Teenage Engineering PO-12 rhythm Cheat Sheet

Added 2022-01-10 07:00:03 +0000 UTC

Here's the Cheat Sheet for the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-12 rhythm. As simple as that fun little barebones calculator seems - some functions aren't that obvious. For example it took me way too long to realize that you can fine tune sounds and then place them on the sequencer without live recording parameter automation (it's explained in the troubleshooting section).

What really surprised me was that the manual is plain wrong about the substep divisions (it's 2/3/4/6/8, not 2/4/8/16). I recorded them to make sure, and the waveform doesn't lie. Could be one of those silent firmware revisions though, so please report back if your PO-12 behaves differently.

We hope this will be useful to you. If anything should be unclear, if you find an error or you feel like something is missing just drop us a line - either here in the comments or via PM. Click here to see a list of all Captain Pikant Cheat Sheets.
