The New Gold Standard Pocket Drum Machine: Teenage Engineering PO-32 tonic
The Teenage Engineering PO-32 tonic is a powerful and compact drum and percussion synthesizer that you can take anywhere. Small enough to fit in your pocket and powered by AAA batteries, this pocket operator is packed with real synthesizer engines, a sequencer, and 16 punch-in effects. The PO-32 tonic brings a new level of creativity and fun to beat-making.
What makes the PO-32 tonic truly unique is its collaboration with Sonic Charge, allowing it to host the renowned microtonic drum synthesizer engine. In addition to the 16 preset sounds, you can use the microtonic VST (sold separately) to craft your own unique sounds and transfer them wirelessly to the PO-32 using its built-in data-transfer microphone.
With parameter locks, a step multiplier, and the ability to chain up to 64 patterns, the creative possibilities are endless. The PO-32 features an animated LCD display, a built-in speaker, and a folding stand. For ultimate flexibility, you can sync it with other pocket operators and external gear. It’s a complete drum machine in the palm of your hand.
