Oscar Ahlgren, Development Project Manager for the Pocket Operators project at Teenage Engineering, gives us a quick overview of the PO-16 Factory, PO-14 Sub and PO-12 Rhythm lead, bass and drum synthesizers.
Pocket Operators all feature onboard 16-step sequencers with parameter locks and 'jam sync with audio through' functionality, where a single cable synchronizes clock and transport across PO units while also summing their audio outputs.
PO-12 Rhythm has both synthesized and sampled drum sounds, and its sequencer supports individual step retries and fills.
PO-14 Sub houses multiple real synthesizer engines, including FM, subtractive synthesis, wavetable and physical modeled strings. Its sequencer comes equipped with 16 'punch-in bass oriented play styles.'
PO-16 Factory, too, has multiple real synthesizer engines, including FM, subtractive synthesis, wavetable and physical modeled strings. Its sequencer has 16 punch-in arpeggio and chord play styles.
All three Pocket Operators have 16 onboard effects including delay, bitcrusher and filters. Each also has an auto compressor and hardware limiter.
