Playing notes
To play notes, hit the keys with your ngertips. Simply pressing isn't effective,
you need to move your ngers rapidly. The harder you hit, the louder the
sound. It is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the keys, display a scale on the
keyboard or display the names of the notes on the screen..
Holding a note
For playing a sustained note without keeping the key depressed, play and
hold the music or sound button before releasing the note or chord.To re-
lease the sustained note, play the same notes again or double-click the sound
button.
Layout of the notes
On the Dualo, as one goes away from the head, the notes jump up in thirds,
both major thirds (inward) and minor thirds (outward). So two hands must
co-operate to play all the notes needed: one hand must play the rst (root),
third, fth and seventh, etc. notes, while the other hand plays the second,
forth, sixth, eighth (octave), etc. notes. To play a chord you just need to play
three successive keys. See the dualo principle, to nd out more.
It is possible to display the notes on the screen.
