du-sounds<\/strong>, do a right click > export for the du-sounds you wish to save: either from your du-touch (longer) or from \u201cMy du-sounds\u201d (or a list previously created). Importing a du-sound on du-station or on your du-touch is also possible by drag and drop (in the du-sound tab).
\n\u2013 To\u00a0export presets<\/strong>, double-click on a du-sound (either from your du-touch, or in \u201cMy du-sounds\u201d or a list previously created), and select the option \u201cCopy to hard drive\u2026\u201d.

II. Sharing your audio and video creations<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630505540454{padding-right: 1em !important;padding-bottom: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to share your creations!<\/strong> You can of course start by presenting your pieces of music to your loved ones on your du-touch, before you decide to record or even film to share them. The community is the best place to start publishing<\/strong>; it is a real source of motivating encouragement and kind advice!<\/p>\n

Once you are proud of a song, you can first practice\u00a0turning on\/off the right loops at the right times<\/strong>\u00a0to structure your piece with your audience (especially to make it more alive and less repetitive). Also practice\u00a0playing over<\/strong>, improvising within the scale or playing one of the loops live. Finally, become a real pro by knowing how to replay the entire song by looping it live!<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are lots of ways to record and film yourself : The best is to use a sound card<\/strong>\u00a0and an\u00a0editing software<\/strong>\u00a0(e.g.:\u00a0Audacity<\/a>) for the audio, a\u00a0camera\u00a0<\/strong>to film\u00a0and a\u00a0video editing software<\/strong>\u00a0to assemble the audio and the video (e.g.:\u00a0Microsoft Photos<\/a>,\u00a0iMovie<\/a>\u2026). You can then share your tracks on streaming platforms like\u00a0SoundCloud<\/a>, or your videos on\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0for example.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”7276″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”10px” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0BkcELih-pc” image_size=”medium”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627035511078{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

III. Creating your own du-sounds (basics)<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630570843051{padding-right: 1em !important;padding-bottom: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Creating sounds to put them in your du-touch is quite simple. On the du-station software, in the du-sounds tab, section \u201cMy du-sounds\u201d (or in a previously created list), click on \u201c+ Create a du-sound<\/strong>\u201c. There are three types of du-sounds:
\n\u2013 Harmonic<\/strong> (sounds stretched over several notes, ideal for note samples)
\n\u2013 Percussive<\/strong> (sounds on the keys of one keyboard, quasi-symmetrical on the other, ideal for percussion)
\n\u2013 Samples<\/strong>\u00a0(sounds on any key of the double-keyboard, ideal for sound effects and voices)<\/p>\n

You will need audio files (\u201csamples\u201d) in\u00a0.wav\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>format (44100Hz 16bits\u00a0<\/em>(?<\/a>), in\u00a0mono<\/em>\u00a0(?<\/a>)). You can find a very large number of samples on the Internet, or record them yourself.<\/p>\n

Note: \u00a0If you import .wav samples with a sampling rate different from 44100Hz 16bits and\/or in stereo, the du-station software will convert them automatically (the samples may however be slightly altered).<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627035663303{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Processing your samples<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1636105547337{padding-right: 1em !important;padding-bottom: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

If you have audio files in a different format (e.g.: .mp3), you need to\u00a0convert<\/strong> them: Audacity<\/a><\/strong> is an example of software, simple and free, for processing audio files. The software enables you in particular to adjust the sound volume, the length, add fades in\/out\u2026 When you export\/save sounds from the software, choose the correcct format. Try it out and have fun! Here are some initial recommendations<\/strong>\u00a0for processing your samples:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Cropping:<\/strong> determine the end, and especially the begining of your samples (there may be a few milliseconds of silence at the beginning of the original file, which will therefore provide an undesirable \u201clag\u201d effect when you play).<\/p>\n

\u2013 Fade out:<\/strong> to avoid clipping noises at the start and end of your samples (control sudden passages between sound and silence, and vice versa), make sure you put at least a little fade out, and even a tiny fade in if this does not affect the triggering of the note (to be avoided on percussions for example).<\/p>\n

