Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO32 Tonic

Never before has a drum machine that sounds this good with literally endless sound capabilities been set at a price this low. Meet PO-32 tonic, the new gold standard drum machine. And yes, it comes in a gold plated cardboard box.

PO-32 is the first pocket operator which allows unlimited sounds. In addition to the 16 preset sounds, you can use sonic charge microtonic vst to craft your own unique sounds and transfer them wirelessly to PO-32 with the built-in microphone, or alternatively by using a cable.

PO-32 inherits the playful approach to music-making from the earlier pocket operators. Owners of the PO-10 and -20 series will recognize the way you can record knob movements and effects on top of the beat. The 16 effects in PO-32 tonic are all simply tweaking the internal parameters of microtonic in weird ways and doing things like chopping up the beat, making it sound like bouncing balls etc. the effects are pretty extreme but still musically useful. PO-32 has a built-in microphone for transferring and receiving data over sound. it also has a removable lock tab for write protection of patterns. The hanger strength is increased for extra durability, and on the backside of unit there are some useful combo reminders.
