Teenage Engineering PO-24 office Noise Percussion Drum Computer en Sequencer (Pocket Operator met 16 geluiden, LCD-scherm, luidspreker, 16 punch-in effecten, Step-Sequencer, Parameter Lock), Zwart

bought it grom Amazon Returns for a very good price. Item came without original package but looked like new and is in perfect working condition

Make sure you remove the tab for a proper fit. This case is perfectly sized to fit your PO and is super easy to install. I’ve had ours of fun using my PO-33 and the case ensures it remains in great condition with lost of use. The sound is just as clear as it is without the case.I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to have long usage fun with the device.

The PO-28 Robot is the lead guitarist among the Pocket Operator lineup. Its specialty is providing lead synthesizer over the top of the other units, although it is fully capable in its own right.What you get:Lo-fi lead synth goodness. Playing the 16 keys and twisting the knobs will get you the lo-fi equivalent of everything from a haunting guitar to soaring synth and bleep-bloop chiptune leads. Although 16 keys isn't a lot, the unit does let you tune up and down a decent amount to get some range. Great for simple live play.A fully-functional sequencer. The 16-step sequencer also makes use of the 16th sound key which provides 16 different drum sounds. Use some of the low synth lines for bass, the drum key for drums, and then rock out your lead with the high instruments. That's full song capability, onboard. Super cool, and so fun for freeform play.Song play. The sequencer can remember up to 128 patterns in sequence. At 80bpm, that's 6.4 minutes of recorded patterns. You can then use the FM and live play to jam over top of that. You can also punch in more patterns or sets of patterns on the fly, meaning you have almost unlimited play options within the confines of the unit.Connects to other POs. Since this is mostly a lead synth, you may want to immediately connect it to the PO-12 Rhythm or PO-32 Tonic which are more fully-featured drum machines. This will let you control the drum separate from lead, making for more complex song ideas. You can also add a PO-14 Sub for basslines, a PO-33 for samples, or a PO-35 speak for voice/vocoder samples. Or how about a PO-20 for more lo-fi 8-bit arcade sounds? So many options! The POs share clock using a simple stereo ("aux") cable, and the audio will be output by the final unit in the chain.The only downside:Teenage Engineering responded to the fact that at high volume the PO-1X series had distorted sound by lowering the volume on the PO-2X series. You will therefore want to look up some guides people have made for chaining the units- you may for instance want the volume on the Robot maxed out while your rhythm machine is set down to maybe half volume. It's a small oddity, and takes moments to fix. But the Robot is very quiet in use, you really need headphones to enjoy it in anything but a silent room.Overall:Love this thing. It's like the rest of the Pocket Operator line are an 80s electronic band and the Robot is the lead guitarist stepping onstage with a keytar. You can really make some rocking lead parts with this unit, as it has more options to fade in sound creating the sort of haunting guitar/synth sound that layers so well on top of the lo-fi drums and bass from the other units. This is a big recommendation for anyone who already owns another Pocket Operator- take your gigs to the next level.If you can only afford one:While the Robot is great, it's meant to sit alongside other units. The most complete unit for a kid to play with, or for an aspiring musician, is the PO-20 Arcade. The Arcade hits the best balance of rhythm and lead so you can make songs on the train. The other big recommendation is that the PO-32 Tonic, which has integration to the Microtonic software meaning professional music producers adore its added flexibility.

I have a handful of POs and this one is my favorite even though two of my collection have built in mics for sampling. This one is great for creating Nine Inch Nails style industrial drum grooves. It's got a really unique sound and it operates differently than any other Pocket Operator I've ever used. This is one I still need to learn to get the most out of it whereas the others have pretty much the same sorts of key combinations and functions to do similar things. The Solo functionality isn't really useful to me but as I learn to use it it may and the parameter locks and effects are very cool. This was out of stock for a long time and I get why. I would not be surprised if this were the most popular pocket operator.
