A Pocket Operator Designed for Groove and Bass
The PO-14 Sub belongs to the Pocket Operator range, a family of compact instruments designed to make electronic creation instant and fun. Each model has its own sonic identity; the PO-14 positions itself as the "bass" solution in the lineup: a small dedicated synthesizer ready to lay down a solid foundation in a portable set or studio session. The idea is simple: connect them together, sync them, and run your pocket "band" with quality sound.Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This synthesizer is aimed at both beginners and experienced musicians who want an efficient tool without complex menus to program basses and sequences. It is particularly suited to styles where the low end leads the way: techno, electro, house, synthwave, hip-hop, rhythmic ambient, or minimal sound design. In live performance, it becomes a performance instrument thanks to effects, "punch-in," and the 16-step sequencer; in the studio, it serves as a quick idea generator and an immediately usable bass layer.Features and New Additions
The PO-14 Sub features a true synthesis engine focused on bass, complemented by samples and an intuitive interface designed for thumb-based composition. Programming relies on a 16-step sequencer and 16 patterns to structure your grooves, build variations, and switch between ideas in seconds. On the performance side, you benefit from "parameter locks" to automate parameters step-by-step, "step re-trig" to thicken a pattern, and "punch-in" to add instant interventions. To shape the sound, the PO-14 offers 16 effects as well as an automatic compressor and a hardware limiter, useful for keeping bass firm and controlled. Graphic animations contribute to visual feedback, while synchronization allows easy integration of the instrument into a Pocket Operator setup. Finally, the built-in speaker enables use without accessories, although it is recommended to connect headphones or an amplified system to fully exploit the bass energy.Technical specifications

Really nice the power that this small PO-14 gives off, one of the best in the range, in addition to a PO-12 or other to have a drum machine next to it.
