Teenage Engineering's Pocket Operators are probably the smallest piece of gear you'll ever own. They're quite literally pocket sized. But don't be fooled by their miniscule stature, they're packed full of features.
The PO-32 brings a few cool new tricks to the micro-studio setup. Using the Micro Tonic VST software, you can create your own sounds, giving you infinite options. Then you wirelessly transfer them via the built in microphone. It really is like magic, it sends a data-packet containing the parameters of the sound you have created.
In total this credit-card sized drum machine has 16, fully customisable presets. And on the back they've given you a few handy tips and reminders of button combinations to get you started.
