New pocket operators coming??

Don’t remember the source, but I thought I remember seeing somewhere that the 32 had a higher end processor in it. (I’d expect it to require more processing power + memory)

If it truly is a sampler I will absolutely buy one immediately

There’s a record button, so maybe also line-in sampling.

Same.

Does someone have a screenshot from these pages.

@flom


I don’t have screenshots, but the page only showed the price (89$) and the names. No pictures.

@RisingSon thanks.

I love my PO-32.
I would be charmed with a Pocket-Sampler and a Pocket-FM Synth.

Oh !

@villegas I’d be thrilled !
:slight_smile:

A pocket sampler would be amazing. If it could sample via microphone and then have all of the PO-12’s effects I’d buy one instantly.

anybody got news?

For me this looks like a fake, because the PO with “SPEAK” on it, is a “Factory” … at least the screen and the orange buttons.

…maybe it’s a FACTORY with a different firmware. The TONIC on the bottom left also has different button colors than the official one (green vs white).

I think they could be prototypes. These images look like images from the TE x IKEA event that happened this summer that had lots of OP-1s and POs and OP-Zs, and if anyone’s going to have weird / fake / prototype Pocket Operators alongside OP-Zs, it’s going to be Teenage Engineering.


I just imagine that OP-Z finalization is taking priority over new Pocket Operators right now. I think there was an expectation some new ones would show up by this summer’s end, but I’m betting if there are new ones that they won’t show up until NAMM. I’d love to be wrong - I’d love something new to monkey with while waiting for OP-Z

Or it could just be crazy creative Teenage Engineering employees painting their Pocket Operators for fun and mischief, like this Tonic seen on their official Instagram account.

Can we really all just ignore this?

^ I think you should because it does not make any sense. If that picture suggests a PO with a built in radio then the antenna should have been connected to the audio in connector, otherwise the speaker would be disabled.

I feel pretty bad, having to announce that this is a joke. But also, seeing this makes me take anything shown in this picture much much less seriously.

Maybe the antenna is for broadcast :wink:

To broadcast your Arcade hiscores? :wink:
