Small enough to fit in your pocket and powered by a pair of AAA batteries, the PO-20 Pocket Operator Arcade Synthesizer by Teenage Engineeringfeatures real synthesized arcade, drum, and chip-tune sounds with 16 punch-in effects including solo chords, filters, fill-ins, glitches, and arpeggios. The synthesizer parameters can be locked, while a 16-step sequencer, which holds 16 patterns in memory, can be chained into a song with up to 128 patterns. An integrated clock and alarm clock expand the creative possibilities of the instrument. A jam-sync function with 3.5mm audio in and out connections allows for multiple synthesizer units to be linked together.

Using high-quality components with low-power consumption, the synthesizer is cleverly designed with a Silabs EFM 32 Gecko CPU, a Cirrus Logic DAC, and a Knowles speaker placed under a novel animated LCD on a single circuit board. A foldout stand makes it easier to play and rear panel speaker solder terminals allow you hook up the unit to a larger sound system. An optional tailor-made silicone pro case (sold separately) adds anti-slip feet, battery protection, and professional-feel buttons to this very unique music-making device.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The 1/4 TS outputs, do the channels stay broken out so one is the right channel (ring) and the other the left (tip)? Or, do the L/R channels combined and thus both 1/4s are the same, mono version of the input?

A: The teenage engineering Field Audio Cable 3.5mm to Dual 1/4" splits a stereo audio signal to separate left and right mono channels, not dual mono where the audio is the same on both sides.

Q: 2. Play from Amazon music iPad app?

A: teenage engineering OD-11 Wireless Cloud Speaker (Black) ,BH #TE007AS002AU, will access Apple Airplay and Apple Music, iTunes from the iPad app. The OD-11 works out of the box with AirPlay on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Q: 3. Does the OP-1 Field fit in this case with the Decksaver on it?

A: No. The teenage engineering Large Bag is designed to hold the OP-1 Field Portable Synthesizer Workstation by itself, without the Decksaver cover. When the Decksaver cover is attached to the OP-1, it is too thick to fit inside the case.

Q: 4. Is there a stand for this speaker?

A: Hello, The OD-11 wireless cloud speaker is designed to be on the floor. It also sounds best placed near a wall.

Q: 5. Hi - Is it possible to save/export your loops and beats to other hardware and software? Many thanks, Dave.

A: At this time exporting and transferring data from the PO-12 to an external device is not possible.

Q: 6. what is the pass code to connect via wi fi?

A: There are several different ways to configure the OD-11 to connect with your network via wifi. Please see the link to the online setup and follow the instructions for your particular setup: https://a href= http://teenageengineering.com/guides/od-11 target= _blank teenageengineering.com/guides/od-11/a

Q: 7. Can the OP-1 field fit in the case with the decksaver cover?

A: The teenage engineering Large Duty Bag for OP-1 was designed to hold the teenage engineering OP-1 Field Portable Synthesizer Workstation by itself and may not be large enough to support the thickness of the OP-1 with the Decksaver Cover attached.

Q: 8. how long does the battery last?

A: This is not a documented specification. Battery life will be dependent upon the volume setting and the quality of battery used.

Q: 9. What version of Bluetooth is the spec?

[0.15 lb] After watching some YouTube guides, I was up and running with this thing on day one. Cool selection of drum and melodic sounds to make fun chiptunes. The chord feature is really cool too. This has got me hooked on the pocket operators for sure. You definitely don't need to be a musician for this. Definitely a good companion for a flight. 5

[0.15 lb] I bought this for my younger son as a birthday gift, but we're having a hard time sharing. This thing is so capable, so fun, that we can't stop playing with it. So many great sounds and effects, along with the chord features, make this synth a powerhouse relative to its diminutive size. The design is excellent, the sound is excellent, the whole thing is a home run. Nice work, Teenage Engineering! 5

[2 Years] I love that you can layer chords with the sequences using this piece of electronics. The must-have PO! 5

[0.15 lb] Such a fun little synth, it features 8bit style sounds, great for bringing back some nostalgia from favorite videogames. B&H was also very quick with their shipping process, highly recommend. 5
