## Quick Read

- Start here: Choose the workflow first. - Pocket sampling, step sequencing, tape-style recording, listening, and building a kit reward different habits.
- Model check: Similar names can mean different hardware. - PO-133, EP-133, PO-16, POM-16, original OP-1, and OP-1 field are distinct purchases.
- Buying caveat: A product link is not a stock guarantee. - Match the edition, condition, revision, seller, and included accessories before checkout.

## Start here

**Buy the workflow you will use, then match the exact model.**

PO-33 is the starting point for tiny sample sketches; EP-133 K.O. II is the step toward hands-on sample performance. OP-Z suits someone who wants to program evolving sequences, while the field instruments and recording tools make sense when their specific workflow earns the larger commitment. Speakers, PC cases, modular kits, and design objects solve different problems, so a higher price is not a universal upgrade. This guide covers the catalog by family, including lower-cost instruments and compatibility accessories. Marketplace links identify exact products where corroborated; they do not promise stock, a particular seller, or a current price.

## Buying matrix

**Choose a job before choosing a family.**

| Your aim | Shortlist | Why it fits | Main compromise |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Smallest sampling experiment | PO-33 K.O! | A focused pocket sampler. | Small controls and a deliberately constrained workflow. |
| Hands-on beat performance | EP-133 K.O. II | Larger performance controls and a sample-led workflow. | Check hardware revision and learn the project structure. |
| Theme-led music making | EP-1320 medieval or EP-40 riddim | Curated sound worlds and performance effects. | Theme and factory content matter more than the case color. |
| Detailed portable sequencing | OP-Z or OP-XY | Pattern-based composition and sequencing. | Compare interface, connections, and editing approach before moving up. |
| Recording and mixing | OP-1 field, TP-7, TX-6, CM-15 | Different roles within a compact production setup. | These are complementary devices, not interchangeable recorders. |
| Listening | OB-4 or OD-11 | Portable radio/loop interaction versus home wireless listening. | Check input and network needs rather than matching the brand alone. |
| Building and patching | POM-16/170/400 or Computer-1/2 | A physical assembly project. | The sequencer and PC cases do not produce music or compute on their own. |

## Pocket Operators

**Choose the sound engine; the shared calculator shape hides real differences.**

The nine core Pocket Operators are different instruments. Their small footprint makes a single-purpose purchase sensible; buying the whole family is not necessary. CA-X cases and 3.5 mm sync/audio connections help build a portable setup, but verify sync mode before connecting other gear. The official metal-series name groups PO-32, PO-33, and PO-35; it is not evidence of additional metal-case versions.

| Model | Main role | Buying reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PO-12 Rhythm | Drums | For building a rhythmic foundation. |
| PO-14 Sub | Bass | For bass parts alongside a drum unit. |
| PO-16 Factory | Melody synthesis | For melodic lines. |
| PO-20 Arcade | Arcade sounds and chords | For an intentionally game-like palette. |
| PO-24 Office | Noise percussion | For mechanical textures rather than conventional drums. |
| PO-28 Robot | Lead synthesis | For live lead parts. |
| PO-32 Tonic | Drum synthesis | For a drum-focused workflow with Microtonic sound-transfer context. |
| PO-33 K.O! | Sampling | For your own recorded sounds; official sample memory is 40 seconds. |
| PO-35 Speak | Voice synthesis | For changing sampled voices rather than general-purpose sampling. |

## Licensed editions

**Buy a licensed edition for its sounds and artwork, not an assumed new platform.**

| Edition | What changes | Caveat |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PO-128 Mega Man | Capcom melodic edition related to PO-28 | Choose the licensed sound set; verify the precise edition. |
| PO-133 Street Fighter | Capcom sampler related to PO-33 | A themed sampling option, not EP-133 K.O. II. |
| PO-33 Ghostly | Limited collaboration variant | Compare its included sounds and collectible premium with a standard PO-33. |
| PO-137 Rick & Morty | Historical licensed voice-synth edition | Historical catalog evidence does not establish new stock or a current warranty. |

