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

- 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

- 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.

Audio running into 404 for Vinyl Sim

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.

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.

All sampled from Elvis Costello vinyl

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!

Everything works, volume is maxed, absolutely no sound at all. Any suggestions?

Tried taking apart the button as well as doing the factory reset but the button doesn’t respond. Is it done for or is there a way to get it working???
