Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator (Synth & Sequencer)

Arcade synthesizer and sequencer

The PO-20 arcade features 16 synthesis-based video game, console, and chiptune sounds that are controlled via the integrated step sequencer. The pocket synthesizers from Swedish cult manufacturer Teenage Engineering have no casing, so all components and the circuit board are directly visible and part of the design. Power is supplied by two standard (AAA) micro batteries. In addition, each pocket operator has an animated LCD display, a built-in speaker, bent wire stand, Jam Sync for synchronizing with other devices, line inputs and outputs (3.5 mm jack), and, conveniently, an integrated alarm clock. Parameter Lock allows you to record automations per step. Effects include filter, bit crusher, delay, and stutter.
