I have quite a few drum machines from a maschine plus, novation circuit, kolg volva beats and the pocket operator so I I have a pretty good idea about where this fits into the mix. It's way more powerful than it looks. It's really possible to do some quite complex things on this with only the few settings that you have. For example, yes it's a 16 step sequencer so it's quantized but if you way to have something non quantized you could shift where you trim the same at for example to get it to a microstep. The storage space on it is a bit limiting so it makes you really conserve the space you have. Longer samples for example may be hard to work with. There is a way to back it up to a sound file if you want to though which is nice to have. Recording in it is very easy. The build in mic is ok but record from line in for much better results. The battery life is great so expect a few weeks of continuous use out if 2 battering. The only negative thing I have to say is that the dials are really terrible. It makes it so hard to trim a clip for donfine adjustments. Some people have soldered different ones on that are better quality but I've bit tried it. Get the outrageously expensive case to go with it since it will save your fingers if you use it a lot. Sound quality is good but don't expect high end audio. I've found that if you get a good recording of a sample on it the quality is quite good but this just lends it's self to the type of music it can create. For comparison you can do more on this than a Kirk volca beats and it fits in your pocket. It's actually really good for just jamming and playing live

Il PO-33 mi ha veramente stupito. Piccolo e leggerissimo, sembra un giocattolo, ma non lasciatevi ingannare... Non lo è affatto! L'oggettino è un campionatore (ha un mic integrato, un line-in e un line-out) con sequencer e permette di creare beat anche molto complessi. I 16 pad che permettono di suonare, sono suddivisi in due sezioni: "Melodic", dedicata ai suoni che vorrete suonare su una scala cromatica per creare appunto linee melodiche e "Drum" per i suoni di batteria e percussioni. La polifonia è a 4 voci, cioè potrete utilizzare fino a quattro campioni che suonano sovrapposti contemporaneamente, ma c'è da precisare che nella sezione Drum ad ogni pad viene assegnato un intero drum set composto da 16 suoni percussivi, che però corrispondono ad un solo campione; questo comporta che che non potrete, da un unico drum set, suonare contemporaneamente due suoni sovrapposti (es. una cassa e un hi-hat) per farlo dovrete scegliere il secondo suono da un altro drum set. I campioni precaricati in fabbrica non sono entusiasmanti, ma utili per muovere i prami passi con lo strumento e capirne il funzionamento prima di passare a campionare ed elaborare i vostri suoni. Per chi volesse sperimentare da subito con altri sample packs già pronti all'uso, sul sito della casa produttrice potrete scaricarne un paio niente male a questo indirizzo: teenage.engineering/downloads/po-33 Insomma, se quello che cercate è uno strumento realmente tascabile per poter campionare e creare beat ovunque vi troviate, questo è quello che fa per voi.

Niestety, wewnętrzy mikrofon działa bardzo słabo.

Great battery life and fun to play around with. Takes a bit more of a learning curve to use and is quite delicate. It’s very impressive and compact! It’s awesome to be able to fit it in your pocket and have a dedicated music device that you can create yourself. It’s a bit expensive, but a neat item to have on hand! Of all the different types of pocket synths, this seemed to be the best choice because it allows 3 channels of music layering.
