Description
The Teenage Engineering PO-28 robot is a synthesizer and sequencer for live performance, with a lock parameter, shift control, and push effects.
Product information
Inside are 8-bit synthesizer engines, which are designed for leads and simple, but very recognizable melodies. The sound here is a bit rough, grainy, with the same digital “dust” that adds charm. And as soon as you start playing, you catch yourself thinking that this is no longer just a sound, this is an atmosphere.
A separate thrill is glide. This smooth “flight” between notes, which makes the sound lively and a little acidic. Add it and a simple lead already sounds like something from old soundtracks or even the acid scene.
And, of course, the branded punch-in effects. You press a button and the sound starts to break, glitch, crumble or, conversely, gather into something new. It’s not about accuracy – it’s about experiment and fun.
The sequencer is a classic Pocket Operator: fast, simple and very musical. 16 steps, patterns, chains — and you’re already building a full-fledged track right in the palm of your hand. Plus micro-drama inside to immediately add rhythm and not break away from the process.
And most importantly — it’s alive live. PO-28 Robot is literally created to be twisted by hands, played live, improvised. It’s not about “program and listen”. It’s about “play and get high”.
PO-28 Robot is the perfect option for those who want a little madness in the sound. A little retro, a little experimental and a maximum of character. Small, strange, but very infectious.
