A brief introduction to the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-20 Arcade synthesizer.
www.teenageengineering.com/pr...
Addendum: You can turn on a click-track (metronome) by pressing Function + BPM. This cycles through sync modes, which include an audible sync-click on the beat. There are 6 sync modes, 0 being the one you will want to return to when you're ready to play without a click again.
Sorry about the strange noises in the VO, still getting used to my new lav microphone.

Thanks so much for this! I got this thing for my birthday yesterday and even though I KNOW it's a cool thing, I have no idea how it works. My brother is into making music with synthesizers and stuff and I recently expressed interest in that too, so he thought this would make a good gift. I've just never done it before! This video helps me a lot!!

@CptFalcone 7 лет назад

Solid video! Picked up one of these a couple months ago and I absolutely love it. I didn't see it in the comments so I'll say it, but my apologies if this has already been said. Holding chord and pressing bpm turns on the metronome click. Love the channel. :)

@rhoddity 6 лет назад

Watched all your vids on these and I was inspired to get the PO-20! I'm loving this little thing! =D

@alistairsheehyhutton4201 6 лет назад

OMFG. I've just learnt there is a secret metronome function on the PO-20 (and I presume the others as well). Hold Chord and BPM and you get a metronome!

@minecrafter0505 5 лет назад

It's the syncing mode, that plays a metronome on the left channel and the music on the right. This allows POs to sync their BPM between each other when they are linked together.

@TheUncommonVideo 3 года назад

I also just learned that if you're in Write mode, hold a step and press the BPM button then you can re-trigger a sound, so you can get some more complex beats going without changing the BPM

@ooairmonkey4771 4 года назад

Your PO videos are *GREAT*! They're perfect for an overview to see which POs are more convenient for one's preferences. Plus, they're a nice little startup guide. So cheers for that! I'm wondering which PO you would recommend one to get as one's first PO if getting two or more is, budget-wise, out of the question. I agree with you that, in terms of preference, I'm liking this Arcade one more than the others-I guess because it has that real 80s feel. But I also think the Speak is very cool and perhaps more versatile than this one (albeit 50% more expensive as well).

@Sakunera 7 лет назад

Awesome video. Wish I had this when I picked up the PO-20 but I guess that is part of the fun figuring it all out :)

@Sakunera 7 лет назад

Also you forgot to mention the functionality of retriggering (is beat repeat a better way to put it?) stuff in the sequence multiple times by holding STEP + BPM. Sounds really awesome on drums.

@RedMeansRecording 7 лет назад

That's exactly what my mindset was going into this. Just a really basic walkthrough. It took me a long time to figure these little guys out, so I hoped this would help some other people.

@drackaris_ 6 лет назад

How do you clear out a sound? Like when you live played the drum beat after setting up the metronome, when i hit record all I can do is put notes into the sequence, I can't get back to being able to play something live over the metronome track. just put more metronome notes in.

@tonydraht 5 лет назад

A question: could I do something like the Chords with the KO? I love the Chord progressions, Id love to get some synthwave vibes with them. I just feel like the Arcade would limit me to just this style, the question being whether I could use the sample-function on the KO to implement chords the same way. This is the only thing keeping me from ordering one, I can't afford both.

@RedMeansRecording 5 лет назад

You would have to sample chords on the 33

@tonydraht 5 лет назад

@@RedMeansRecording I realized that too, but since you used multiple POs together I guess I can export the Chords from the Arcade to the KO later on. I ordered the Arcade, I'm so excited for it. Thanks for replying, too.