\u2013 Normalise your samples: <\/strong>for the sake of balance with the other sounds, decide on the maximum amplitude of your samples taking into account that the very high-pitched sounds sound louder and the bass lower. For example: at Intuitive Instruments, the bass drums are normalized to -3dB, the cymbals to -12dB, the snares and other sounds in general to -6dB. Also remember that the du-touch will read the samples less loudly if you hit the keys less strongly.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][image_with_animation image_url=”7313″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630576110988{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Place each sample wherever you want<\/strong>.
\n\u2013 You can name them: the \u201cCategory\u201d field corresponds to the line that will be displayed above the \u201cName\u201d field on the du-touch screen.
\n\u2013 In the presets tab, you can decide on the lights that will be displayed on your du-touch (\u201cCustom marks\u201d).
\n\u2013 For each sample you can determine whether it is systematically played in full (\u201cActive note-off\u201d deactivated) or use the \u201crelease\u201d of each preset to determine its length when releasing the key (\u201cActive note-off\u201d activated).
\n\u2013 Each sample has a number (\u201cNote\u201d), the \u201cExclusive note\u201d field allows you to choose a note to turn off when the selected sample is played (ideal for stopping the sound of an open hi-hat when playing a closed hi-hat for example).<\/p>\n

Recommendation:
\n\u2013 For some samples it will sometimes be useful to\u00a0name them with their tempo (BPM) and their scale\/chord<\/strong> to facilitate their use on your du-touch. You can find the BPM of most known songs on the Internet, and there are several solutions to find the scale (usually the first chord of tablatures \/ scores, finding by ear,\u2026)<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][image_with_animation image_url=”7315″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627035990419{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Each sample will be reflected on the other keyboard in an almost\u00a0symmetrical<\/strong> way; ideal for playing rolls with both hands.
\n\u2013 You can name them: the \u201cCategory\u201d field corresponds to the line that will be displayed above the \u201cName\u201d field on the du-touch screen.

For each sample, double-click on a note to determine the\u00a0reference note<\/strong> (the note actually corresponding to your sample, in red), and click on lower-pitched (higher) and higher-pitched (lower) notes to determine its stretch<\/strong> (in green). Like this in your du-touch, playing a note in this zone will trigger the reference note, accelerated or slowed down to correspond to the note played.
\n\u2013 In the \u201cInfos\u201d tab, you can determine whether the notes are systematically played in full (\u201cActive note-off\u201d deactivated) or use the \u201crelease\u201d of each preset to determine the length of the notes played (\u201cActive note-off\u201d activated).<\/p>\n

Recommendations :
\n\u2013 Range (maximum range of playable notes): 7 octaves from b-1 to ab6 for the du-touch S<\/strong>\u00a0(9 octaves from b-1 to ab8 for the du-touch)
\n<\/strong>\u2013 Length of samples for constant notes (wind instruments, strings \u2026): approximately 3 seconds minimum
\n\u2013 Acoustic sounds: at least 3 notes per octave <\/strong>(ex: c, eb, f#, a), maximum stretch of -3 and +3 semitones<\/strong> to avoid making transitions too obvious between samples. Electronic sounds: no particular instruction<\/strong>, but consider that a large stretch shortens (high-pitched) or lengthens (low-pitched) the duration of the sample played.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][image_with_animation image_url=”7317″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630583179999{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

When you tap a key on your du-touch, a numerical value appears on the screen (under the name of the triggered note if its display is activated). This value corresponds to the\u00a0velocity with which you hit the key (expressed from 0 to 127),\u00a0 the average being 100<\/strong>. In the du-station, you can determine which sounds will be triggered according to the velocity, by creating layers. The more layers you have, the more the sound will be \u201calive\u201d, which is particularly recommended to create acoustic and percussive sounds more faithful to reality (e.g.: a cymbal struck strongly will make a sound very different from a cymbal brushed softly). You can access examples on some of the official Intuitive Instruments du-sounds (drums, piano, wurlitzer\u2026). The real difficulty is to obtain samples of instruments recorded at different velocities (mainly sample packs on the Internet),\u2026<\/p>\n

Recommendations:
\n\u2013 2 layers: 1-109 (soft), 110-127 (strong)<\/strong>
\n\u2013 3 layers: 1-89 (soft), 90-109 (middle), 110-127 (strong)<\/strong>

