note: this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class b digital device, PO-24 Office - a groovebox inspired by vintage office equipment. It combines both real samples of office hardware and original synthesizer engines. It has a solo function, which mutes all other parts for the duration of a 16 step pattern. It also includes a "step multiplier" which acts like a stutter effect, repeating the note. The PO-24's design is of typewriter. [17] [14] The KO was released slightly later than the initial range, and offers some rather special functionality. It’s a sample with a built-in microphone; you can record, tweak and sequence your own custom samples, from your own voice to an acoustic drum kit. It intelligently maps out drum samples, offers full sequencing, allows you to record effects into your sequence – huge creative potential.

PO-28 Robot - a lead synthesizer based on 8-bit sounds. It features 15 different lead synthesizer engines and a 16-part micro drum machine. It can be played live by using the buttons as a keyboard but also features a sequencer. The Robot has a glide function that can add portamento between notes or function as vibrato. Its design is of a robot arm. [14] [13] [15] seconds sample memory, step multiplier, 8 voice characters, 8 effects, transpose & change scale, replace drum sounds with microtonic (sold separately)

There are 4 editable parameters that can be used to adjust the sampled sounds, using the A and B knobs, and you can switch between them using the Fx button. The parameters are: while playing, hold FX and press any key from 9-15. if write mode is enabled, the effects will be saved in the pattern. to clear the saved effects, make sure write mode is enabled while holding FX + key 16.

parameter knobs, A (left) & B (right) are located below the screen on the right of the unit. They are used to modify parameters such as pitch, decay, bpm & swing etc. The targeted parameters depend on the mode that you're in or the sound you have selected. PO-14 Sub - a bass synthesizer [8] with 15 sounds that also includes a micro drum machine with 16 parts. You can play the sounds over two octaves using the buttons as a keyboard. [3] Its design is of a submarine. [7] Recording is as easy as you like. Just hold the Record button and any of the number keys 1–16 and what you record becomes the sound in that slot to be used in a pattern. For example, I used all of my creative resources to make my first recording, the word ‘one’ which I stored in location ‘1’. That’s a stark warning that’s hard to ignore, but once you’ve overcome that hurdle and done so anyway, you’ll be pleased to have a crunchy, lo-fi sampler and voice synth at your disposal. connect a standard stereo audio cable between the units. the master unit will control the tempo of the sync unit.

POM–400

Adding that sound with different pitches, from Barry White to a squealing pig, is as simple as placing it in a pattern location while twisting the left dial to adjust pitch. Start messing with the real time performance effects and you’ll have a jittery, slippery tune in no time. Never has so much fun been had within 30 seconds. by placing all vital and sensitive components under the LCD display there's no need for an outer case.

This one is great as a standalone music player, but it also has something special to offer when used as part of a larger music setup. Pros The screen sets a scenewithanimations that move and groove to your sequences. Italso displays some useful parameter information. The ‘write mode’ indicator is one of the most useful items on your display. It's worth noting is location, as this changes from unit to unit. Other than looking at the manual, the best way to find it is to toggle the 'write' button and observe where it appears / disappears from. Knowing whether you're in 'write' or 'perform' mode will always be useful, as you don’t want to accidentally overwrite your work! connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

PO-35

tweak a sound in microtonic (knob A on PO­-35 speak represents pitch, knob B represents morph) and press [the TE logo] on the interface to prepare for transfer. The PO-12 is a drum machine and sequencer with 16 sounds to choose from. The sounds are a combination of synthesized and sampled drum sounds, and the overall character is kinda old-school 808-style. You can save up to 16 patterns and switch between them on the fly. You can also apply and save effects to your patterns, as well as tweak the individual drum sounds to individualise your ideas. At first glance, there are quite a few buttons and controls to get to grips with. So here are some general tips and important bits that you should know: Know the specific type of synthesis used – analog modeling, FM, additive, etc. This affects the sonic character. The overall storage limits you to 120 seconds of sample time, which may seem little, but it’s more than enough space to create interesting sequences, especially combined with the onboard drum machine.
