New Arcade Pocket Operators PO-2x

If you haven't heard of Teenage Engineering before (or you had but haven't heard of the new Arcade series) just check these out! I am amazed and blown away :)

This is not an ad – the reason I am posting it here is that they were developed in collaboration with LFT aka Linus Åkesson! Congrats! I am buying myself PO-20 now.

It happens to be developed partially by Lft, this guy: Lft
Aka the Chipophone guy...! He's also the guy talking and playing in the videos.
So, the world is much smaller than you'd ever think...! / Pex

Hi!

Thanks for bringing it up here!

Yeah, I had the privilege of being brought in as some kind of 8-bit consultant, and essentially got free hands in designing the software and sounds for these machines. So I ripped out nearly all of the code from the earlier models and started over. That being said, the good people at Teenage Engineering were quite involved, so they also deserve credit.

The PO-24 contains authentic hardware noise, recorded with contact microphone from my very own C64, 1541, A1200 and Panasonic printer. So yes, this belongs in "C64 Composing". =)

Any chance of a c64 hardware add-on in a similar fashion?
Great work by the way... :)

I've added more material over here, including a press interview and a third-party tutorial.

@FATFrost: You mean some kind of cartridge for the C64 that lets you make music in the style of C64? That's a bit... Well, I can't think of an equivalent English proverb right now, but in Sweden we say you shouldn't cross the river to get water. =)

Great sounds.
I absolutely love that super ultra minimal design. True art.

@lft, sorry I meant a hardware interface with switches and knobs with audio outputs, and sequencing capabilities without using the keyboard and maybe have some I/o for LEDs and other things to control in the style of an arduino. I think a unit that sits under the c64 that connects at the back also and sticks out a little at the front so it feels like an all in one device for beat mashing as well. Maybe i'll sketch up a design... ;)
