Teenage Engineering’s Pocket Operator series goes modular
I&#x27;ve been wanting to buy a new analog synthesizer for a few years now, but i almost always balk at the price of these things. I can afford these things, but they never feel like a sound financial choice.<p>Personally, I blame the Raspberry Pi. Having played with a quad-core, 1GHz device with a GPU and wifi chip that retails for ~$30, i just can&#x27;t see myself dropping $300 - $500 on an underpowered analog synthesizer...i&#x27;ve mostly just moved to digital synthesis now, which is quite enriching and fun. if anyone&#x27;s in the same boat as me, I&#x27;d highly recommend nanoloop, which is quite fun to make music with on your phone: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nanoloop.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nanoloop.com&#x2F;</a><p>I get that the analog synthesizers have a great musical feel and history to them, but i just don&#x27;t think they provide that much more utility or flexibility than 10-100x cheaper digital instruments.
