Another highlight of the NAMM show was Teenage Engineering and Cheap Monday's introduction of three new Pocket Operator synths. Like last year's PO-12, PO-14 and PO-16, these new calculator-sized synths are also priced at $59 apiece and are pretty fully-featured for such small devices. The Arcade and Robot synths offer some great 8-bit sounds while Office is more of a rhythm machine. Hear them all in our video above.
