Pocket Operators
~99 EUR.
Pocket Operators are small, battery-powered synthesizers. They are designed to be used on the go, and are controlled by a single knob. They are also compatible with each other, and can be used to create complex, multi-layered sounds.
They also have a built-in speaker, and can be used as a standalone instrument.
Probably the best choice to start with is the PO-33.
Limitations:
- 4 voices (polyphony)
- 4s sample length
