Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO32 Tonic

Take your drum machine on the road and literally keep in your pocket thanks to the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-32 Tonic. This smartphone-sized drum machine includes 16 preset sounds that you select with the touch of a button. The simple black-and-white, animated LCD display screen shows you what's happening within the device at any given moment. The beauty of this equipment is that you connect it to other devices using a built-in microphone in front of an amplifier or a cable for a sturdier connection.

Record knob movements and effects on top of the beat thanks to intuitive, one-button controls on the surface of the interface. Connect with the Microtonic VST/AU to tweak the internal parameters in weird ways to produce interesting sounds for your audience. For instance, you can chop a beat into smaller segments to make it sound like bouncing balls. That's just one way this device stands out as unique compared to other drum machines.

The PO-32 has a removable lock tab for write protection of patterns you have saved in the device. The manufacturer increased the hanger strength for extra durability. Look on the backside of unit to see some useful combo reminders.
