Teenage Engineering PO-133 Street Fighter Pocket Operator - Capcom special edition sampler/synth

I have quite a few drum machines from a maschine plus, novation circuit, kolg volva beats and the pocket operator so I I have a pretty good idea about where this fits into the mix.It's way more powerful than it looks. It's really possible to do some quite complex things on this with only the few settings that you have. For example, yes it's a 16 step sequencer so it's quantized but if you way to have something non quantized you could shift where you trim the same at for example to get it to a microstep.The storage space on it is a bit limiting so it makes you really conserve the space you have. Longer samples for example may be hard to work with. There is a way to back it up to a sound file if you want to though which is nice to have.Recording in it is very easy. The build in mic is ok but record from line in for much better results.The battery life is great so expect a few weeks of continuous use out if 2 battering.The only negative thing I have to say is that the dials are really terrible. It makes it so hard to trim a clip for donfine adjustments. Some people have soldered different ones on that are better quality but I've bit tried it.Get the outrageously expensive case to go with it since it will save your fingers if you use it a lot.Sound quality is good but don't expect high end audio. I've found that if you get a good recording of a sample on it the quality is quite good but this just lends it's self to the type of music it can create.For comparison you can do more on this than a Kirk volca beats and it fits in your pocket. It's actually really good for just jamming and playing live

Si estás dudando en cogerla, adelante. Es impresionante la enormidad de cosas que puedes hacer. A mí me costó un poco aprender a usarla pero en youtube hay muchos tutoriales que enseñan todas las funciones. Cuando descubres todas las opciones se te abre un mundo creatívo gigantesco, es un no parar.Recomiendo usarla con pilas recargables.

I have an sp-404 and a digitakt and this is like the micro version of those. It's so easy to just throw in your pocket and take along everywhere. When I plug it into my aux-in portable speaker, I can use it as a metronome/basic beat when I jam on acoustic instruments. I love that it has an in-built microphone for sampling. It's such a beautifully made device. I wish they'd make a pro-audio version of this with a higher sample rate and bit depth like 16bit or 24bit or something, they could charge twice as much and I'd bet lots of people would still be interested. The only limitation that this has is the audio is a bit meh. But regardless, it's so fun to just try out different things and create some kind of concept demo. A+ for the great minds at Teenage Engineering.

Ottimo prodotto che non ha da invidiare i sui fratelli maggiori, veramente versatile e pratico programmazione intuitiva e grazie all'aiuto del display si ha una buona efficienza visuale della traccia programmata. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Sure, there’s software and other hardware that do the same stuff as the P.O. and some of them have more features. However, I think that the overall design, including the limitation, of this device are a perfect mix for creative people who want to create outside a studio or without screens. Get a cover and you can take this thing almost anyplace.
