U2 Duet
Giorgio Aguilar
A duet is a musical composition for two performers in which the performers have equal importance to the piece, often a composition involving two singers or two pianists. It differs from a harmony, as the performers take turns performing a solo section rather than performing simultaneously. A piece performed by two pianists performing together on the same piano is a "piano duet" or "piano four hands".[1] A piece for two pianists performing together on separate pianos is a "piano duo".
When Mozart was young, he and his sister Marianne played a duet of his composition at a London concert in 1765. The four-hand, described as a duet, was in many of his compositions which included five sonatas; a set of variations, two performers and one instrument, and a sonata for two pianos. The first published sonata or duet was in 1777.[2]
Duets have always been a part of the structure of operas. Early 16th-century operas such as L'Orfeo and L'incoronazione di Poppea involve duets throughout the performance. In 17th-century Italy duets were often used in comic scenes within serious operas. In Baroque France the duet was popular in tragedies, such as songs of vengeance and confrontation. The love duet was characterized by singing in close harmonies of 3rds and 6ths, symbolizing unity after conflict.[3]
Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, duets have been common in the popular music of their respective eras. In addition to a standard vocal duet, some songs have been written to be heard as conversations; for example, "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Other songs are performed around a theme; for example, New York City in "Empire State of Mind". Occasionally, duets are an improvisation between artists; for example, "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie. Bowie and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury reportedly composed the lyrics in a day by improvising together.[4] Duets are also common in musical movies and musical theatre; "Fit as a Fiddle" for the 1952 movie Singin' in the Rain and its corresponding play of the same name.[5]
Theoretically, a duet could be constructed from any two pre-recorded singers or musicians so long as there are isolated audio channels from each artist. With the advent of audio deepfake technology, it is now possible to create virtual duets using an AI facsimile of a singer (or singers) who never sang the song in the first place. A famous example of this is "Heart on My Sleeve" by ghostwriter977, who wrote and produced an original song using voice models of Drake and The Weeknd.
Had a busy, yet very productive weekend! I installed the Duet wifi on my Prusa MK3s this past weekend, no issues at. She got the Zaribo 10mm full upgrade as well as the Duet Wifi, so it's really a completely different machine. It is also worth mentioning that a while ago I upgraded the extruder to the Bondtech Mosquito Upgrade Kit which has been great also!
Do you by any chance have any pictures to share of printed models before and after? Can you tell us a bit more of the Mosquito and Zaribo upgrades and what difference they made compared to the original MK3S?
I do believe that the geared bondtech mosquito upgrade did make the extrusion more uniform and has the added benefit of easier nozzle swaps. A bunch can be read about the added benefits of a geared extruder, just search this forum for bondtech mosquito and you'll find loads of info. The Zaribo 10mm upgrade is awesome, there is no slop at all in anything, all axis glide like a dream, and the frame is super solid - like a bear upgrade. Then when you add the duet it truly becomes a different printer, not in a bad way, just different - kinda like Mac vs Windows... So right now it all is working great but I have a lot of tuning going on and kinda learning at every point.
With regard to advantages/limitations in user functionality, I myself find the duet with paneldue easier. The most commonly used functions by me are filament handling followed by baby-stepping z (live z for prusa).
"Set Filament Type" - This macro asks what filament you going to use; PLA, PETg, ABS, or PC. This information will be used to change the "Heat Nozzle" macro, which can be ran individually to heat the hotend for the specified filament. and is also used, or required, by the macro "Filament Handling". Once this is set you do not have to use it again, unless you change filament type.
"Filament Handling" - For any and all filament unloading / loading / changing use this macro. This macro will load, unload, and change filament base on whether is detects filament is current loaded or not, and if a print is in progress or not.
"Heat Nozzle" is created and changed by the operation of "Set Filament Type" macro and can be selected on its own and is also used / required by the "Filament Handling" macro. If you select it, the hotend will heat to the set filament type temperature.
I am working on macro for pinda compensation, the next update to RRF should be bringing in use of variables and make it easy. As it is now, I do pinda heatup over bed and don't have any issues. Actually since I now use independent Z axis control, they are leveled more accurately then the prusa way, which in turn leads to better mesh.
I know people do use power loss recovery with this board, but I have not ever used that function with Einsy and haven't considered it with duet - but I will look into it and implement as it should be doable.
The cost thing... if you compare it directly to the replacement cost of an Einsy, it isn't that much more money - I think 30 - 40 dollars or so. But you also need to factor in that you will need new fans that run on 24v. And then, if you want a paneldue display, add that on the tab also - you can't use the prusa lcd display. So yes, there is an investment for sure - maybe in 120 dollars above the cost for Einsy?
I see pro's and con's both ways, I'm getting more perspective on this on a daily basis as I use it - but I do believe this is a better, more capable, driver board. Possibly a bit overkill for MK3s? ?
Then when I did the Zaribo 10mm upgrade is when I got the duet and other goodies, my sons got that board, skr, and the leftovers to make their own. It was good, and I do like marlin fw - actually Zaribo even sells wiring adapters so people can cross over to SKR easy.
For me it would be interesting if the Duet2 was available with the Marlin firmware. The i3 offers many good functions, which have to be integrated laboriously into the existing firmware. As long as there is nothing available in this direction, I will stay with the 8-bit version, which works so far. But I do appreciate it very much if people get involved with it and invest the necessary time for it.

I was having an email issue and got tired of Microsoft and GoDaddy pointing fingers at each other, so I did a factory reset on my ENVY X360 yesterday and I am once again getting the same duet.exe system error (see below) with each restart/start that I was getting when I did my initial setup. (After the initial setup, I prevented the error message by simply uninstalling Duet Display 2.3.9.0.)
When someone proposes a solution to a problem, they are drawing on their experience and knowledge to formulate their best attempt to solve the problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does. However, since it is their solution, I can ask them questions about the steps they are proposing or about any number of other concerns I may have. Perhaps more importantly, if the steps provided did not fix the problem, the person who was helping me can use their familiarity with their solution to make the necessary adjustments. In fact, when someone takes the time to think through the problem and propose a solution, which I then implement, both of us are now invested in the process and in a successful outcome and it is these investments made by both parties that creates the mutual and complementary commitments to success resulting in an incredibly valuable community experience.
Wow, he received an incredible number of very generous accolades for his solution to the prevalent problem! I am now very confident in his solution and look forward to putting this bothersome error message behind me.
