Leí en algunas reseñas que el empaquetado era insuficiente para un producto tan frágil y mi mayor temor era que llegara dañado. Afortunadamente no fue así. Sin embargo, para mí sí es un punto en contra que utilicen un simple sobre, porque me gustaría comprar más POs.En cuanto al KO, es verdad que hasta hay aplicaciones de teléfono como Koala Sampler que hacen lo mismo o más, pero el límite de este bebé realmente está en la imaginación de quien lo use. De hecho, algunas limitaciones como la del tiempo de grabación lo vuelven un reto para la creatividad. Además, la satisfacción de picar botones físicos es única, y ni hablar del diseño. Su falta de carcasa lo hace más llamativo y es más pequeño de lo que se ve en fotos. Las baterías que le puse no han bajado nada en dos días, eso ha sido una grata sorpresa. Recomiendo ver algunos tutoriales porque no se domina a la primera. Una vez entendido, créanme que pasarán mucho tiempo jugando con él. Yo pienso llevarlo conmigo al trabajo para mis ratos libres.

Me salió defectuoso el producto

Desde luego te pasas horas jugando con el bichito y salen resultados únicos y verdaderamente inesperados (a veces bien, otras no, algunas veces crea aliens únicos e irrepetibles que yo de ti guardaría en un Daw externo, foraster@). Parece un juguete pero no, nada de eso. Soy músico con 30 años de sintetización y este chiquitín se ha ganado mi respeto por su magnífica versatilidad a pesar de sus lógicas cortedades dado su precio (no esperéis calidad de sonido de grabación, es un lo/fi muy lo/fi). En resumen: horas de experimentación con un aparatito que verdaderamente puede dar un guiño personal a tu música. Super contento.

I hereby declare the need in our lovely planet earth for a special edition PO with phonemes from the MIKUVERSE to grace our ears in syllables galore! Wondaful device, clever, smart, teenage, pocketable, playable, sharable, snackable, so many good things about this... leaving me with just one great big desire, which is ANOTHER ONE with the cool benefit of HATSUNE MIKU voice samples instead of the (very good) default set which is contained within this awesome unit. If you look at youtube you'll find many people who say this is THE best pocket operator because it's totally unique in the music world. Nothing quite like it!

Tuve la grata sorpresa de recibir un equipo 100% funcional a pesar de las malas experiencias de algunos compradores del mismo en la página.Muy entretenido, se requiere de algunas horas de practica.

Gran aparato sintetizador

MUY BUEN PRODUCTO DE CALIDAD, REALMENTE ES DE MAXIMA CALIDAD !!!!

Il PO-33 mi ha veramente stupito. Piccolo e leggerissimo, sembra un giocattolo, ma non lasciatevi ingannare... Non lo è affatto! L'oggettino è un campionatore (ha un mic integrato, un line-in e un line-out) con sequencer e permette di creare beat anche molto complessi. I 16 pad che permettono di suonare, sono suddivisi in due sezioni: "Melodic", dedicata ai suoni che vorrete suonare su una scala cromatica per creare appunto linee melodiche e "Drum" per i suoni di batteria e percussioni. La polifonia è a 4 voci, cioè potrete utilizzare fino a quattro campioni che suonano sovrapposti contemporaneamente, ma c'è da precisare che nella sezione Drum ad ogni pad viene assegnato un intero drum set composto da 16 suoni percussivi, che però corrispondono ad un solo campione; questo comporta che che non potrete, da un unico drum set, suonare contemporaneamente due suoni sovrapposti (es. una cassa e un hi-hat) per farlo dovrete scegliere il secondo suono da un altro drum set. I campioni precaricati in fabbrica non sono entusiasmanti, ma utili per muovere i prami passi con lo strumento e capirne il funzionamento prima di passare a campionare ed elaborare i vostri suoni. Per chi volesse sperimentare da subito con altri sample packs già pronti all'uso, sul sito della casa produttrice potrete scaricarne un paio niente male a questo indirizzo: teenage.engineering/downloads/po-33Insomma, se quello che cercate è uno strumento realmente tascabile per poter campionare e creare beat ovunque vi troviate, questo è quello che fa per voi.

Muy Buen Sampler,

Product is what I ordered but, arrived partially defective because of horrible packaging. It should've been shipped in a box and NOT an envelope. And of course there are no refunds. Rather frustrated as it is not exactly the cheapest little gadget.

Muy buen “Drummachine” por el precio y mas Microtonic tienes varias opciones para experimentar, lo unico que no me agrado fue que el mio empezo a mostrar rastros de oxidacion en varios botones (particularmente el de FX) tal vez solo sea falla de el que yo compre.

I have the PO-12 Rhythm and a few of the other melodic Pocket Operators from this series. The PO-32 Tonic is just better than those other devices. What makes this unit interesting (and arguably worth the $30 higher starting price) is that it's not sample player, but more like a stripped-down version of an analog drum machine stuffed into a microcomputer the size of a credit card.For some background, the "full" version of this sound engine is MicroTonic - a PC and Mac-based drum machine plug in first released in December of 2003. Not only does the PO-32 Tonic operate a simpler version of MicroTonic, but the designers of that program collaborated on the production of the PO-32, and it is capable of loading sound patches and pattern data if you have the full paid desktop version (costing $100). MicroTonic actually looks like a great program, but I didn't much interest in buying a $100 VST to use with a $89 drum machine.But as it turns out, I don't think you have to be a MicroTonic owner to appreciate what the Tonic does. It ships with 16 different instrument sounds, and as with the other Pocket Operators, these actually can be pitched and morphed with both the A/B modifier knobs and an even-more-awesome collection of 16 effects that can be applied live or on a per-step basis. The performative aspects of the Pocket Operators and implementation of effects are arguably the strong point of these devices, and the Tonic is the best example yet of that. Along with distortion, bit crush, and filter sweeps, there are several time based "delay" and stutter effects, including a crazy accelerating delay that sounds like a bouncing rubber ball.However, since the patch transfer is accomplished by fax-style data bursts (either through a built in mic or direct line transfer), you can back up your own data as 30-second data bursts, or grab other data bursts off of YouTube or SoundCloud. So, while you won't have the ability to customize your own sounds, you can still expand the palette of the PO-32 with a surprisingly effective transfer method (I tried it a few dozen times without reading the instructions too closely and it worked every time - both from PC and from smartphone). The Tonic sound engine seems impressively powerful and varied. I've heard patches that run the full range from classic analog drum machines (808/909/etc), to more driven, electro-style kicks and blips, to almost acoustic-sounding drum sets.All the normal caveats for Pocket Operators apply - these things are small and they are FRAGILE. The failure point that concerns me the most are the super thing metal tabs that hold the AAA batteries in place. If those begin to fatigue and no longer hold pressure, I assume my PO's will be done. The PO-32 has a workflow that isn't necessarily intuitive from the instructions, but there's actually quite a bit of depth there and you pick it up over time. Same goes for the pulse/CV synchronization with other hardware. It took a bit of trial and error and watching some YouTube videos to get each device in the proper mode, but it did work well after that (except for the problem that devices earlier in the chain are significantly more quite than those closer to the output).Minor gripes aside, there are some seriously great sounds in the PO-32 Tonic. I think the melodic Pocket Operators are more limited because they really suffer from limited scaling and no MIDI or external note sequencing capabilities. But the PO-32, like the PO-12 before, is a self-contained drum machine, and an extremely fun one at that.
