CONTACT WHO: Teenage Engineering. WEB: teenage engineering KEY FEATURES Handheld pocket sampler and voice synthesizer. Microphone, 16-step sequencer, 16 patterns (chainable), 8 voice types, 8 effects, 16-part Microtonic drum engine, pre-loaded with exclusive Rick and Morty samples
Since their inception, Teenage Engineering’s Pocket Operator handheld synths have focussed on succeeding at one vital thing: making music fun. The latest addition to the series sees the existing PO-35 Speak take a wrong turn into a parallel universe in the form of the PO-137.
In what can only be seen as a very canny marketing move, teaming up with Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, the Swedish manufacturer has created the perfect merchandise for fans of the Adult Swim show and refreshed an already existing design, with, presumably, little investment needed. The PO-137 takes the PO-35 and adds Roiland’s own designs to the interface and LCD screen and sees his vocal talents at the mercy of the onboard effects and different voice types. Even the model number is a nod to the show.
