Got the case bundle with the two inch long aux cords (which are just short enough to be really annoying) and case two days ago. Immediately put the case on and broke the screen the first time it was knocked to the floor. What’s the point of this $40 case if it doesn’t protect the flimsy screen at all? This tiny synth is going to be knocked the floor a lot, especially if you have your headphones plugged in. Expect the screen to be destroyed and the unit unusable within the first week. Trimming, seeing what fx is active, bpm and so on are all displayed in the screen so without that, I’m boned. Love it.

Don’t buy the $40 case, it won’t protect anything.

This is genius product. So much fun to play.

THE VOLUME ON SOME HEADPHØNES ARE SUPER LOW

As soon as I start messing with this little sampler, hours roll by. The sounds you can get out of it are amazing. I'm completely addicted.

I'm 43, I've been ad/hd my whole life. I'm musically inclined, but not a musician. This was recommended by a friend who worked in the industry, after watching some videos and self experimentation, this has become my new fidget spinner/ drug of choice. I don't have the knowledge or time to articulate its capabilities, but this thing is incredible. I have to limit myself to designated "tune times", otherwise i pick it up and 3hrs vaporizes. Way to go Teenage engineering!!

Not the most intuitive product. It takes a bit to really get used to the controls. It has some major limitations when it comes to making music on it as well. This all said, if you are looking to make finely polished songs, that is not what it is for. If you just enjoy sampling things and turning them into music for fun then it is great. I personally love just walking around my house or around town recording different noises and just seeing what I can come up with. If you are looking to use this to increase your music creating capabilities don't buy this but if you want something fun to play with, it is really a blast.

A cool mini sampler/sequencer. Nice to mess around with when out due to being able to record (and sample) directly on with the built in mic. Its good for creativity purposes on that end and maybe give you an idea for a song to expand on later but ultimately it’s still very limited in what it can do (ex: can only play 8 tracks at a time [4 melody/4 drum kits] and only 1 note/hit per step on each sound/kit). In conclusion, it is a very fun TOY to simply play on but can be a useful tool to help start creating song IDEAS on.

Pros All-in-one bite-sized performance samplers. The performance effects are so good. Parameter automation.
Cons KO! has a fixed scale for melodic samples. Need to keep two buttons held down while recording. Audio on the lo-fi side.

