About
PO-PatchStudio designs drum sounds and patterns for Teenage Engineering's Pocket Operator PO-32 Tonic, then sends them to the device as sound, over the same acoustic transfer the hardware itself uses. Now on iPhone and iPad.
If you own a PO-32 Tonic you know the squeeze: a brilliant drum engine, one knob and a screen the size of a stamp. This app is the studio behind it. Design your sounds with real controls, sequence patterns on a hardware-style faceplate, then hold your phone up to the device and send the whole kit across as sound. No cables.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Design all 16 sounds with the full 21-parameter Tonic drum engine, with A/B morphing between two sounds
- Sequence the four mono voice lanes with accent, lane fill and per-step morph, the way the hardware plays them
- Play a PO-32-style faceplate: pads, write mode, live pitch and morph pots, and a fullscreen play view
- Send sounds, patterns or a whole kit to the device through the speaker
- Capture the device's backup dump with the microphone and rebuild your kit from it, even from a rough recording
- Exchange sounds with Sonic Charge Microtonic (.mtdrum and .mtpreset)
- Keep kits, sounds, patterns and device snapshots in the Library, and share kits on SquareWave Network

COMPLETELY FREE

ABOUT THE MICROPHONE
The app only listens while you are capturing a transfer or backup from the device. Nothing is recorded otherwise.
A NOTE FROM ME
I am a solo developer. I built PO-PatchStudio because I wanted grown-up software for this little machine, and I keep improving it based on what the community asks for. If something is missing or broken, tell me.
