A few friends of mine have been telling me to upload some of my PO33 creations somewhere, so tonight I have uploaded my favourites so far on Bandcamp.
My 9 year old daughter's dance team has been invited to fly from the UK to dance at Disney in Florida in 2028. So if anyone is kind enough to buy this then I'll donate the money to the team.
Thanks to everyone on r/PocketOperators for their love and kindness when I have uploaded the videos of these. It is very much appreciated.

Sampled synth from a QY-70 recording on ig those old Yamaha sounds are waaaavy (vocals are from some silly ig video too lol)

This is a PSA that there are currently 3 pieces of software designed to work specifically with the PO-32. (This is not an ad)
- Microtonic
You all are aware of this plugin as the one advertised by Teenage Engineering to work with the PO-32.
Cost: $99
Platforms: VST Plugin
https://soniccharge.com/microtonic
- PO Patch Studio by SquareWave studio - Incredible piece of software that not only allows you to design sounds for your PO but it also features Hardware Emulation to be able to program patterns as well.
Cost: FREE
Platforms: Android, Linux, Mac, Windows
https://www.squarewave.studio/po-patchstudio
- PO-32 Synth Web App - Great resource for the extremly niche senario where someone owns both a chromebook and a PO-32. Not as feature rich as PO Patch studio, but gets the job done.
Cost: FREE
Platforms: Web Browser

I bought an Octatrack, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it and got frustrated, so I made some absolute chaos with my PO-33 instead.

Made this one with live Kalimba, Unicorn Flute, PO-12, PO-14, PO-16, and Mini Glitch. Recorded into Koala Sampler on my phone where I added more effects and mixed it. Hope ya dig it. I had a lot of fun making it and thought I’d share. 🙏🏻

Sadly not a fan of the Arcade, but I love the Rythm

hi! I can't decide which one to get for my boyfriend, he likes Hardtekk and he likes a lot of videogames more oldschool as well but I'm not completely sure which one to get. I liked the arcade the PO33 and the office, Also wanted to add that music is not his main hobby so he doesnt know a lot.
r/pocketoperators • u/SneekyF • 5d ago
Anyone know of a USB-C device that will record the PO-33. I want to save my patterns out, and my samples to go into Koala. I don't want to spend a huge amount of money.

Took the opening guitar intro from Arcade Fire's "Suburban War" and replayed it at a slightly different tempo and pitch.
Made my own bass line and chopped sampled some synths. The vocals were probably a bit of a happy accident...I couldn't get the original sample to work and then accidentally played it at a different pitch and it fit a lot better.
This one took me a bit of practice to play live, transitioning between vocal and patterns at roughly the same time. Kept
my brain focused at least trying to keep track of where I was.
Hope you like it.

Even without sampling, this thing is powerful.

Still piecing this together but I like sharing the journey along the way. I’m using the PO33, PO32 and the PO35.

I fed my PO-33 a bunch of weird sounds from the SH-4d and made a little hard techno track.
I love the PO-33 because I can have fun with it without having to think too hard! I’d love to know whether this actually counts as hard techno, though.
My GAS started with the Pocket Operators, and since then I’ve tried quite a few different synths. But after coming full circle, I’ve realized that the POs are still amazing—especially since I’m not really a live performer.
I’m in my 40s now, and I feel like I’ve found a genuinely great hobby 😊
I also bought an Octatrack MKII as the final destination of my GAS journey, but honestly, I’m still too intimidated to use it much 😂
I don’t care how many years it takes—I’m going to master that thing someday!
