Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

This small man came to me personally as a huge surprise from TE when they teamed up with Cheap Monday; being known due to their 600¤ synth and then discovering this thing for 70¤. Nice unique sounds and effects, a really, REALLY presenter that is goodbetter than the Volca series), clear display, sturdy for a portable setup, good battery life (runs on regular AAA). It could also inform time.

Being only a barebone PCB with buttons+display on top, it does not even have the on/off button (it has auto-sleep though), but that does not stop it from delivering a serious punch. Editable parameters can be motion sequenced too, patterns could be chained and tempo and shuffle is(up that is also editable 240BPM). Has an included stand (a fold-out steel piece).

I want it’s a few of these things (however it wouldnt cost therefore little):
-channel mute
-display light
-on/off (although I think the newer PO-2x series may have that)
-more pattern spaces
-maybe better saving (if you remove the batteries, sometimes it wipes your patterns)

But I think I’ll buy some more, these specific things have great charm and usability, I also made an EP solely done on a PO-12.

Comment:

I ended up being anticipating a toy but I am actually amazed by the noises this little thing could make. Through some effects it seems significantly more massive than it offers any straight to if you run it. Especially for the price that is low. I guess the just downside to the specific PO could be the reality than several other POs that it is much harder in order to make the full song with it. It can only make drum noises nearly (there is certainly a synth and bass noise but it is quite limited). But at least the one thing it really is carried out by it does really well. As of this price a pretty wise solution!
