TE010AS020A PO-20 Arcade Pocket Operator

Pas du tout dans l'univers du son je me régale a faire des bidouilles inutiles et me satisfait du pierre résultat. Il y a un côté régressif et très galvanisant a pianoter sur les touches qui changent de couleur et l'écran qui se met à jour. Je n'en ferais probablement rien de plus mais ça reste un régal a utiliser.

Great little musical toy. Hours of fun

This little device is loads of fun. It comes preloaded with 16 patterns, which can be erased and over written once you understand how to program them. The sounds it makes are fun to play with, easy to manipulate, and they sound pleasing to the ear, assuming you like, bleep-bloop, chiptune-esque sounds. It has a number of effects to apply to the sounds as you play, as well as the ability to set and adjust chord progression through your composition. I have had the Pocket Operator Arcade for about a week and I am still learning about it, but I would say that I am very pleased overall, and will be trying out the other models Teenage Engineering has to offer. One important note, though, it is a small device, and as far as durability of this thing goes, it is basically a circuit board with buttons and knobs. I can't see it holding up if you plan to travel and don't take special precautions. This isn't a criticism, but more of a forewarning. So if you're going to carry this little guy around, you want to think ahead, or spend the extra money and purchase a case for it. It's a great price at $60-ish dollars, so $20-$40 more for a well-made case isn't a bad investment, I highly recommend getting a protective case. If you don't like TE's cases, there are a number of custom and third party options out there. Have fun.

This is actually the coolest thing ever. I have not put it down since receiving it. Easy to learn and very addictive. My only concern is the lack of casing. It’s literally just a chip board with a screen and buttons/knobs. Time will tell if this is an issue, until that point this pretty much a perfect little device.

Ich mache sehr selten positive Rezensionen, aber das Gerät ist es wert. Zwar braucht man auch hier ein Stündchen um sich einzuarbeiten, lohnen tut es sich auf jeden Fall. In Kombination mit den anderen Pocket Operators kann man noch viel mehr Tiefe erreichen, und ein Effektgerät a la NTS-1 bringt auch noch einiges, der Arcade kann aber als Einzelgerät selber schon so viel, dass er sich als Musikgerät mit Kopfhörern in der Bahn bestens eignet. Auch 5 Sterne an das Musikhaus Korn, die waren schnell und freundlich beim Umgang mit einer Rücksendung.
