This thing is amazing. The entire Teenage Engineering product line is unbelievable. The PO-12 is the perfect addition to my instrument collection. I use it for writing, recording and practicing music. When you put your mind to it, you can get some very interesting and progressive rhythms. When you start incorporating the PO-12 with other sequencers, rhythm machines and musicians, the options are infinite. I'll social distance wrestle anyone that disagrees. Haha!

I bought this as a gift and it was so heavily damaged I was facing a new purchase. I quickly cancelled my repeat purchase fearful it wouls be damaged. I reached out to a local company...better price, but it came highly recommended by musicians in the touring world. Get it, but not from Amazon.

Sent a message to merchant, still unresolved. Within the first few days it started crashing when trying to change volume or tempo. Teenage Engineering support is unhelpful, as it was purchased through a third party

So much fun! Perfect for my 12 yr old son who loves to mix beats. There are tons of super easy tutorials online and is easy to figure out how to use.

Excellent for learning the art of sequencing

If I were allowed to swear I would. This device is brilliant. If I explain why I bought it you'll see what hole it fills. This is important as if you want something super basic this is not for you; if you want something with every bell and whistle out there, this is not for you eitther. Right, here we go: I have played on iPhone apps that allow you to sequence drum machines. They are fun but they all seem a little too basic and far off what a professional may use. They also do not 'feel' like a good stepping stone into music production. So I wondered what to go for. I checked out software first. There seemed to be lots out there ranging in price and complexity. I was reluctant to go out and buy some software that would just put me off for life. You know what I mean: you go and buy photoshop pro, try to draw a circle and find you have to spend four hours on Google to learn how to do it! I did not want the photoshop pro version of music sequencing; I did not want to have to boot up the computer sit at a table with a mouse (and possibly a keyboard) to get going. I wanted something the size of an iPhone that I could just grab and make music. Then along came this bad boy: the pocket operator. Before you read on check out YouTube to see what people have done with it. When you link it up with another (or even more) you can get some real professional music laid. How easy it is: I am gonna be honest. It was not intuitive for me. You can't just open it and get stuck in. I struggled to even play around to work out what things did. This may not be the case if you have experience of this sort of thing; the symbols (pun intended) may mean something to you. I was a little frustrated but remembered why I bought it. I wanted something a little more professional that a simple iPhone app. And that was gonna require a little learning. So I put the work in. If you have peace you can become proficient with its use in about an hour. You may need to refer back to the instructions to remind you how to do some if it but it is actually relatively simple. I would advice learning one function then spending a few minutes playing with it then moving on. The hard part is actually making a good track. But then if that was easy we would all be pop stars! The internal speaker is not brilliant but it is much better than I was expecting so don't let that put you off; with earphones its perfect. It takes two AA batteries and is constantly on. There is no off button but this does not matter. To my understanding most of the screen is just for show but some of it does help. All the LEDs near each button all mean different things depending on what you are doing. I found it a little confusing at first but quickly got the hang of it. So, if you are looking to put your foot in the water - get this; it is wicked. I was picking my wife up from somewhere the other day. I arrived early so killed 15 minutes in the car with the Operator, wrote a little track and smiled. Boom! I read that the Rhythm was was the best to get if you were just getting one. It is not just a drum machine; you can get melody on your tracks to.

Quality gadget, good for someone who is musical.

My (14yr old) son loves this. Firstly, its a breath of fresh air to have a bit of 'back to basics' in a gadget. Full marks for going to market with something that requires no network connection, no login details, no online updates, no boot-up delay. Good simple old-skool plug in some batteries and go! You can build up some quite complex rhythms with this. It ships with minimal instructions. As other reviewers have said, it does take a while to get your head around it. Fortunately there are lots of good guides on YouTube. Do allow for spending at least an hour with this, whilst watching YouTube, before casting judgement on it. We did, and without hesitation now give it 5-stars.

I wish I had these back in the late 80's early 90's

Teenage Engineering deserve high praise for what they're doing with the Pocket Operators. There is truly nothing better to while away the time on long train or plane journeys. In the 80's a device that can do what the PO12 does would have cost well over a thousand pounds. I've been programming drums and percussion loops for a long time now so it only took half an hour to learn all the functions and to get my head around the step writing system. Adding effects and bleeps with the ability to record the filtering/pitch live was a genius idea for this device, it turns what could have been just a drum machine into so much more. Getting the batteries in and out took a bit of getting used to. I'm still discovering and playing with some of the features like swing, copying patterns, playing groups of patterns. A great device at a reasonable price.

Rhythm and Sub

They're fantastic, addictive and great fun! Downside, the Instructions are basic and you will need to watch some U tube vids. Many of these are not very good, people showing off and not explaining, but there are some good ones. 3/4 minutes don't bother, look for 10/15 minutes. The POs power down after 5 minutes inactivity, EXCEPT if there’s an audio cable plugged into the IN jack and then it’s 60 minutes. This flattens the battery MUCH quicker! I had a Rhythm and a Sub chained together, the Rhythm last in the chain with a cable in the IN jack. After 3 weeks the Sub battery is 94% and the Rhythm 43%. DON’T leave them chained together! Press Sound + BPM for battery % remaining. Swapping the dying batteries around I found the POs are on the edge of giving up at around 40% The on board speaker, well it works, it’s OK, headphones are better, but get some amplification, I play mine through a guitar amp, awesome!

Surprisingly Deep

I ordered this on a whim, and my initial thoughts were that it was a bit ‘meh’- an interesting toy, and little more. Then I watched a short YouTube video by Red Means Recording and it became apparent just how deep this thing actually is. My next step was to run in through my Pignose amp, and that gave the sounds the meatiness that had been lacking from the puny onboard speaker, and then I ran it into AUM with a bunch of fx- and it was awesome. To be honest, it does have a limited palette of sounds , but that which it does have are pretty adjustable, and it stands comparison with any other hardware drum synth out there for under £50. Oh, and unlike some synths out there, it syncs well with other hardware. Worth the investment.

You can use the built-in speaker for instant sound. The 3.5mm output jack works with headphones and external speaker systems. With three different ways to listen, you can choose the ideal experience to explore your creativity.
This pocket operator also works as a 16-step sequencer. It is equipped with 16 patterns and offers a maximum of 16-pattern chaining. A pattern consists of 16 steps. As your sequence plays out, the animations on screen move and groove to the beat.
The onboard clock is one of the pocket operator's quirky features. Use the alarm clock to rouse you from long jamming sessions. To set the alarm clock, press the sound + pattern buttons and turn the A knob for hours and the B knob for minutes. Then press any 1-16 keys to confirm. Turning the A knob all the way down disables the alarm.
Make music anywhere you go with the ultra-portable pocket operator. The small music device offers a multitude of studio-quality sounds. PO-12 is so compact it can fit right inside your jeans pocket. It has compact 1.8" x 3.5" x 4.9" overall dimensions.
