BECOME YOUR OWN DJ

- NICHOLAS NAIOTI

Dato Duo ($395) I am a professional musician, who also happens to believe music is for everyone, and loves accessible instruments that anyone can use. This device has a unique two-person interface that encourages collaborative music making in real time. The controls are simple and colorful, and you can’t help but tinker with it! It has a sequencer and a synth section with a robust set of controls. The sounds it creates can be customized endlessly and it offers a surprising amount of depth for creative exploration. While the price point may dissuade some, this is a fantastic addition to any creative space.