The du-touch may well allow you to play complete songs, and playing with other dualists or with other musicians<\/strong>\u00a0can be very rewarding, and multiplies the possibilities tenfold!<\/p>\n

If you are playing with other du-touch players or users of programmable software \/ machines, just set the same tempo<\/strong> and use the quantizer<\/strong> to synchronize at least your first loops.<\/p>\n

If you play with more traditional instrumentalists (pianists, saxophonists, guitarists,\u2026), you can either set the rhythm<\/strong> by recording at least one reference rhythmic loop (preferably with tempo and quantizer), or\u00a0follow the rhythm of the group<\/strong>; the tempo being more organic and therefore inconsistent, you will not be able to record loops.<\/p>\n

In any case, agree on a scale<\/strong> and even a chord grid<\/strong>, knowing that it will sometimes be necessary to integrate yourself by ear\u2026 Also don’t forget to listen<\/strong> and leave room for other musicians<\/strong>: you have an instrument that can do everything, devote yourself to the \u201cmissing elements\u201d among the main elements of the group: drums, bass, chords, melody. Also don\u2019t hesitate to question\/answer between solo instruments, and improvise on the scale<\/strong> when it’s your turn to play your solo!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/tab][tab icon_family=”fontawesome” tab_id=”1680729051732-1″ title=”Going deeper” id=”1680729051731-2″ icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-thumbs-up”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][image_with_animation image_url=”7309″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627045764971{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

We saw in a previous tab the basics of creating a du-sound. To go deeper, there are advanced editing options that can be activated in the du-station settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The fields \u201cLoop start\u201d and \u201cLoop end\u201d enable therefore the selected sample to be looped, so that it automatically repeats part of itself when it reaches its end (ideal for making sounds last indefinitely using shorter files). We see here how to create a \u201cloopable\u201d sample in a fluid way, and how to determine its looping points.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ADSR graph will allow you to adjust the behaviour of the samples individually (ahead of the \u201cattack\u201d and \u201crelease\u201d setting of the du-sound preset editor, which applies to all of the samples). It is very useful when several very different instruments compose your du-sound (examples: official Intuitive Instruments du-sounds \u201cworld (1)\u201d and \u201cworld (2)\u201d). Here we can see the general functioning of the ADSR to help you to use it.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][image_with_animation image_url=”7304″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627045864273{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Looping your samples<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1630598113782{padding-right: 1em !important;padding-bottom: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

If you have samples that deserve to be infinite (generally of constant intensity: violin notes, pads, synthesisers\u2026), there is a way to loop these samples when you edit them in a software. To do this, you will first need to display the time scale in samples<\/strong>\u00a0(which are simply the points making up the waveform curve of your sample).<\/p>\n

The whole point is to obtain a file containing a part which can be put end-to-end without the transition being noticeable by ear.<\/strong><\/b> Apart from simple signals (sine, square, triangle \u2026) whose period is easily identifiable, you will most certainly have to make this file yourself, and fortunately it is not necessarily very complicated. Here is a tip used at Intuitive Instruments:<\/p>\n

Create a file overlaying two tracks<\/strong>: in the first you will place your sample to which you will have previously added a fade out;<\/strong> the other containing the same sample with this same fade out and a fade in<\/strong>. Opt for long enough fades, but keep a central area of the sample common in the two files (in blue on the diagram).<\/p>\n

Arrange these two samples one over the other so that they overlap. Place the start of the second sample beyond half the length of the first<\/strong>, to have two common sound zones<\/strong>; they are absolutely identical, it is where the loop points will be determined.<\/p>\n

Listen to the sound result of different positions, to avoid the transition from one file to another being too obvious (the superimposition of files can generate a power loss\/gain, phase effects\u2026).<\/p>\n

When you’re happy with the result, export the file as a single sample<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0check the effectiveness of your loop points<\/strong> (many software allow you to loop play a selected part of the sample), determined as follows:
\n\u2013 Loop start<\/strong> = your choice in the first common area
\n\u2013 Loop length = position of the start of the second sample
\n\u2013 Loop end<\/strong> = loop start + loop length<\/p>\n

