Not done making stuff! Made these Lil’ Speaker Guys and some purple Spaceman stands to match the PO BOY Pocket Operator case. 👾 They will be available on beatmakersboutique.com this Friday.👀

My new portable synth rig! I can shut the lid, zip it up, and carry it wherever

I’m rockin’ a dual-USB power bank under a white “brand-less” Bluetooth speaker (one of those you get at corporate events with some random company’s name) powering the LED lights and the Retrokits RK-005 (now discontinued 🪦).

I’d like to get a similarly sized power bank, ~ 2.5” x 5” with such a slim and light profile, but have 3 USB type A ports instead of 2. I’d like to power my synth, the Roland Boutique JX-08, in case its 4 AA batteries ever die. The JX-08 is USB-C and RK is micro-USB. Hmmm. If not, I can just unplug the lights or use my AA battery-powered LED strip used for bicycles. Lights add a very fun component, especially lights triggered by sound!

If I’d go out in public, I’d swap that speaker with my JBL pill. As you can see, RED is my FAV color. ❤️ I also have a cable with a male aux to female 1/4” so I could plug in a guitar cable to connect to a louder amp.

The RK-005 syncs the master tempo of my Roland JX-08 boutique synth to the P0k3T0 splitter that sends to the Arcade and K.O! Pocket Operators.

Peep the LA-based hardware builder! Their projects are incredible. Must have accessories for a Pocket Operator IMHO.

I’m able to mix the audio of all three instruments passively via the Little Bear mixer (find on Amazon). It does just fine being a low-profile passive mixer! The fewer batteries, the better IMHO. Thanks to the P0k3T0, I can independently mix each Pocket Operator too.

Lastly, the cool coiled AUX cables are called Candycords from an amazing (seriously) company called myVolts. Must-see website for power, cables, and so much more. They also keep a great Instagram profile…

More to come! Here’s a jam if you’re wondering how it sounds :)

I've been making a lot of music lately. Here's a track from the start of the summer made using direct recordings of my Pocket Operator K.O. and my Behringer JT-4000 mini. Lots of fiddly fun and I'm happy with the results. Please check it out and keep an eye out for further recordings. I am also going to potentially post more drawings on here again soon.

Does anybody know exactly what I need to get/do record from these to computer (laptop)? I have a vague idea but not any concrete information 😔 so if anyone knows anything please drop some knowledge on me!!

A ghost came to me last night and told me that if I didn't make an absolute DNB banger on Nov 1st I would be taken by ghouls(bad) The ghost also told me everyone has to reblog or the ghouls will get you(not good)

T.E. EP-133 K.O. Jam 02/08/24

I made a whole song with the Pocket Operator!

I didn't have to record the video in VCV Rack, but it just seemed right to have a couple cables strewn about, even if the whole song was written & perfomed on totally unrelated hardware

The hardest part was picking Visualizer modules that didn't take up a whole row or get super obnoxious right away

Little jam my pocket operators and new circuit rhythm sampler sequencer. It’s so cool how the circuit can send the master clock to the pocket operators…
