There’s a “write-protect” tab, inspired by cassette tapes. Teenage Engineering have also let CDM on another little touch they’ve given this instrument. Here’s Magnus – who also worked with TE on the CWO effect for their OP-1 – showing how it all works:
I hope they do find a way to go from hardware to plug-in, though, as that would be really useful with patterns.)ĭon’t own the plug-in yet? Teenage Engineering are offering a bundle of the plug-in and hardware together for $139, as a limited edition. (Note: there’s only confirmation that you can load tweaked sounds/patterns from the plug-in onto the hardware - not the other way around. There will be a new, updated Microtonic plug-in to go with it.

Parameters and patterns move between software and hardware and hardware and hardware. Jesper Kouthoofd from TE says this is the next-generation Pocket Operator platform, and that the functionality will be used on future tools, too. You can make sounds on your computer and load them on the hardware, or move them from PO-32 to PO-32. But because the hardware has a compatible engine to the plug-in, it’s real. I’ll be honest: this whole thing was so far-fetched that I had to confirm it with them. A number of spiders.įortunately, the Teenage Engineers have provided the ability design sounds in the computer plug-in, then load that sound into the standalone hardware. The PO-32 is a business card-sized circuit board with some tiny buttons on it and some pictures of people out drinking and a mouse apparently making a phone call and … spiders. Microtonic, aka µTONIC, has elaborate on-screen controls for tweaking synth parameters, which you can access via a computer GUI with faders and switches and knobs, all of them labeled.
Now, at this stage, anyone who’s ever used Sonic Charge’s desktop drum percussion synth pattern sequencer plug-in is going to be a little confused. And it’s not just any drum synth – it’s Magnus Lidström’s Microtonic, more or less squeezed into $89 hardware. The PO-32 looks to be both the most surprising, and most serious entry yet. And you might think they’d be out of weird ideas. Teenage Engineering have been charming us for a couple of years now with handheld, pocket calculator, Nintendo Game&Watch-style synth and drum machines.