## EP family

**Sampling, themed instruments, a mixer, and a microphone are different purchases.**

| Model | Role | Choose it when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| EP-133 K.O. II | General sample performance | Start here for your own beats; confirm the physical revision. The official page ties 128 MB storage to paper-foam packaging SKU TE032AS002, so do not assume an older listing includes it. |
| EP-1320 medieval | Medieval factory sounds and themed effects | Choose it for that palette. The official comparison leaves 32 MB for user samples, so it is a poor substitute for a larger personal sample library. |
| EP-40 riddim | Reggae, dub, and dancehall-oriented system | Choose the genre-specific content and synth engine deliberately. |
| EP-136 K.O.-SIDEKICK | Mixer, performance effects, and audio interface | Useful when combining sources or performing effects. It is not another K.O. II sampler. |
| EP-2350 FX-MIC | Handheld vocal effects and sample triggering | Standalone lo-fi performance microphone with replaceable samples and editable effect presets. Match the FX-MIC edition. |
| EP-2350 ting | Named handheld performance microphone edition | The official ting page also supports replaceable samples and editable effect presets. Choose the exact edition; do not assume a functional upgrade from the name alone. |

## OP-Z

**Decide which external connection you need before buying a module.**

OP-Z is a portable sequencer and synthesizer with optional screen feedback through its companion app. Its step components can vary a pattern over time, making it a different choice from recording a performance to tape. The expansion modules have separate jobs; an OPLAB listing must explicitly mean the OP-Z module, because the older standalone OPLAB is discontinued.

| Item | What it adds | Compatibility question |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OP-Z | Portable sequencing and synthesis | Try the button workflow and check companion-device support. |
| Line module | Stereo input plus extra stereo output; MIDI, trigger, and PO sync connections | For external audio and live routing. |
| OPLAB module for OP-Z | CV and gate connections | For controlling compatible modular gear; verify electrical and cable requirements. |
| Rumble module | Haptic feedback | For tactile sensation, not an external subwoofer or audio-output upgrade. |
| Soft case and grip-knob kit | Protection and handling | Buy the OP-Z-specific accessory, not an OP-1-sized substitute. |

## Field system

**The five field devices cover separate stages of making and recording sound.**

OP-XY, OP-1 field, TP-7, TX-6, and CM-15 form the official field-system lineup. Read the companion Teenage Engineering Field System Buyer Guide, linked in Sources, for the detailed connections and workflow comparison. The original OP-1 is an earlier generation and remains a separate buying decision; a marketplace title saying only OP-1 must not be treated as OP-1 field.

| Model | Job | Buying question |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OP-XY | Sequencing-led instrument | Start with how you arrange patterns. |
| OP-1 field | Portable instrument and tape-style recording | Start with playing and recording performances. |
| TP-7 | Recorder | For capture and playback rather than generating a complete synth arrangement. |
| TX-6 | Mixer and interface | For combining sources; count the needed connections. |
| CM-15 | Microphone | For capture; plan the rest of the recording chain. |
| Original OP-1 | Earlier OP-1 generation | Compare exact model, battery condition, connections, and seller support. |

## Speakers

**OB-4 is the portable listening experiment; OD-11 is the home-system route.**

| Item | Best use | Caveat |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OB-4 | Bluetooth, line-in, FM, and interactive replay/loop features | Its rolling two-hour buffer is a listening/performance feature. Do not treat it as an archival recording workflow. |
| OD-11 | Wireless home listening with AirPlay 2 and stereo/multiroom support | Plan the home network and decide whether a single speaker or a pair fits the room. |
| Ortho Remote | Physical wireless control | Check supported controls for the intended OB-4/OD-11 setup; it is not a speaker. |
| OB-4 colors and Mind Games Edition; OD-11 black/white and stereo sets | Finish, edition, or bundle choices | A color change does not prove a technical upgrade. Confirm quantity and edition at checkout. |

## Modular kits

**POM-16 controls a synth; POM-170 and POM-400 make sound.**

These are self-assembly kits. Follow the supplied assembly and power instructions before patching; their physical format is not a promise of drop-in Eurorack compatibility.

| Kit or module group | Role | Before buying |
| --- | --- | --- |
| POM-16 | Keyboard/sequencer sending control signals | No sound engine: it needs a compatible instrument to control. Do not confuse it with PO-16 Factory. |
| POM-170 | Monophonic analog synth kit | The smaller self-contained patching route, with a keyboard/sequencer. |
| POM-400 | Larger analog synth kit | For more patching possibilities; choose it because you want to assemble and learn a modular system. |
| M-1/M-2/M-3; M-4/M-5/M-6/M-7 | Oscillators; filter, envelope, VCA, mixer | Replacement or expansion parts must match the intended system. |
| M-8/M-9/M-10/M-11/M-12; M-14/M-15 | Noise, random, LFO, speaker, sequencer; power distribution/PSU | Check mounting and power compatibility; individual modules are not complete instruments. |

