Has anyone received a PO order shipping notice yet?

I think my sub display also has a little screen bug but not sure. The B knob indicator column only goes up half way, even though the sound is changed, while the A one goes up full way. Not a big deal in my case but I wonder if the cool cardboard packaging isn’t the best idea for such exposed/fragile machines.

Defectus?

@muhr Yes? =)

Gonna head out and hunt some batteries and food now.

The logical thing to assume is that the big sub, which seems to be the only thing missing, requires tie most power and therefore doesn’t “light” up if the current is low enough.

I’ll report back when I tried new batteries. Removing the batteries scares me. Feels like I’m gonna break the whole thing while removing them

And my gf bought it from Cm btw

Update : new batteries didn’t work, guess I’ll have to send it back and wait for a new batch in April

I have two separate orders in, one for the Rhythm and Sub, and one one for the Factory. Seriously thinking of only keeping the Factory order. My question is this for the lucky few who already have them - is the internal drum machine on the Factory any good? How much fun would I miss out on if I only had one? Have ordered all the cases on a single order so would have to cancel all those too.

The mini-drum machine on Factory & Sub does not allow to play two drum sounds at the same time.
So it’s limited. But rather OK.
I don’t find Sub very good compare to Factory (my personnal feeling) but Rythm is cool, + you have a rudimentary bassline.
My advice : get only the factory and go for the rest if you really like it :slight_smile:

That sounds like a plan @LyingDalai. Free up some funds for more immediate synth toy action!


That piques my interest @LyingDalai . I ordered the Rhythm and Factory and am just here in purgatory with everyone else. Watching some of the videos, I was starting to wish I had gotten the Sub instead of Factory but now I’m excited again.

Sorry but I have to clearify: the Po-12 does play several drum sounds at once. It’s the mini drum machines on the SUB and FACTORY that only play one sound per step. I like the Sub and think it has some killar sounds. Please check out my video of it if you like: http://youtu.be/Zr1a8NFl6Eo

Oops you’re perfectly right I meant to say that, thank you for correcting me, @MUM !
Indeed you got a grid per sound on Rythm.
And as you can very easilly chain paterns it’s really crazy for drum’n’bass !!!

No problemo @lyingdalai! :slight_smile:

@madeupmonster so happy to hear someone making an actual song on these!! So pissed it’s almost been a month and no shipping conf! Thinking you could write a pretty elaborate song with all 3 synced together!

Looks like Juno.co.uk is expecting PO12 in stock on Feb 16, with PO14&16 to follow in early March. Probably all to be priced at £49.99

@MadeUpMonster: Cool work! :slight_smile: Thanks for sharing. Yours and the other cool vids keep me feeling that the wait will have been worth it when my PO’s finally arrive. I hope you guys making vids keep them coming! :slight_smile:

I’ve just emailed to cancel my order. I’m not angry, but my excitement has since died down. That plus the hacky chromatic tuning means I’m just not interested any more.



That video is brilliant! The finger dancing brings tears to my eyes…

@Calicaux, yeah I felt the same thing before I got my POs. Some videos of tweaking effects and parameter locks but no songs. So that was my first mission when I received them from CE. It was the pattern chaining that got me to buy these machines in the first place. Glad you liked it! With all three of them I bet you could get a really cool result.


@sjdude, thank you! Glad to be of service! :wink:

@pfontaine2, haha thank you so much! Couldn’t help myself! :slight_smile:

To anyone else here who has cancelled their PO order with TE, how long did it take you to get a response?


I emailed them Friday morning and still haven’t heard back.

I cancelled my order on FEB 12th 08:31 PM CET to both order@teenageengineering.com and support@teenageengineering.com.

Jens answered from support@teenageengineering.com on FEB 13th 11:12 AM CET

@swam I cancelled on the 14th and heard back this morning (the 16th). I imagine you’ll be hearing from them soon.
