Teenage Engineering PO-20 Arcade – Pocket Chiptune Synthesizer & Sequencer
The Teenage Engineering PO-20 Arcade is a compact chiptune-style synthesizer and step sequencer that captures the nostalgic sound of vintage video game arcades. Designed for beatmakers, synth enthusiasts, and retro sound lovers, the PO-20 delivers high-energy 8-bit melodies, arpeggios, and basslines—all in a fun, portable package.

The 16-step sequencer includes pattern chaining and parameter locks, giving you deep control over pitch, rhythm, and effects. Real-time performance effects like stutter, filter, delay, and bit-crush allow for expressive and dynamic jams.
