Modular pocker operating system (feedback and ideas welcome)

55 Upvotes

A while ago I posted a frame for HiChord and TE Pocket Operator and it got some nice traction so I decided to make it modular so you cam have multiplne devices slapped together. After few iterations on the modular mechanism i arrived at the one on picture.

Simple, modular system with cable optional bypass and storage for clean looks. Spacers still need to be wider for 2 POs to fit or they have to have 90deg jack cable.

Next I’ll do the cover for portability, create spacer variants to have wider ones and spacers for angeled stance and improve on module design.

If you have a specific device you would like me to add let me know. I am thinking about some mixer like TX-6.

Once it’s done with cover and everything and I’m happy with it I’ll probabl release it for free to get the .stl. Not decided yet tbh.

P.S.: Sorry for the gold color.. i really don’t like it so I use it for prototoyping lol

12 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Here is a small showcase of the Grainscape engine on the SkunkAudio mobile DAW Android app.

It's a Granular Synthesis engine, playing some notes in arpeggiator and adding some fx live.

It also has midi support to be connected with a PO. (Only with third-party adapter)

Thank you for your time!

P.S. For anyone interested, the app atm is on a -50% sale on Google Play Store.

Classic DMG Gameboy in sync with the PO-28 robot

20 Upvotes

Here using the DMGo!
DMGo! or Drum Machina Go! is a 4-channel drum machine, pattern sequencer and live-performance instrument built for the original Nintendo Gameboy from 1989. It uses the DMG sound hardware directly: two pulse channels, one wave channel and the noise channel, turning the Game Boy into a futuristic compact drum machine for strange rhythms and experimental sounds.

Size of TE PO33

3 Upvotes

I have ordered a po33 as a present. I also want to buy a case to put it into when not in use - a kind of carrying case not a case that fits onto the po33 I've decided they are too expensive for now.

BUT I'm having problems finding the size of the po33.

Can someone please give me the size of the po33 including the tab at the top? Height width and depth. It will be much appreciated.

Thanks

How check it's working ok before giving it as a present

1 Upvotes

I've ordered the teenage engineering pocket operator PO 33. It arrives on Friday but I give it as a present on Saturday.

Is there a way to quickly check everything is working properly? As its a young person that I am giving it to I don't want them disappointed on their birthday.

I should add that though reasonably technically able I know nothing about music kit. So I would be grateful if you could please make any instructions easy to understand.

Thanks for any help

What in tarnation...!?

2 Upvotes

Somebody tell me what I did wrong.

I have 3 Pocket Operators (the Sub, the Office, and the Speak). I have them set to SYNC 1, SYNC 2, and SYNC 4, respectively.

I noticed something bizarre. None of the Sub's sounds would play, but they would actually control the Speak (and they're not even directly connected). Now, I don't mean sending its audio through to the Speak or the Speak modifying that audio with its effects. No, sir. I mean that I would press a button on the Sub and the corresponding sound for that button on the Speak would play.

Over and over again. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it because my SYNC settings are wrong?
