Experience a fresh new way to create music using your thumbs with the Pocket Operator - Factory PO-16. With its pocket size, animated graphics, real synthesizer engines, sync, punch-in effects, built-in speaker, alarm clock and impossibly low price, the Factory PO-16 makes creating electronic music tons of fun. The PO-16 Factory model is a melodic synthesizer and sequencer with parameter locks punch-in effects, arpeggio and chord play styles.

Pocket operators are cleverly designed on a single circuit board. By placing all vital and sensitive components under the LCD display there's no need for an outer case, which saves costs and leaves room for high-quality components to guarantee the best possible sound and very low power consumption. The space under the display also doubles as a speaker box.
