- hyperman1 5mo agoThat discussion contains: TE have perfected milking hipsters to perfection As someone considering buying a pocket operator for his son: How true is this? What are decent alternatives for PO?
- krrishd 5mo agoPocket operator (particularly the KO) is the single thing other than maybe the OP-Z that I think has enough creative utility relative to its price to not feel like glorified furniture. I enjoyed mine a lot / made a lot with it!
- hug 5mo agoIt’s not true of their cheaper products, the POs especially. The EP series are also good bang for buck. The OP series, along with the TP-7, TX-6 are luxury goods. If you’re trying to save money, they’re not for you. They are nice though.

- oddmade 5mo agoThanks for the link ! I would have loved that device in my teens. In fact reckon I'll buy one for my nephew. Cheers

- millzlane 5mo agoAny used Akai device. Depending on how old I would say get them the new standalone device called the mpc one+. If the price is too steep look for a used midi device from Akai. Honesty, a used cell phone would make a better pocket operator.
