Anaheim, CA (January 18, 2017) – Teenage Engineering are extremely happy to announce PO-32 Tonic – the next level pocket operator with built-in microphone and import/export functionality. PO-32 Tonic is a powerful drum and percussion synthesizer – a result of a fruitful collaboration with Magnus Lidström of Sonic Charge, creator of award-winning audio plugins and the man behind the CWO effect in OP-1.
Unique to PO-32 Tonic is its wide range of sonic capabilities, a fresh selection of new punch-in FX, a built-in microphone allowing direct transfer of sounds and pattern data between units, as well as the ability to allow users of the standard desktop version of Microtonic to shape sounds, generate new patches and pattern data, and transfer them wirelessly back to the PO-32 Tonic.
