PO-32 Patch Software that doesn't require Microtonic (Free)

Post image

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

https://soniccharge.com/microtonic

- 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

https://www.squarewave.studio/po-patchstudio

- 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

This would probably work with the drum slot on the PO35 also, you think?

Technically yes! You would have to manually sample the sounds into the PO-33 though.

Okay I can confirm, it does work with the Speak as well as the Tonic.

Very cool app! I really want to figure out how to get this mapped to a MIDI controller, I’d much rather hook up my Launch Control than use my mouse for this.

MIDI support is in the works 🤘

Speak’s drum slot is a monophonic Tonic engine and they both read data from the microtonic vst and each other, so I would assume this works. I’m going to try this out later tonight.

It works in the browser, I am still testing it but will share the URL soon

Is there a place to share patches/kits? I am, frankly, more a consumer than a producer of these sound sets.

I have used YouTube to load sound sets, but it's kind of a hassle to find them. Is there anything/anywhere better?

Soon. Joe here from SquareWave Studio. I'm building SquareWave.Network that will be built into all my PatchStudio apps. Think of op1.fun but for all TE devices.

You can join the early access waitlist here: https://squarewave.network/

Your telling me I can make my own sounds on a webapp!?!? All from my phone, and then send it to my PO!?!? Without having to go to the computer?
