Just wow. If this thing doesn't make you smile within 5 minutes, you just don't like making beats!
It's genius. There's a lot of subtlety in the timing of the effects, and because they are triggers, rather than say on the Po-12 where they are constantly applied, you can create so much variation.

The "gating" "limitation" is GENIUS! So (I havent used the microtonic software yet) the kick drums are all on "Group 1" (The left column as you look). Then left to right, its group 2 -4...
So you can choke your own drum loops, creating build ups, and then unleash the effects for fills!
With the time stretching effects, you can create amazing stuff.

You just gotta be constantly in the flow! No midi to do it for you ;)

For coming out with ideas it's genius.

It's just a shame there's not a way to spit out midi data, just to capture - to apply to say a drum rack in ableton.

You will come up with stuff on this, staring at ppl walking down the street, that you never could before hahah!

Line up some beefy kicks, and a nice pattern....then play with that Bassline (Bottom left corner). If that doesn't make you laugh...i don't know :)

Microtonic in a box

The PO-32 tonic is a killer drumsynth. You can sculpt your sounds on the unit or upload them from the Microtonic VST plugin. For the money it’s the best drumsynth around.

Great for any use.

I bought this PO practically because i just wanted to sample the different sounds that come with it.
I think that you can use it for music production as it has a sequencer and it's just really interesting to use.
I do not think it's anything groundbreaking, but if you like old school video game sounds and aesthetic, this is a wonderful instrument.

This toy is amazing. The sound quality is great. I've used it in many of my productions and I'm looking forward to buy some of the other P0

Amazing little thing

This little drummachine is fun to use.
It has very few features and is very constricting but that helps your creativity in a lot of ways.
The only thing i dislike about pocket operators is that the sequencer is one bar long. That though is something you easily get over with once you start using the patterns.
