Define real
p confused by this choice, tbh
I am a serious musician with ārealā instruments and I am offended by this silly product.
Just kidding! Who cares?! It seems fun! People called the Pocket Operators ātoysā before this and people will continue to call them toys long after this. Little do they know there is no such thing as a āserious instrumentā. Instruments are what you make of them. Music is what you make of it and it is okay for music to be fun.
GRAB THAT TERRY FLAPPY FOLD
Heck yes, I really want to get one of these! It looks like a modified PO 35 speak, the audio playing in the insta video kinda sounds like it, also slot 16 has a graphic over it and on the box art, so Iām guessing this is the micro drum machine. In any case, Iām already gearing up to get one
Happy for anyone out there who wants one of these, but this feels like a ājump the sharkā moment if there ever was one.
Excited for the upcoming limited edition Home Improvement PO with pre-loaded Tim Allen samples.
At least they have updated the display graphics, unlike the Ghostly fiascoā¦
At what cost will be the differentiator between the two, but as a slightly embarrassed owner of the ghostly edition 33, different gfx would at least be something.
What are the Ghostly samples like?
Iām pretty annoyed how limited that edition was, I hope they do a much larger run of the PO-137
It was sold out very quickly, I donāt see any āfiascoā.
I donāt see the point in that campaign. It was not for money, given the extremely limited run. It was not a new device, just an expensive PO-33. Most of the social media comments that I saw were negative. Who is a fan of Ghostly by the way? I think they would get better PR from distributing a sound backup for free.
The R&M PO-35 on the other hand has a new display and a huge fan base.
i had numerous family and friends mention it to me. good advertising?
or targeted ad shenanigans.
PO-137 available now for 99ā¬, comes with silicon case CA-X (black).
EDIT: ā¦aaaand sold out already.
Webpage says ā1st editionā, obviously there are more to come.
I had gotten an email during the night. When I awoke, I immediately went to the ābuyā page, and it had already sold out. Curse you timezones!
I managed to get one, theyāre emails are sent so much later than when they sell them, only way for me was to stay up that night and watch their Instagram countdown. (Iām in Aus so timezones also suck). The r&m po is really fun and Iām glad I got it because I donāt have a speak, but it seems to be identical except for the PCB design and screen, and preloaded samples. Itās really fun and I think good for people who like the show and donāt already have a po 35. I think itās getting a broader release in November, otherwise the 35 is pretty cheap on TEs website
Congratulations. Iām a retired mad scientist, so I really wanted a PO with my hero in it. But I always overwrite all the samples while experimenting anyway, so maybe itās just for the ⦠āamazingā graphics.
So realā¦
