This is gonna make some people extremely happy. The distance between pads makes it tactile in a major way, and the MPE is just extra on top! I can see this with alchemy, virus, massive!

It doesn't have built-in sounds, it's just a controller. You can use it as standard midi device (with very good aftertouch, no pitch bend) or as a MPE device and it has Pitch/Gate/Mod CV output for modular. It works as an Android/IOS midi device too if that's your thing.

It's not currently possible to remap the note layout but the company have said that will come in a firmware update in the near future. Same with custom scales (it has 35 built-in scales though) and customizing the LEDs, not yet but soon.

I love mine. Waited 8 months for it to arrive and wasn't disappointed..

I have one of these and its a controller without any sounds the sounds are probably coming from software synth Surge

The first patch is so Add n to x “on the wires of our nerves”… hopefully more info soon?

🙄okay, not the best sound demo🤣
It's probably tough to hear tiny tuning differences on the NAMM floor, with so many instruments and voices all doing their own thing. Still, I'm surprised the Dualo people didn't set up more "normal" sounds for the demo.

A "Sounds only" for a controller – please don't do it again.
