Teenage Engineering TE010AS012 PO-12 Rhythm Drum Machine & Sequencer
Who needs fancy frills like an outer case, when you’ve got the solid drum sounds, killer effects, and intuitive sequencing Teenage Engineering’s Pocket Operator PO-12 rhythm machine has to offer? Onboard this streamlined PC board, you’ll find access to 16 tweakable drum sounds, a 16-step sequencer with 16 chainable patterns, and 16 effects you can use to sweeten things up. Components such as a Silicon Labs EFM32 Gecko MCU, a Cirrus Logic DAC, and a Knowles speaker deliver high-quality sound that even raise once-skeptical eyebrows among electronic-music enthusiasts. Plus, the Pocket Operator PO-12 runs so efficiently on just a pair of AAA batteries, that its standby time is measured in years. What’s more, the PO-12 and the rest of the Pocket Operator line can sync to one another (and many other modular synths) over 1/8″ cables, so you can integrate them into a larger tabletop rig.

GREAT sounds and fun for the price. USEFUL!
So much fun. Seriously. So fun. This thing is fun. Just… fun. I’m not a serious musician, I bought this to mess around with, and it has been worth every penny. The controls can be a little funny at first and it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you have that down it’s super easy to program sequences and even chain them together and it’s a remarkably powerful little synth.Plus it just looks cool. Anyone who sees you playing with it, or even sees it laying around in your home, will want to pick it up and…
amazing, in every way im a hobbyist/semiprofessional musician that has owned just about every value-priced synth/sequencer/music toy/audio gadget you can get nowadays…i have owned them, and inevitably re-sold them all, losing interest or just not being happy with overall functionality…that being said, this is the most full-featured and easy-to-play musical instrument i have ever owned. for the price paid (even paying full price, which i did not, having gone ding-and-dent from amazon warehouse for 59$ i think…
