You can change the selected pattern by holding the “pattern” button and pressing the desired pattern with the 1-16 keys. If it’s the first time that you try the PO, what you hear is one of the pre-configured pattern. Hit the “play” button (on the right side of your PO). Your PO comes with 16 pre-configured pattern (you can have 16 different patterns on the PO-20).Ī pattern consists of 16 steps (represented by the 1-16 keys). To change the volume, hold the “bpm” button, and choose a value between 1-16. You can try on any sound, keep pressing one of the 1-16 button and, on turn the knob to hear how the sound is modified. ![]() You can modify these parameters by turning these two knobs. Try to press all of them, 1 by 1, to hear what each button does.Įach sound has two parameters (most of the time, it will be the pitch and the waveform), and each knob correspond to a parameter. The buttons with the number (1 - 16) are the ones that “make sounds” (they are doing other stuff, but let’s get in step by step). On your PO, you’ll see that every button is “explained” by a label or a small image. You’re now ready to discover the beautiful sounds of the Arcade. One easy way that I found is to use a guitar pick. The Pocket Operators are wonderful, but they are fragile. If you really want to turn it off manually, press “sound” + “write”. The PO have an “auto off” feature to protect your poor batteries. You don’t have to press any button to turn it off. To see the battery status, you can press “sound” + “bpm” Don’t worry, you just have to replace the batteries by brand new ones. Note : it may happens that, when you press a button, the PO resets. When the batteries are in, just press any button to start the PO. Take care of the emplacement (the two + are on same side). You’ll have to force a little, but don’t worry. Just put the first one, and try to fit the second one. And now comes your first difficulty with your PO: the batteries are hard to put in or to take off. The first step is of course to put batteries in. Here are good examples of how the Arcade sounds:Īfter opening the beautiful purple box, you’ll find your new entertainment machine. With these drones, you can easily create a full track using only this Pocket Operator. It allow you to choose “chords” and to add it when you want to your track. The most important feature of this PO is certainly the “drones” feature.