If everything works perfectly, you can delete the part of the sample created beyond the loop point<\/strong> (keeping a small safety margin of a few dozen samples), to reduce its size.<\/p>\n

Create your du-sound in the du-station by entering the loop values in the corresponding fields: you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n

Notes :
\n\u2013 You can also split samples by displaying the time graduation in bars and beats, useful if you want to end up with pieces of a song whose tempo you know exactly. In this case, the looping points will be very easy to determine, ideal for making launchpad-style remixes!
\n\u2013 Use round numbers to make your task easier: here the second sample is placed at the 130,000th sample, the loop closing at the 280,000th. In our case, you can also loop between 120,000 and 270,000 for example.
\n\u2013 You can identify the reliefs as points of reference (in orange on the diagram).
\n\u2013 Be sure to name your samples to store the looping information, example: \u201ca1 (130000-280000).wav\u201d
\n\u2013 Note that by default, the looping points are: start = length of the sample, end = start + 31 samples (of silence)!<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″][image_with_animation image_url=”6546″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627046656431{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

The Attack Decay Sustain Release (ADSR) envelope is a very common envelope in synthesizers. Synchronised with the keyboard, it modulates the amplitude (between 0 and 1) of the sound of each sample using four parameters:
\n\u2013 Attack:<\/strong> time required to reach the maximum level, after pressing a key on the keyboard.
\n\u2013 Decay:<\/strong> time required to go back down to the sustain.
\n\u2013 Sustain:<\/strong>\u00a0stable level, kept as long as the key is held down.
\n\u2013 Release:<\/strong>\u00a0time required for the level to decrease until returning to 0, when the key is released.<\/p>\n

By default when adding a sample, the ADSR curve is \u201calmost neutral\u201d; playing the note and releasing it is equivalent to simply reading and stopping the sample.<\/p>\n

Try changing the values \u200b\u200band check the result on your du-touch. As mentioned in the introduction, ADSR is useful within the same du-sound, for example to simulate the sound inertia of a cymbal and the clear stop of a rattle sound when you release their respective keys (whereas adjusting the release in the preset editor will necessarily affect the two samples).<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1624877884289{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

If you are really resourceful, you can for example:
\n\u2013 Graft samples on \u201cunused\u201d notes on a harmonic sound<\/strong> (ex: sliding sounds on a guitar neck, placed on the lowest\/highest notes of a du-sound of guitar).
\n\u2013 Place other samples on a single layer (example 127-127)<\/strong>: You can configure one of the 4 presets in flat<\/em> sensitivity (all the notes played will be at a fixed value you can set) and thus be able to play, on the same du-sound, different sounds in the same range (ex: for a du-sound of violins sustain, put on this layer some pizzicato sounds).
\n\u2013 Overlap the layers<\/strong> (ex: make a layer 1-127 of long bass notes, and a layer 100-127 of short slap sounds; for a note triggered between 100 and 127, the sounds of each layer will be superimposed).<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/tab][tab icon_family=”fontawesome” tab_id=”1680729051989-10″ title=”Help \/ Support” id=”1680729051988-9″ icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-wrench”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1624614693802{border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;border-left-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ff4c00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627387914051{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

Like many complex electronic devices, the du-touch has a reset button. If your instrument seems to be blocked during a normal use (\u201cfreeze\u201d), you can click on the reset button<\/strong>\u00a0(small hole next to the USB socket) using a fine point (a paper clip, a needle \u2026) to restart the instrument.<\/p>\n

Normally very rare,\u00a0if a blockage is recurrent and reproducible, don’t hesitate to report it to us by contacting support<\/strong> (contact info above)..<\/p>\n

Note: The saving of a du-music being made at the change of a du-music, a normal connection to the du-station, or a normal extinction: these all run a risk of erasing what you made since the last backup.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627047646013{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

If you hear sustained notes\/sounds that you have not recorded, you can stop them by replaying them or by double clicking on the sound button; the words \u201call notes off\u201d appear on the screen, corresponding to the \u201cMIDI Panic\u201d function found in many computer music interfaces.<\/p>\n

