I love the damn things, theyve won me over. My wife got me the 32 for christmas and I had em all by my birthday last week. For a guy like me, who cant hold a musical idea for more than five seconds, they are perfect. Ive recorded more music in the last month than in the last two decades. I have a LOT of music in my head, but the process of setting up, booting up, setting tempo, arming a track, etc... destroys my creativity. With these guys, its grab and go to work. Also, in the past, if I did manage to get a musical idea to tape or disk, I was to scared to tinker with it for fear of spoiling it. Not so with the poās, I make and destroy like a god with hemmoroids! Lol! Just badass little things. So far, the robot is my fave. The Tonic goes in and out favoritism depending on what Ive got it loaded up with, and the arcade rocks my world a bit too. Hell, I like em all... even the office.
I dig the interface as well. I come from guitar, fingerpicking and jazzā¦ Ive got busy fingers. Ive been playing guitar for 30+ years now and I still dont fully understand the layout of the notes on the fretboard. I can name you any note if given a second, but I cant intuit them. The buttons on the po feel like homeā¦ my fingers intuit that ākeyboardā perfectly. Its awesome to have that feeling after years of kinda just fumbling my way through.
Im not tryin to sell ya dude, I promise. Im just excited that right here when Ive found them, theyre getting ready to have more for me to hoardā¦ and protectā¦ and cherish. Precious.

Regardless of whether or not they are useful for music, I will say that the two new ones are super unique sounding. Very inspiring, which is pretty much what you would want for $89. The KO definitely seems musical and useful. The Speak, on the other hand, seems like it could be more useful for some depending on how you use it.
Ordered The Speak. I donāt have the mad love or desire for samplers some of you have (but Iām glad they released one so people can stop saying āI hope they release a sampler!ā); but I do have some crazy mad love right now for speech / formant synthesis stuff.
On their cart / order page, they say that most US orders ship from US warehouses.
"most us orders are shipped locally from our us warehouses. all other orders are shipped from our warehouses in sweden. for orders outside of eu there will likely be a customs fee upon receiving the goods, depending on your location."
