The new Teenage Engineering PO synth & groove boxes (Only $59 OMGWTFBBQ!)
Not AB compatible. Nor software. But portable! It's kinda like Teenage Engineering answer to the Korg Volcas (altho no copy cats, so to speak, since these Pocket Operators was demo:ed a year ago, and released today).
The PO-12 is the drum synth (Rhythm)
The PO-14 is the bassline synth (Sub)
The PO-16 is the melody synth (Factory)
I've looked at the videos and heard the demos, and these things can sounds nasty. In a good way that is. Raw, rough, glitchy. I'm sure there's a tamer side to them as well. I just ordered the PO-12 drum box from their site (https://www.teenageengineering.com), it has a simple bass part in there as well (the other 2 models contains a simple mini beat section as well). Price per unit is only $59 .
Synthesis methods inside the sub and factory unit are FM, Subtractive, Wavetable, Physical Modeling. The Rythm uses a mix of synthesis and samples. All units have a whole suite of effects inside them. Cirrus Logic DAC, blah blah. Btw, If you don't like it naked, you can buy a case, as shown in the pic below.
Anyway, can't wait to wake my neighbors up with these PO:s !

Defiantly going to get the po12 when it hits the uk, possibly the sub aswell, it's got some dirty sounds!! The case is sooo boring though, it's painful to wrap such a quirky machine in the skins of a calculator.
Ooh these look neat!
Thanks for sharing.

It's shipping worldwide from TEs site and some French site/store that got some dealio with TE. Later it'll be available in select stores (or something along those lines).
Btw, I just purchased the PO-16 (melody/factory) as well. Only one more to go, but got another piece of groovebox from Korg on the way, and omg I'm so tired of noodles...,I am a completionist tho...1st world problems
Lovely. Thanks for the info.
Sounds bad ass, I want it in software. Yeah yeah I know hardware sounds better than software. But I believe there isn't much difference anymore. I want an app from this thing.....AB, IAA and the whole shabang.
Most interested in the 12 but can't figure out if you can adjust the volume/velocity per sound.
I can't figure out how many patterns you can store. There are 16 factory demo patterns from the looks of it, I'm guessing overwriting those 16 is what you can do, but who knows..(?)
These are... Pretty cool, alarm clocks and all. Wonder if they'll ever release a sampler version.

If it helps, I actually dreamt about these synths tonight, and in this dream you could set volume on a per step basis (haha). I should perhaps add that my dreams rarely, if ever, comes true though.
Listening to these in action, they essentially all remind me of the app TweakyBeat (same dev who did SeekBeats). If you are interested in these, and don't have TweakyBeat, I highly recommend checking it out.

Do they have cases? Bit weird being just circuit boards....
They look like fun, but sound terrible. You might as well buy a copy of Elastic Drums and put it through a bit crusher. If they bring out a sampler version that doesn't sound like an early 90's Amiga then I might be tempted though.
You can't hang a copy of elastic drums in the shitter. <--- DOT
I can't hang it up, but I've composed some of my best work whilst scatologically engaged, as you can probably tell...
Demo from the show floor, looks and sounds awesome. It's sooo tempting getting the Sub, it sounds absolutely amazing.
Btw, he mentioned something about volume, and these devices have parameter locks, so perhaps it does have a per step volume thing...
I'm starting to dig the barebones look of these things
@ChrisG totally helps, thanks.
TE could have released these as DIY kits for the same money and sold tons of them. Kudos for selling them so cheap as they are. If they were in cases for twice as much, I would probably not think twice.
Around 11:58 in@ChrisG's video he mentions something about a sampler, but as far as I can tell none of these units has a sampling option. Can anyone clarify?
Also, I love that their "booth" is just stacks of boxes of the new units.
I may not end up buying any of these (tho the drum unit is tempting), but I really appreciate their existence.

I think these new TE units sound like Mouse on Mars...and perhaps obviously, Elastic Drums also sounds like Mouse on Mars. MoM are also my favorite group ever, so I'm a bit biased, but I think it is fair to say that both the app and these units cover similar territory, but with different aesthetics. Listening to the video @ChrisG posted I was intrigued by how MoM the new TE gear sounded, but playing with Elastic Drums I think it sounds very MoM-like...as it should. Elastic Drums gets me there, but as a hardware junkie I also really appreciate something like the new TE gear. Drop $250 in my bank account and I'll get all of it.

They're one of my favourite electro bands too, and I love the app. I guess there's a bit of fiscal caution going on for me - I need to justify what extra they'd bring to the table compared to what I can already achieve via the iPad. I'm having the same internal debate about the Korg Sample.
Saying all that though I notice they'll be available from UK stores so if they don't have much of a mark up...and if they make a sampler version providing sonic scope beyond the preset sounds, it'd be difficult to resist.

Just how fragile are they???
But I really like the sub-base one:-)
You can buy a case as an extra. Looks like a pocket calculator.
The cases are now available for order (around $35 I believe). Although it does say expected delivery 6-8 weeks. The PO units are on backorder and will be shipping in April again. The French store that had exclusive rights to sell them the other day (1 day before Teenage Engineering) sold out in 8 minutes. And looking at my order numbers (I ordered them all separately for some reason), I'd say TE have a lot of manufacturing ahead of them.
Also, couldn't resist that Sub, so completed the Trinity today w/ PO-14. Waiting till April tho
There's no sampling option. He was just saying that the drums uses samples.
