Teenage Engineering PO-28 Pocket Operator Robot
The PO-28 robot has 15 real synthesis-based 8-bit sounds and an additional micro drum machine. All sounds can be controlled via an internal step sequencer. The pocket synthesiser from the Swedish cult manufacturer Teenage Engineering has no housing, so all components and the circuit board are directly visible and part of the design. Power is supplied by 2 standard (AAA) micro batteries. In addition, each pocket operator has an animated LCD display, a built-in speaker, bent wire stand, Jam Sync for synchronising with other devices, line inputs and outputs (3.5 mm jack) and, conveniently, an integrated alarm clock. Parameter Lock can be used to record automations for each step. Effects available include filter, bit crusher, delay and stutter.

1 drum kit sequencer1 melodic sequencerAnd you can solo over the top in a pretty expressive way.I take it everywhere, you will probably want a case for it, the only thing I wish is a way to disable the buttons when it's sleeping as any button press turns it on (I've had multiple times where it's jamming in my pocket while talking to someone lol)

I bought the Robot card and it’s great fun to noodle with. It has a drum track and melody so you can pretty much make whatever track you want. These are easy to get sounding good quickly. I’m a sound artist looking for quick ways to get sounds behind dancers, and I think these synced are going to be a ton of fun to perform with without having to lug tons of gear. The card are surprisingly stable to play, too, so don’t worry about needing the cases.

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.
Addictive toy. I am still learning how to use this, but the one I bought seems to function as expected. This line of electronic sound generators has many different modules. I hope to acquire more.
A little disappointed with this one. Sounds really quiet compared to others. Searched online and other people are having the same issue. Tried the factory reset, still quiet.Sounds really good, but when syncing with the others, I have to turn them all down just so it can cut through in the mix.
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.
nice little lead numeric synth. as small as a credit card. Sound interesting but limited in a certains way the effect help to correct that. Ideal for beginner and for peoples who want to experiment. Look like a toys but its not . Unfortunnately , it miss an midi input. Great for the price you can have fun with it and may be can be insert in a professional track