## Record Factory

**PO-80 is a lo-fi making project, not a substitute for professional record mastering.**

PO-80, made with Yuri Suzuki, is a self-assembly cutter/player for small records. Its 5-inch blanks and replacement cutting head are consumables, so their availability matters as much as the base machine. The manufacturer recommends preparing audio with its mastering tool and warns that incorrect assembly can damage the unit; its stated direct-store return conditions change once assembly begins. Check the actual seller’s terms before starting. Sharp and small parts make this unsuitable for young children. APC-2 is a separate professional limited collaboration through SUPERSENSE, not a PO-80 upgrade package.

| Item | Role | Buying reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PO-80 | Self-assembly lo-fi record cutter/player | For experimenting with physical releases. |
| 5-inch blank record packs | Recording media | Verify PO-80-compatible blanks, quantity, and condition. |
| Replacement cutting head | Consumable service part | Confirm the exact PO-80 part. |
| Record Factory bag | Carry accessory | Protects the kit; does not add recording capability. |

## PC cases

**Computer-1 and Computer-2 are empty cases, not finished computers.**

| Model | What you buy | Fit check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Computer-1 orange or aluminum | Flat-pack mini-ITX aluminum case | Components are separate. Official limits include an SFX supply, dual-slot GPU up to 180 × 130 × 40 mm, and 120 mm CPU-cooler height from the motherboard surface. |
| Computer-2 | Single-sheet plastic mini-ITX case | Components are separate. The official page specifies an SFX supply and dual-slot GPU up to 180 mm; do not copy Computer-1 cooler-clearance assumptions. |

## Accessories

**Spend on a working connection before adding a matching bag.**

| Group | What it can solve | Compatibility boundary |
| --- | --- | --- |
| M-1 personal monitor headphones | Monitoring and voice sampling | Foldable headphones with microphones and a 3.5 mm TRRS cable; separate from the POM M-1 square-oscillator module. Check headset wiring for the intended device. |
| CA-X / older CA-series PO cases | Protect the intended Pocket Operator model | Check microphone access and model fit; a case is not another instrument. |
| EP pegs, pads, covers, bags, and FX-MIC bundles | Mounting, protection, and performance setup | Check included instrument versus accessory-only wording. EP-133 memory revision still needs confirmation in a bundle. |
| OP-Z modules, soft case, and grip knobs | Routing and handling | Choose the module function before buying the matching shell or bag. |
| Field cables, adapters, tripod mini, wraps, and soft cases | Connect and carry the field devices | Match plug type, signal level, cable wiring, and model dimensions; shared styling is not compatibility proof. |
| OB-4 mesh bags, duty totes, straps, and Ortho Remote | Carry and control | Match the speaker model and edition. |
| PO-80 blanks, cutting head, and bag; POM PSU/distro parts | Consumables and maintenance | A usable system depends on the correct replacement part and power specification. |
| Field/duty bags, backpack, waist bag, bottles, notebooks, keychains, batteries | Carry gear and merchandise | Useful only when size, chemistry, quantity, or carry fit meets the job; no musical capability is implied. |

## Design and legacy

**Keep art objects, media, and discontinued hardware separate from studio tools.**

| Item or family | What it is | Why the distinction matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Choir Carlo, Gisela, Bogdan, Hatshepsut, Ivana, Miki, Olga, Leila; ensembles | Interactive singing wooden objects | Choose voices and exact ensemble contents; not reference-monitor speakers. A listing for one doll does not establish another voice or a set. |
| Grip Car | Desk/toy design object | Finish variants are a design choice, not music hardware. |
| Field Desk, rail tray, and tape holder | Workspace furniture and attachments | Measure the workspace and exact rail fit. |
| Sinus Transmission Completed; EP vinyl, tapes, and slip mats | Media and design merchandise | A record or slip mat is not the associated EP instrument. |
| APC-2 | Limited professional disc-recording collaboration | Official route is SUPERSENSE; do not treat it as ordinary marketplace inventory. |
| Original OPLAB #861 | Explicitly discontinued standalone hardware | Distinct from the OP-Z OPLAB module. Verify used condition and compatibility before purchase. |

## Review signal

**Check the workflow before buying.**

Independent testing helps interpret the specifications, but reviews of old firmware and hardware revisions are not current stock evidence. MusicRadar’s 2025 EP-1320 review liked the themed sounds while criticizing its control labeling and limited user-sample space. Its 2020 POM-16 review found capable sequencing but disliked the touch keyboard and battery-access procedure. Those are reasons to try the interface, not measured failure rates. In an owner discussion about moving beyond PO-33, people disagreed about whether EP or OP workflows felt easier; that anecdotal disagreement supports watching a complete save/edit/export demonstration before buying, rather than assuming a larger device is simpler.

