Intro DuoPoloy is a polyphonic music synthesizer that can be played with the ArduTouch board’s touch-keyboard. It has 8 octaves, Tremelo, Vibrato, distortion effects, Low Pass Filter, and several interesting waveform voices. It can also be used as a sequencer. As well as the touch-keyboard, DuoPoly makes use of the two knobs and two buttons on the ArduTouch board.
