Review: Más barato que el PO-35 (que es prácticamente el mismo) pero este es de edición limitada para los que nos gusta Rick y Morty.
Review: I love this little thing. It sits somewhere between a real professional tool and a toy. It's very small and portable, battery life is pretty good, and it can make a wide range of sounds. Getting a whole track devoted to Tonic is a huge upside; the drum sounds are deep and customizable, and the sequencer is great. Biggest limiting factors are that you are limited in terms of the sounds you can apply to the samples, and also there is two-voice polyphony: one synth sound and one drum sound on any given step. However, despite these limitations, the possibilities are still pretty deep, and chaining patterns together in a pseudo-"song mode" is possible. Overall, for $100, it's a great buy for anyone who loves synthesizers and music production. I wouldn't recommend this to a first-time synth buyer but if you already have a collection and want something fun and diverting, this is the one to get.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which batteries does it use, how many, and how long can it last?**
A: Using the including batteries and frequently building loops and carrying the my po16 around in a bag (where it would frequently get turned on by being jostled) I got about 5 months. At the end, I thought that seeing it die meant I would lose all of my saved loops. That is not the case. Your patterns stay in memory unless you hold 2 buttons while replacing the batteries for a factory reset. Which is great because, swear to God, I made some str8 bangers. I'm buying a second one and can't decide between the KO! and the Arcade.

**Q: Is there a case for the arcade?  i see them for the others, but not po-20.**
A: I searched for one on the net and on amazon when I purchased this and I did not see one available as yet.  There are 3D printer case designs out there much much much cheaper...

**Q: What chord/cable do I need to plug into my computer to record from the pocket operator?**
A: I believe L and R are identical unless you're moving clock information. In that case L is clock and R is your audio. From what I've read, the POs are dual mono, which makes sense because there is a mono speaker. So, to answer the question, you need to plug a 3.5mm trs in your operator's right side (which is sending two signals and ground) and you can pick up either side (tip/ring or tip/sleeve) and send it into a single channel on your interface. Most interfaces are 1/4"ts, so a 3.5mmTRS stereo to dual 1/4" mono y cable m/m will work. If you're using your computer's onboard soundcard, 3.5mm trs to 3.5mm trs m/m will work. If your interface takes xlr, 3.5mm trs to male xlr.

**Q: What is the advantage of using something like this over just looking up loops like "Drums Only" on a streaming service?**
A: The advantage of using this is that you can quickly create the exact loops you want, instead of searching for something similar on the internet.
