Not as easy to pick up as the first set of PO's but just as much fun, great lil pocket synth with very big sounds once hooked up to a proper sound system.
Great little synth to create neat classic 80s video game tracks
Musically speaking, it's not the most powerful synth in the world, and it has many limitations (eg you can't do sustained notes, notes are mostly limited to the chord you set the pattern to, everything is cemented into 16 beat sequences)
Having grown tired of my soft synth drum machines I wanted to invest in a hardware analog drum machine
Not to mention $60 dollars is a great deal for the amount of time you're going to get out of this!
They make a silicone case for each model, but they retail at $40, which significantly increases the cost of the device without really providing a great deal of additional protection
I think it's a really unique product with a great deal of application

Using chords numbered 1-16 (each number corresponds to a preset chord, like Dm, Em, Esus, E, F, G, C/G, etc.), you can program a chord progression up to (I believe
I'd recommend the Arcade for instance if someone wants to compose songs while riding the bus, assuming they like early videogame music
Teenage Engineering leads the industry in creating electronic music instrument layouts, and their genius is shown wonderfully in their Pocket Operater series, especially this Arcade
The PO-20 Arcade is a super fun and different way to make music,

The click track syncs pretty well to almost any other synth that can output a click, so it should work in most environments

However, external audio signals through the Pocket Operators seems very muted, but the "sync" works like a champ!The Pocket Operators sync well with Korg's Volcas, but the Volca synchronization pulse is constant.

I did not have much success "sync"-ing with an Arturia BeatStep Pro or Akai Professional's Rhythm Wolf, Tom Cat, or Timbre Wolf's gate outputs.

Awesome device, be sure to refer to the website for easy to read instructions.
This device, and the fun I immediately had with it, led to me picking up the PO-16 Factory and the PO-20 Arcade
I don't think this would have been a very useful device if it were just a static sample player with 16 sounds, but you can actually vary the pitch, aggressiveness, and other qualities of each instrument quite a bit (and automate those changes through a sequence).
The device is extremely fragile as it is just an electronic board with exposed switches
It's an amazing device with great sounds and capability, easily worth 5 stars, however, the instructions are too small to read and too difficult to assimilate
The product is amazing however it gets boring after extended use (months) the capabilities are slightly limitited with the sound variation but the chords and drone effect make up for it.
I recommend the additional investment in a protective case because it will do away with your worries about breaking the product - and it makes it look even cooler
The actual product is great, but Cascio Insterstate Music put a large ugly white barcode sticker on the box
The product isn't cheap, and within a 2 days I realized I'm not the audience for this product
overall really awesome product just got bored with it to fast
These things are so much fun, I got my monies worth but at less than a year and dead how could I recommend this over another well built product?I almost want to buy it
Even if built-in speaker is clear and loud for what it is
The unit looks flimsy, but it really is pretty well built even without it having any sort of protective case or shell on it
We can try to bend the components with pliers but the flimsy build quality does not inspire much confidence that it will survive.
While it looks like a circuit board, it’s incredibly well built and sounds amazing through headphones
The PO-20 Arcade is a super fun and different way to make music,
Not as easy to pick up as the first set of PO's but just as much fun, great lil pocket synth with very big sounds once hooked up to a proper sound system.
As I stated in the other review, these Pocket Operators are extremely fragile (and, hence, not really "pocket"-friendly), but for only $60 they pack amazing functionality and endless fun into a very affordable package
This thing is crazy fun
It's pretty damned fun, but the instructions could be a bit more clear.
You punch the buttons on this crazy looking computer chip thing, objects on the screen dance to the music, and you're surrounded by crunchy and crisp 8-bit sounds of nostalgia
They may be the best thing on the market for playing with music
I wanted to give this five stars really badly as there is literally nothing wrong with it at all i love this thing but the only reason i didnt give it five stars was because i found myself getting bored with it super
These things are a pain in the a@@. Sounds is really poor quality
This thing is undeniable FRAGILE, but at least in my impressions of it, everything seems to function pretty well.

Who needs fancy frills like an outer case, when you've got the solid drum sounds, killer effects, and intuitive sequencing Teenage Engineering's Pocket Operator PO-12 rhythm machine has to offer? Onboard this streamlined PC board, you'll find access to 16 tweakable drum sounds, a 16-step sequencer with 16 chainable patterns, and 16 effects you can use to sweeten things up
Components such as a Silicon Labs EFM32 Gecko MCU, a Cirrus Logic DAC, and a Knowles speaker deliver high-quality sound that even raise once-skeptical eyebrows among electronic-music enthusiasts
Plus, the Pocket Operator PO-12 runs so efficiently on just a pair of AAA batteries, that its standby time is measured in years
What's more, the PO-12 and the rest of the Pocket Operator line can sync to one another (and many other modular synths) over 1/8" cables, so you can integrate them into a larger tabletop rig.
