I've had the KO for a while now and it's a cool little thing. Probably the best of the PO's. It's especially great for chopping up beat samples and resequencing them. I actually used it in the track a contributed to the latest cab collective compilation.  Also got the 'Speak' but barely use it and probably going to sell it.
If you need any help with the KO I'll be happy to.

There's definitely a big market for these cool little music gadgets.
The Loopop fella on YouTube is great for this type of gear.. Here's a couple of wacky ones https://youtu.be/lKUGn5Jbi1A

ooof, those are fucking pricey aren't they?!

I was playing with my Arduino (oo-er) yesterday and remembered Adafruit exists. Gifts for proper nerds here:

Can people please tell me what I want for Christmas.

No more than £100.

You all know the sort of stuff I like by now surely.


Finally. An instrument I can play with my hands.

Actually, that does look pretty cool.

Just realised I could play a Theremin with me cock. potentially hours of fun making the pitch increase as yer old chap gets nearer to the antenna I reckon.

Actually anything involving the cock is work, not play.

Looks like the kind of thing I'd want, but I'm always very sceptical of products on Kickstarter. That Drum & Bass demo sounds way too clean and perfect to be actually coming 'live' from that device.

And then the very slow descent in pitch as your erectile dysfunction takes hold. Maybe take some Viagra as prep for playing an Indian raga...

That would look absolutely delightful next to all the other stuff I don't know how to use.

Yes, it looks like a fun thing I don't need and would have no justification to buy...

I got Mr Jam a Pocket Operator for Xmas and he seems to be enjoying it, so cheers for that recommendation. He got me a KaWeCo fountain pen- a green plastic one with a gold pocket clip- and it's a beaut, writes very smoothly and has been a joy to use so far, so thanks for that too.

Mr Jam got me a Build Your Own Robot kit with an Arduino, and I have enjoyed playing with this immensely:

Mainly been using the sonar obstacle detection function and watching cute little Florrie (as I have named her) zipping round the living room not bumping into things and whipping her "head" around like Johnny 5 from Short Circuit. I'm planning to get back into learning Arduino coding and trying to modify her- I might put a little drone camera on her or see if I can get her to "dance" to music or build little traffic lights with LEDs and see if I can get her to recognise the colours and respond, or something.

I'm also thinking of getting a little robot arm kit and seeing if I can turn Florrie into a crane and get her to fetch me a cup of tea or something.

I do have one of the POs - the rhythm one. They are pretty intuitive, and the sample one looks equally user friendly. I've already got an MPC 500 and a Zoom Sampletrak that lie unused though, so I think I have my sampling needs covered.

Would be good if you could play a tune just by varying the turgidity.

I suspect a lot of the demo videos are using it as a controller with Ableton or Logic or similar. Some of them say as much in the video description or comments. This one, apparently, is using only the built-in sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDj_gl0klXM