These \u201cheld notes\u201d occur when you touch the sound button or the music button before releasing a note on the keyboard. <\/strong>From the du-touch point of view, the information of \u201cnote-off\u201d is therefore not sent to the synthesiser, thus making it play until its end (if it has one, as certain sounds like the pads don’t really because their samples are\u00a0 looped).<\/p>\n

Also, maintaining a note can be useful in certain cases<\/strong>, in particular to play an on-going background chord with a pad, or to trigger long samples (a rap flow for example) in a flash to free your hands\u2026<\/p>\n

If you hear unwanted held notes in a loop, the recording was ended before those notes were released<\/strong>, so the \u201cnote-off\u201d information was not recorded. In this case, you will have to re-record your loop.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1627047899741{padding-top: 1em !important;padding-right: 1em !important;padding-left: 1em !important;}”]\n

– First check that the du-touch is\u00a0turned on<\/strong>, and the USB sockets are well plugged in<\/strong>.
\n– At the computer level,\u00a0try several USB ports<\/strong>\u00a0(and avoid the use of USB hubs \/ multiple sockets). If you are on Windows, you can follow\u00a0this tutorial<\/a>.
\n– Use the supplied micro-USB cable, or\u00a0try similar cables<\/strong>\u00a0if you have them (fairly common and easy to find on the market, especially used for many smartphones). Please note, some cables are only dedicated to charging and do not allow data transfer (essential to connect to the du-station): unfortunately the distinction is often overlooked by manufacturers.
\n– Check, without forcing, whether there is a false contact at the <\/span>micro-USB socket on the du-touch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

– First check that your\u00a0general volume<\/strong>\u00a0(adjustable with the central slider) is at a sufficient value.
\n– Then check that your\u00a0sound device<\/strong>\u00a0(headphones, earphones, speaker\u2026) is working properly, and\/or try to use another one. Also check that the\u00a0cable<\/strong> (jack\/mini-jack) used is working properly with other devices. If not, check, without forcing, if there is a false contact at the du-touch mini-jack socket<\/strong>.
\n– In the general settings menu, check that the \u201cmidi mode<\/strong>\u201d setting is set to\u00a0ctrl\/synth\/seq<\/strong>.
\n– Try several\u00a0du-sounds\/presets<\/strong>\u00a0and\/or check that their \u201cvolume<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cexpression<\/strong>\u201d settings are at a sufficient value (in the preset editor).<\/p>\n

Try several\u00a0du-sounds\/presets<\/strong>\u00a0to see the extent of the problem. Your sound bank may be corrupted due to a problem with the du-touch\u2019s internal memory.<\/p>\n

Make sure to save your presets and du-musics if necessary (described in the \u201cCreating \/ Storing \/ Sharing\u201d tab), then\u00a0delete<\/strong>\u00a0the du-sounds concerned, then\u00a0reload<\/strong>\u00a0them. Depending on the extent of the problem, you can also \u201cErase all du-sounds\u201d (\u201cdu-touch\u201d tab of the du-station software), then load and try a small-sized sound, before loading other sounds.<\/p>\n

If your du-touch gets stuck on the display of the dualo logo, your du-touch may have had a problem during its last update or file transfer. In this case a manipulation can allow you to reinstall the elements necessary for its proper functioning (no loss of data is to be expected):<\/p>\n

If you have a du-touch S:<\/strong>\u00a0Turn off the instrument by forcing it to turn off (holding the on\/off button for several seconds). Then, holding the reset button (small hole next to the USB socket), click on the power button, then release the reset button. After a few seconds, the screen should display \u201cFlash me\u2026\u201d: connect it to the du-station software to reinstall the latest update.<\/p>\n

If you have a du-touch (big model):<\/strong> Turn off the instrument by forcing it to turn off (holding the on\/off button for several seconds). Then hold the on\/off button for approximately 10 seconds. After a few seconds, the screen should display \u201cFlash me\u2026\u201d: connect it to the du-station software to reinstall the latest update.<\/p>\n

If the manipulation does not seem to solve your problem, repeat the operation but refuse the proposed update; then, in the du-touch tab, reset the internal memory, erase all du-sounds, and reset the official soundbank (or load sounds manually from the du-sound tab).<\/p>\n
