Teenage Engineering TE010AS024A PO-24 Office Pocket Operator
Conjuring torrents of lo-fi staccato sound, Teenage Engineering’s Pocket Operator PO-24 Office is a unique kind of drum and rhythm machine, regardless of the stripped down Pocket Operator aesthetic. Onboard, you’ll find 16 delightfully glitchy sounds and a 16-step sequencer (complete with a step multiplier) that let you lay down beats quickly and intuitively. Electronic musicians are huge fans of the 16 punch-in effects built into the PO-24 Office, which make it easy to spice up your beats on the fly. And with 128-pattern chaining available, you can sync to other compatible gear and lay out entire songs with your Pocket Operator PO-24 Office.

If you have other PO systems you can think of this as the percussionist in the band to add some colours and glitches and effects. If you’ve not invested in a drum machine…
TE has great products. This is a great product just like all the others. This review is based on personal opinion of the sounds produced by this PO.Not a fan. If you’re looking to make some low fi floppy disk office printer sounds… You’re in luck. I thought I would dig it, but quickly found this PO moved out of my chained PO workbench.
