du-touch S

The all-in-one electronic music instrument

The du-touch S is a complete creation tool, designed around the dualo principle; arranging harmonious notes next to each other, its backlit keyboard allows you to play in tune with a minimum of effort.

Much more than a controller, the du-touch S is an instrument integrating a customizable sampler and a looper/sequencer, to compose and improvise easily. For beginners as well as the most experienced.
