Teenage Engineering PO Modular 170 is a monophonic analog synthesizer
with built-in keyboard, programmable sequencer, speaker box and battery
pack. 9 modules in total, 8 patch cables plus a manual.

Teenage Engineering’s Pocket Operator Modular 170 is an all-in-one
synthesis environment perfect for those who are just starting their
modular journey, or those looking to deepen their own practice. This
system comes in a full kit that includes a set of modules and the
enclosure to house them!

The 170’s voice architecture is comprised
of four modules: an oscillator, a filter, envelope generator, and a
VCA. The oscillator module produces a pure square wave. It features
three audio outputs, and inputs called Control, Key, and PWM. The Key
input is set to 1V/Oct and perfect for creating classical tonal harmony,
while the Control input provides a scaled CV control for pitch
modulation effects. The PWM input is used for pulse width modulation,
allowing for classic 1980s bass and lead sounds.

Next in our synth
voice is the filter! The Filter module utilizes one audio input and
three audio outputs, as well as two CV inputs. The 170’s Envelope module
features two CV outputs and an input for triggering the envelope. It
acts as a traditional ADSR, with knob controls for each stage of the
envelope. Our last strictly voice related module is the VCA, providing
one audio input and two audio outputs.

The 170 also features two
control modules as well. The first is an LFO with dedicated outputs for
square and triangle waveshapes. The rate of the LFO’s waveform cycle is
controlled via a knob in the lower left corner of the module. Now we
move onto the 170’s Keyboard module. The Keyboard is a seemingly Serge
TKB-inspired module: a keyboard/sequencer combo with physical input
pattern programming as well as knobs for note adjustment. The module
also has a run command, as well as CV inputs for resetting your sequence
back to the first step.

The convergence of so much functionality
serves to make the 170 a truly unique synthesis environment, and would
make a wonderful addition to anyone’s setup!

Pocket Operator Modular 170 Features

• Easy-to-build DIY kit

• Full modular synthesizer with 7 modules

• One oscillator (Square wave)

• One lowpass filter

• One ADSR envelope generator

• One VCA

• One LFO

• One POmodular 16 keyboard/sequencer

• Includes step by step build instructions

Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular System includes the 400, a
yellow synthesizer with 3 oscillators, noise generator filter and
sequencer. The 170 is a smaller synthesizer than the 400 with just a
single oscillator, but it includes a powerful sequencer. and touch
keyboard. The 16 is just the sequencer and touch keyboard by itself.

For this video we added some drums with the PO-32 Tonic. The Pocket
Operator Modular System easily syncs with Pocket Operators and can also
run on batteries.
