| DUY was established in 1972 as a manufacturer of electronic hardware. From 1972 to 1987 DUY designed and manufactured sound equipment, synthesizers, drum
machines, audio compressors, limiters, mixing consoles, and samplers.
Two of DUY´s most outstanding developments were the world´s
first digital drum machine and one of the very first
polyphonic synthesizers.
The ALFA1024 was a hybrid synthesizer equipped
with 32 digital oscillators, 8 voices analog
processing and a 1024 notes sequencer.
The system was controlled by an on-board
Rockwell 6502 CPU with 32K of RAM. It was 1983.