Fun-size sampling mayhem is the order of the day with the latest Pocket Operators.
Teenage Engineering’s latest three Pocket Operators push the format into new, more sophisticated territory with drum synthesis and sampling. Back in SOS December 2017 we reviewed the first of this new ‘Metal’ range , the PO-32 Tonic drum synth, which is a hardware condensation of Sonic Charge’s Microtonic VST plug-in. Now we’ve got our hands on the PO-33 KO!: the first Pocket Operator sampler, offering eight melodic sample voices and eight slice players. Also in our pockets is the PO-35 Speak, which is also a sampler but specialises in vocal sampling and voice synthesis.
Physically, the new POs appear identical to their predecessors, consisting of a phone-sized sliver of PCB with surface-mount screen and button grid on the front, and a battery clip and fold-out stand on the back. All delicate or static-sensitive components are housed safely behind the screen, but if you prefer a more traditional feel you can add the Pro Case, which gives you a rubber shell and button caps. The top hanger section can be snapped off.
Two 3.5mm jacks at the top corners provide for sampling input and audio output. The ports can be used for sync’ing multiple PO units or jam sync’ing to a click from another source, using one leg of the stereo connection for audio and the other for sync. Both models also have small (obviously) built-in mics and speakers, which are ideal for independent operation and general mucking about. This point was proven conclusively by the regular disappearance of the POs into my children’s bedrooms, after which I’d find my sound slots filled with YouTube meme phrases and — I’m truly sorry to report — bodily emissions.
Like the other POs, much of the screen is taken up with cartoon animations that play along with your patterns, but text and numeric fields around the edges provide useful feedback about modes and parameters. This can be reassuring as many functions are accessed with multi-button combinations that you need to memorise.
Basic operation of the PO-33 and PO-35 will be familiar if you’ve used any of the previous models, but otherwise takes a little getting used to. You work with one sound slot at a time, chosen by holding the Sound button and tapping one of the 16 number buttons. You can then either play it freeform using the number buttons as note/slice triggers, or you can step sequence it by entering Write mode and adding triggers within the 16-step sequence using the same buttons. Real-time pattern recording is also possible by holding down the Write button while tapping out notes.
Patterns are selected for playback or editing with the dedicated Pattern button, again in combination with one of the 16 main grid buttons. When playing back, Pattern recall takes effect at the end of the 16 steps. You can also queue up a chain of patterns to play back in sequence by pressing several buttons in succession. This is a temporary performance group rather than a full-blown song mode.
During playback you can apply momentary effects to the mixed output by holding the FX button and choosing from the FX pool via the grid. This is one of the most brilliant features of the Pocket Operators, giving you tons of real-time performance variation. The KO! has a full complement of 15 effect types while Speak, slightly disappointingly, has seven, as eight of the effects slots on the latter are used for the playback sound engine modes. Rather than traditional audio processors, the performance effects are designed for breaking up patterns with interesting variations and builds. The menu includes things like stutter, reverse, triplet shuffle and slow-down, etc.
Let’s look in a little more detail at the two models on test. The KO! offers two different sample capture and playback modes. The first eight sound slots play back a single sample each. Recording is initiated to a slot by holding the Record button and relevant sound button, and you need to keep these held during recording. This is a simple and immediate sampling method (as evidenced by the burps and worse of my progeny), but can be pretty awkward as you can’t use just a thumb. If you need a hand free for generating the sound from another source, you’ll need to put the PO down and hold the buttons with two fingers. There’s a total of 40 seconds of sample time available to share among the 16 slots, and the remaining time counts down on the screen during recording. Audio quality has a bit of a grungy edge with quantisation noise (especially evident on tones); I estimated 12-bit, but it’s apparently only 8-bit at 23.5kHz.
Once you have a sample you can offset its pitch with the first knob, effecting a simple speed change rather than stretch. Slots 1-8 can be played back melodically from the buttons. Some Pocket Operators, including the Speak, allow you to set a scale for the buttons, but the KO! doesn’t. Instead there’s a single fixed scale that you can use alongside the master offset. This doesn’t appear to be documented anywhere, but I eventually got the info care of Reddit. From the bottom-left corner the buttons play a minor scale but with both a natural and flat seventh, with the octave two buttons directly up. This allows you play a natural or harmonic minor scale, or a major scale depending on which button you start on. This is a bit restrictive (and the fact that it’s not explained was frustrating) but it’s actually pretty neat for fast and easy melody creation.
The two knobs control the current sound and can be cycled through three different parameter sets by tapping the FX button. The main default controls are Pitch and Volume. The second mode controls the sound’s filter. Knob A controls frequency and sweeps between a low-pass to the left of the centre position and high-pass to the right. Knob B controls Resonance. The third mode is Trim, providing simple sample editing capability. A sets the sample start positions, and B is the length. A nice feature is that when moving these controls the sample will trigger repeatedly to provide auditioning. Unfortunately the trim parameters can’t be parameter-locked/automated, or changed during playback, which would have been fun. I would have also loved to have seen a simple A-D envelope to extend the scope of sample manipulation.
Sound Slots 9-16 are used for slicing longer samples, so can be used for storing and playing back a set of sounds for non-melodic sequencing, such as drum kits, effects, or even loops if you took the time. Recording is the same: just hold Rec and one of the buttons. If you then play in a series of hits the KO! will automatically chop up the sample and assign slices to the buttons. It does this fairly successfully with short hits, but sounds with longer decays tend to get sliced on to several buttons. Each slice can then be trimmed manually within the overall sample. When you switch to Write mode you can sequence the last played slice, so to create a pattern from multiple slices you need to select one slice at a time, or record in real time. The whole slice group shares a single voice, but the sound slots give you a fast and simple way to create kits and drum parts.
Fifteen of Speak’s sound slots work along similar lines to the melodic samples on the KO!: you record a sample in, trim it as necessary and play it back using the buttons like a keyboard. In this case, however, the ‘keys’ can be reallocated to different scales and root no
