Thats the only one I bought and I keep hearing that. I feel like its not a good first choice. Too complicated. I want to just hit buttons and make my own backing tracks.
After watching too many explain the PO's badly, this video revived my interest in them. Really good explanations and demonstrations of each and every one. Good work.
Another huge difference between the Robot po-28 and the megman po-128 is the megaman lets you use three programmed layers and one live instead of the robot’s limited 2 layers and one live
The Robot has two programmed layers (melodic and drum) plus one to play melodic live. The Megaman has in addition a layer for bass sounds, wich is apparently an extra layer, but the fact is when you try to play live over them, the same programmed layer (melodic or bass) is muted. The Robot instead can play live melodic over melodic sequence.
Thanks for this. Was looking for a video just like this. I have the PO-12 and the others are neat, but I’m not sure there is much for me. The street fighter and mega man ones would be a great nostalgic novelty, though!
Po32 Tonic is so good that I purchased 3 of them in the month following my first purchase. 3 for various rigs, 5 for friends. Magnus Lidström’s is an amazing dev. One spin around his plugin microtonic and I knew that every producer in my phone book as getting a po-32 for Christmas. He also made the CwO filter on op-1. Sonic Charge x TE forever
Looking for some input from you guys: I am planning to buy a PO-33 for myself, but I'd like to get a model for my girlfriend as well. What model would work well with the PO-33 but is also capable to put together cool electro tracks on its own? Ty
The PO 20 Arcade has the chord mode which allows you to write some really great sounding patterns with the chiptune voices. This would contrast well with the PO 33 KO sampler. The two synced together would make a feature packed combination with endless possibilities. I have the PO 20 Arcade, PO 33 KO and PO 35 Speak.
Id love to have these but they seem way over priced i just cannot justify getting one. If they were about £10 each though id get the lot and i know id have a lot if fun
£10?!?!? You're not asking for much are you? 😉 They aren't 'cheap', but given the amount of tech they contain and how portable they are, they are certainly worth a bit more than £10. You can barely get a takeaway for that amount money these days, never mind something like these bits of kit.
@@jaysmith2858 at the moment, to have them all would be worth over £800 aparrently. An MPC is cheaper and does way more, and is more portable than a bag full of pocket operators. I still want them tho they look fun. They are just too much £££ 😢😢
@@jaysmith2858 I personal have never chained more then 5. Which is the max with the sync feature. I have seen people use up to 10 in a chain. The pocket operators internal clock is really exact. So you can sync them threw a beat match. I have done this with DJing my PO patterns using the pocket mixer.
Hands down the best overall presentation of TE magic operators👍 I aim to buy the PO-32 Speak soon. Well done👏
The PO-33 is for me the best Pocket Operator!

Po20 and po33

Wish you would talk more about the PO-32's data transfer feature and usage with microtonic, I'm interested in that option

Didn't mention that the PO-32 Tonic has a microphone and can swap out its samples with VST (compared to the PO-12 Rythm)
Could you add the PO-137?
Could you add your Mom?

Excellent overview, the best out there!
Great comparisons!
Sub and Factory are MSRP $60. Office is $50; Robot $70; Rest are $100. Hopefully by the time you read this, they're back in stock.
I've heard speculation that they've been discontinued. .Teenage Engineering isn't commenting on it either
Great review. Arcade and Megaman
Best PO explanation ever.
Now I want one of each.
Same here. I thought this video will help me decide not make it more difficult.
So do these things need the user to create the tunes or are they built in? Some canny banging beats like 👌
Are these beginner friendly? I have no experience in music production or mixing, would I have trouble using these correctly?
No. Just get one and start fucking around.
Great video 💪🏼

so microtonic really good for the po32? Cant see myself pay more for additional software then i did for the gadget.

Po33 goes well with the tonic or rhythm in my opinion. Both are technically drum machines
@@calebreitman7412 thanks for the tip, I'm leaning towards the po-32 atm.

The finished song sounds like David Guetta. I have a K.O! and am thinking of buying a speak. I'm also interested in Capcom collaboration models.
Amazing video ❤️
I favor the po 20
KO is the GOAT
amazing playing man
Whoa, haven’t been on in a while and you look different now.
Awesome
If only I could afford to buy them all at once.. I need ALL OF THEM! 😍
welp.... i want them all now-
only 2 collab POs in existance?
seem right to me
Same here
The PO-35 is sold out everywhere! /o\
they're all sold out... unless you know of a place?
to bad they don't sell them anymore now TE makes tables, beer and toy record players
You left out the limited edition Rick and Morty PO-137.
Well technically i guess it isn't available since it was limited.
Wtf are these
I'm so old
But synths are like, from the 80s. How fuckin old are we talking here
too bad you can't buy any of these new anymore for the most part :-/

I have 7 now. don't buy one or you will end up like me.
How do you link/chain them?
@@jaysmith2858 with a 3.5mm cable

those looks like a game, just for show, not a mini game featured,cant play right..?
Correct, you can’t play them. The visuals just react to different sounds
