As someone who has written a lot of music using Pocket Operators I disagree. They have been part of my songwriting tool chain for years and have pretty much worked their way into every recording I've made since I bought them. They are the perfect accompaniment when sitting down with a guitar to write music either acting as a metronome, a groove to jam over, or a complete drum/bass/synth backup with an arrangement (16 patterns and 128 measures is enough to write a good song). Also, Pocket Operators are cheap as hell, most under $100.
What's your favorite PO? (or even a couple favorites)
I loved playing with the one I have (I can't remember which it is off the top of my head). But it never became a major part of my music noodling workflow and now is collecting dust somewhere.
I do remember at some point that a friend got a different one and I was struck with jealousy over all the cool stuff it could do that mine didn't. Maybe it's time to check out a different one. Any recommendations?
