Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot – Pocket Melodic Synthesizer & Sequencer
The Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot is a powerful, portable lead synthesizer and sequencer, delivering futuristic 8-bit melodies and robotic textures in the iconic Pocket Operator format. Perfect for electronic musicians, chiptune creators, and synth lovers, the PO-28 brings instant creativity to your pocket with real-time playability, step sequencing, and performance effects.
The PO-28 features 15 melodic synth sounds and one micro drum kit, designed to emulate classic arcade leads and robotic tones. Its 16-step sequencer allows you to program complex patterns, chain sequences, and lock parameters per step. You can tweak pitch, filter, distortion, and modulation to create dynamic and evolving lead lines. With 16 built-in performance effects, including stutter, glitch, and delay, the PO-28 is made for spontaneous live jamming and expressive sequencing.
Like all Pocket Operators, the PO-28 syncs easily with other POs and external gear via analog sync, and runs on two AAA batteries with a built-in speaker and animated LCD display for on-the-go music making.
