PO-33 K.O. : Introduction to Teenage Engineering / Most Versatile PO

This is my first Pocket Operator and I have to say that I've spend some time having fun while playing with it !

The PO 33 is a perfect introduction to the world of drum machines and hardware sequencers.

Even though all these buttons and leds might seem a little disturbing at first for the newbie, the PO is quite easy to handle, plus there are tons of tutos on the internet.

The built in FX are nice (some of them amazing) and very nice thought to live jam with.

The built-in mic does its job when you create patterns with friends, just for fun. And actually this is why it's so cool: you can take it anywhere with you, record a few sample sounds and easily create a small chain pattern that sounds like a "mini track".

Also, the more POs the merrier, and it all becomes truly interesting when you link them together!

On the other side you have to buy separately the plastic case or be careful when transporting even though the built feels relatively sturdy.

2 of my non-musicians friends bought one after I showed them the tiny machine.
