The circuit board thingy next to it is a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-33KO - which is a mini sampler/sequencer: https://teenage.engineering/products/po. Source: 11 months ago
However, it also sucks that a lot of other companies tend to price-out newcomers. But that said, and I've noticed people are quick to forget in this kind of conversation: a lot of those same companies have gear for under $100 (yes, even Teenage Engineering). I know pro-composers/music producers who use this stuff professionally and swear by them. Source: 12 months ago
Beyond a toy like that, there's also standalone music making gear that might be for fun for kids (and adults) to play with and probably won't hurt your wallet that much, specifically the Pocket Operator line of synthesizers. Source: about 1 year ago
On left is a rack of Volcas - looks like a Sample, Bass and Mix. Below that is a Model:Samples from Elektron. To the right of those is a mini rack of Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators. Source: about 1 year ago
Nice! Reminds me of these little Teenage Engineering machines, which have a similar UX but are a the size of a calculator. A lot of fun to mess around with https://teenage.engineering/products/po. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

The Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators are also fantastic and make quite the noise (https://teenage.engineering/products/po). Source: over 1 year ago
There are lots of ways to make beats. I’d probably try to keep the cost down right now and maybe get a standalone device, like the pocket operators (here (PO32 is an excellent portable drum machine that’s the size of a mobile phone). I’d also suggest looking at the Novation circuit rhythm as a larger more beat pad like device rhythm. If he’s adamant on getting an actual beat pad, look at the Novation launchpad...

I'm currently working on a school usability project about the Teenage Engineering website and I noticed the Pocket Operator page describes a lot of features and specifications, but not necessarily the main function and how it works (pocket operators - teenage engineering). Would you say the website does a good job of explaining what a pocket operator actually does for someone who has no musical background? Or did... Source: over 1 year ago
Whoa! I don't know anything about it, but this would make a sick case for Pocket Operators!!! Source: over 1 year ago
I agree on the dancing, I could definitely do without that. Also, I think Teenage Engineering's pocket synthesizers are a much more fun way of making beats/tunes. Source: almost 2 years ago
Try some pocket operators maybe, they're fun. PO-12, PO-24 or PO-33. Source: about 2 years ago
Re 33/35. Apart from a difference in pre-loaded sounds I think you'll find on https://teenage.engineering/products/po is that 33 has 40 seconds of sample memory while 35 has 120 seconds. OTOH 33 has 16 effects while 35 has just 8 (but targetted at voice). Source: about 2 years ago
(For those wondering, Pocket Operators are music tools/toys that look something like a calculator with the cover off. They have no internet connectivity, so the possible change can't be due to any sort of software update.). Source: about 2 years ago

Love that idea. My buddy turned me on to the Teenage Engineers Pocket Operators a couple years ago. I've had lots of fun with them. Source: over 2 years ago
Hello, I am interested in a simple tool to make simple music on linux. If possible in the terminal but at least with extensive keyboard support. I am aware, that the 'best' option in all likelihood would be an actual DAW like LMMS, but I get easily overwhelmed with the options and there is so much to learn. I would like to be limited, because I believe, that being limited can help your creativity. So I would... Source: over 2 years ago
See if they have any of the Pocket Operators, really fun little devices for synth/sound design nerds and very much present themselves like old school handheld gaming devices: https://teenage.engineering/products/po. Source: over 2 years ago
Its basically a circuit board, even the hanging part is part of the board. https://teenage.engineering/products/po. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
