Teenage Engineering PO-14 Pocket Operator Sub
Teenage Engineering PO-14 Overview Small enough to fit in your pocket and powered by a pair of AAA batteries, the Teenage Engineering PO-14 Sub Bass Synthesizer features multiple real synthesizer engines including FM, subtractive synthesis, wave table, and physically modeled strings with 16 punch-in effects including delay, bit crusher, and filters. It also includes 16 punch-in bass oriented playing styles. The punch-in play styles are a quick way to create melodies. The concept is to minimize the effort of entering a complete series of notes in a sequence by simply adding one or a few notes and then allowing the punch-in function to fill in variations of the notes that follow. The synthesizer parameters can be locked while an auto compressor and hardware limiter ensure adequate signal generation without clipping. A 16-step sequencer features 16 available patterns and up to 16 patterns can be chained together. An integrated clock and alarm clock expands the creative possibilities of the instrument. A jam sync function with 3.5mm audio in and out connections allows for multiple synthesizer units to be linked together. Using high-quality components with low power consumption, the synthesizer is cleverly designed with a Silabs EFM 32 Gecko CPU, a Cirrus Logic DAC, and a Knowles speaker placed under a novel animated LCD on a single circuit board. A fold-out stand makes it easier to play, and rear-panel speaker solder terminals allow you hook up the unit to a larger sound system. An optional tailor-made silicone pro case (sold separately) adds anti-slip feet, battery protection, and professional-feel buttons to this very unique music-making device.

These things are so much fun to play with! Really easy to use and relatively cheap if you're looking to get into music gear. They could be a great gift too. This particular one is not so great as a standalone machine, it needs to be backed up by other pocket operators or other melodic machines.

Absolutely the fun most piece of gear I have.Its a bit of learning curve, because its hard to see the symbols, and memorize all the options while using your fingers over the small buttons.The limitations of this thing bring out loads of creativity with your jams.The only downside to this thing is 1) a bit of an unconventional method of syncing to external gear 2) its a bit of a memory game remembering the 16 buttons with multiple functions each. 3) Be careful with it, it feels a bit fragile. They sell the cases for an additional $.For what its worth, I have a blast with this thing I wholeheartedly recommend it. I bring it to work and plug in my headphones on downtime and record to my zoomh4 secretly. Or ill be on the couch and want to bust out a little acid groove ... MoreAbsolutely the fun most piece of gear I have.Its a bit of learning curve, because its hard to see the symbols, and memorize all the options while using your fingers over the small buttons.The limitations of this thing bring out loads of creativity with your jams.The only downside to this thing is 1) a bit of an unconventional method of syncing to external gear 2) its a bit of a memory game remembering the 16 buttons with multiple functions each. 3) Be careful with it, it feels a bit fragile.

I already had a few POs, and wanted to see where it all started. This drum machine may be small, but it packs A LOT!The sound won't be clean hi-fi, but rather has some characterful dirt and grit. Despite being deceptively simple, it's quite usable, sound great and comes with interesting performance effects and features. For the price, you can't ask for more!But don't be fooled: it's not a toy, and can fit perfectly in a mix or in for your sample collection.
Whadya wan' for 60 euros? This. This lil' bee's sting right here. It'll stick a pointer up your b-ox and you will be able to set a bass line that kicks your genitalia--and everyone else's sexualised erotic neuronal pathways--like nobody's business. And ain't that what we want from music? Passion, pathos, tension/release, the whole bedroom in a box phenom, right? Yeah, if you want flowers light and breezy and clinique you can probably do that here, but if you want sex in every form from garbage to minima you would not do anybody any harm by bringing this boite with you at all times. It ain't gonna bites your breasts off like a Moog, but it will tickle your tiger in that bass chasing dog kinda way. You don't need the technical specs right? You can watch videos and boa ... MoreWhadya wan' for 60 euros? This. This lil' bee's sting right here.

You can watch videos and boa constrictors talking all their lfo, high/low pass, Johnny cash bollox but what you wanna know at bottom is if the beast can crank out your inner child on acid. Am I right or am I right? Well this LSD driven danish dish is your death come to visit you with flowers. I know that's a bit strong, but how many machines are able to transcend the life-death barrier and come back and talk about it--or at least make a baseline out of it? You want life and death shenanigans you came to the right hole in the wall mr and missus.
It's a fun toy to play with and make fun little bass lines. The reason I take away one star is the fact that it doesn't let you change keys at all or easily adjust by half-steps, which is kind of silly that you wouldn't be able to do that. It's pretty limiting. Don't expect much from this device musically. Think of it more as a little musical toy.
I love the idea. Helped me familiarize with music composition real quick. Device is cool. Build quality is questionable. My screen is visibly misaligned. Also having battery contact issues. All these could be fixed with some tinkering, so I live with it. Until notes just started to come out in a completely unintended way. I try to punch in extremely basic pattery and it will not give me that pattern. Tried factory reset, bpm, cancel effects, nope. I think at this point something is fundamentally Fed up with the device. Inexpensive device for fun. Don't expect any superior experience from it. A quick google search will show that qc issues are not uncommon in these at all. Not super mad but just bummed. It doesn't need to have all the best hardware but maybe at least ... MoreI love the idea. Helped me familiarize with music composition real quick. Device is cool. Build quality is questionable.

For the price, this thing is impossible to beat. It is pretty simple to use and has a surprising number of features & effects. Chaining multiple patterns together, in different order & how many times each pattern repeats is easy & intuitive. The bass sounds are really good and fun to tweak & experiment with. I got it to use along with my Korg Volca Drum and Korg Monologue. For the days when I just want to jam with a fun & easy work flow. I like that I can sync it with other midi gear as long as I run it through the Volca or Monologue. I can turn down the volume on the Korg stuff if I just wanted to hear the PO-14 with my MPC 1000 for example. It would be nice if it had midi breakout cables & could be controlled externally with a keyboard or sequencer, like the UNO ... MoreFor the price, this thing is impossible to beat.

It would be nice if it had midi breakout cables & could be controlled externally with a keyboard or sequencer, like the UNO Synth or the Novation Circuit, but those cost A LOT more & for $49.00 the PO-14 is a steal. Its fun and inspiring. You can get really cool sounds once you use effects and motion sequencing/parameter locking. This is my first Pocket Operator, but Im sure it wont be my last! The only question now is which one to get next...?
This Pocket Operator creates some truely crushing bass sounds. My only complaint is that it plays the white keys of a piano - which is different than the scale that you find on some of the later pocket operators (like the PO128). If you are programming it, you can program it to play a half note up (uses the effects) but essentially there's no way to tune it otherwise. It's a limitation but I still found it to be a fun device.
Mine was a returned item: so I got open box, the upper tab removed and a fat discount :-); other than that the unit functions perfectly.Pocket Operators are a lot of fun and I already got a cople. I am a guitar player and I use them to build small jam along tunes or, rarely, perform small live electronic sets for friends. Once you learn to use them, they are a simple and fast way to create music without relying to a computer (wich I am not a fan of).This one is really a powerful, probably the most powerful, pocket operator. It is also the most complicated to learn (but not by much) and it has great expressive possibilities. The loaded samples are very good, and you can build full songs out of them but, of course, the fun is building YOUR samples collection and ... MoreMine was a returned item: so I got open box, the upper tab removed and a fat discount :-); other than that the unit functions perfectly.Pocket Operators are a lot of fun and I already got a cople.

And you can back up them!They say audio quality is low... that this is only a toy... not for professional use... then they spend a fortune for a vintage casio sk (a vintage toy synth of course) just because some famous artist used it. Just let me play with my new toy and shut up.
