DUY was formerly known for the design and manufacturing of 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 (see photo).
The ALFA1024 was a hybrid synthesiser 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.

IN 1986 DUY created its first recording studio.
Initially conceived for sound and music produccion, it
attracted the advertising agencies and film production
companies. Advertising was a flourishing business at that
time in Barcelona.