## Remaining catalog

**These catalog items remain in scope even without a verified buying link.**

The linked tables cover 41 distinct Amazon US product identities from this dated audit, including all nine standard Pocket Operators, six EP instrument/microphone editions, and the five field-system devices. The catalog is broader than those links. The groups below were retained from the official inventory but did not yield an accepted exact US listing in the bounded searches. This is not proof of absence, out-of-stock status, or discontinuation; only the original standalone OPLAB has an explicit discontinued label. Colorways, historical bundles, and merchandise were grouped, so this is a catalog-family coverage hub rather than a claim to have enumerated every Amazon seller offer.

| Catalog group | Unresolved items or variants | What this means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OP-Z additions | Rumble module, soft case, grip knobs | No exact Amazon US link verified; do not substitute Line or OPLAB. |
| EP bundles and extras | K.O. II/Sidekick plus FX-MIC, riddim/ting bundles, pads, pegs, covers, vinyl, tape | Component links do not prove a bundle or included accessories. |
| Licensed and limited Pocket Operators | PO-128 Mega Man, PO-33 Ghostly, PO-137 Rick & Morty | No exact US instrument link verified. PO-133 Street Fighter is linked separately. |
| Other CA-X finishes | Black, red, CPU and other case variants beyond blue/yellow/gray | No exact variant link verified; do not inherit a linked color. |
| Modular instruments and parts | POM-16/170/400; M-1 to M-12, M-14 power distribution, M-15 PSU | No exact kit/module link verified. M-1 headphones are unrelated. |
| Record Factory | PO-80, blank record packs, cutting head, bag | No exact US link verified; a different brand’s cutter is not the same product. |
| OB-4 variants | Matte black, gray, navy, ochre, orange, Mind Games Edition and bundles | Generic OB-4, white and red links do not verify the remaining finishes. |
| OD-11 and controls | Black/white variants, stereo sets; Ortho Remote colors | The generic OD-11 link has no verified color; remote and set links remain unverified. |
| PC cases | Computer-1 orange and Computer-2 | Aluminum Computer-1 is linked; orange and Computer-2 are not verified. |
| Workspace | Field Desk, rail, tray, tape holder | No exact Amazon US link verified. |
| Carry gear | Field backpack/waist bag, OP-1/OP-Z bags, OB-4 tote, duty bags, bottles, pouches | No exact brand-and-model link verified; third-party compatible bags are not substituted. |
| Remaining Choir voices and sets | Carlo, Bogdan, Hatshepsut, Leila, ensembles and mini-ensembles | Four named dolls are linked; a single doll does not verify a set. |
| Design objects | Grip Car red/black/aluminum | No exact Amazon US variant link verified. |
| Limited professional system | APC-2 | Official partner route is SUPERSENSE; no ordinary Amazon US listing verified. |
| Media | Sinus Transmission Completed and related media releases | No exact Amazon US link verified; records are not instruments. |
| Legacy OPLAB | Original standalone #861 | Officially discontinued; no current OP-Z module link may stand in for it. |
| Other accessories and merchandise | Tripod mini, field splitter, batteries, USB-C cables, leather wraps, record media, tapes, keychains, pins, apparel | No exact links verified beyond the specific cable/case/headphone rows above; grouped rather than omitted. |

## Cheat sheet

**Check these details before checkout.**

- Write down the exact model: PO-133 is not EP-133, POM-16 is not PO-16, and OP-1 is not automatically OP-1 field.
- For EP-133, confirm the packaging/SKU and storage revision with the seller instead of inferring it from a generic family listing.
- For every marketplace offer, verify seller, condition, warranty, quantity, included cables or modules, return window, and delivery location.
- No price or stock promise is made here. A missing verified link means this research did not establish a suitable listing; it does not mean the product is unavailable.
- Choose one instrument that matches how you compose, then add the connection, case, or consumable that makes it usable. As an Amazon Associate, Field Guides may earn from qualifying purchases.
