Dato DUO
The Dato DUO lets you share your love of synthesizers with your kids in a way that allows two to operate it at once. The basic, but colourful interface is fun to use and makes it easy to understand the different parts of a synthesizer.
With the 8-step pattern sequencer on one side and the synth controls on the other, it’s just as exciting for either member of the synth team. What’s more, the DUO has built-in speakers and powers via USB so it’s easy to set up anywhere.
Although rather simplistic, the DUO still has glide, accent, and detune controls, as well as MIDI and Sync I/O. So you can easily connect it with your studio setup once you’ve finished the bedtime story.
