You might remember Dualo from previous posts. It looks like it will be making its way to Kickstarter for funding on April 12. The following are some details and pics from their website:

"A playful and intuitive keyboard

The dualo keyboard is based on an unique key layout, where notes that sounds good together -from the harmonic theory point of view- are arranged next to each other.

The dualo keyboard is very quick to master. Thanks to the dualo principle, scales and chords are represented by geometrical patterns, therefore easy to play and learn. Whether you are beginner or musician, it only takes a few minutes to play and improvise.

The instrument-studio mobile and expressive

Dualo merges the pleasure to play music and the easiness of creation in a home-studio into one unique and self-sufficient interface.
Thanks to its ergonomics, the du-touch empower your creativity and your spontaneity. It allows you to play and compose in any musical style, in a matter of seconds, without the use of a computer.


Compact & mobile

With only 28 cm high (11,2 inch) for 1,2 kg (2,6 lb) and a 8-hour battery life in playing mode, the du-touch will follow you everywhere.

Connected and upgradable

Thanks to du-station software, import and export your compositions to your computer and share them with the dualo community.

Dualo du-touch, a new musical instrument

Published on Mar 2, 2013 dualoInstrument·19 videos

"Dualo presents du-touch, a new musical instrument. Find out why Cyril Atef (-M-, Bumcello, Congopunk) and Fixi (Java) decide to adopt this instrument.
Want some more ? www.dualo.org"

Dualo showed their instrument at Modularaquare back in October of 2011.

"The dualo principle was invented in 2007. It is an alternative arrangement consisting in putting the notes that sound good together next to each other according to the traditional harmonic theory.

The dualo principle :

makes easier the learning of musical technique : one chord = one shape, two shapes make a scale,
makes the improvisation easier : the keys that sound well together are placed next to each other, speeds up the learning of notation : the notions of chord, scales and degree become geometrical shapes easy to memorize and play, makes practice easier : the fingering for scales and chords are the same in every key, allows great virtuosity : the alternation of both hands and the notes arrangement allow to play very fast and very precisely, makes notes reading easier : the notes on staff lines are played by one hand, the notes on spaces by the other hand..."
