nice
Just brainstorming here:
Speak and spell emulator? Seems like a pretty TE-ish kind of idea to me.
KO - boxing - punching - OP1 punch effect? maybe like a tiny digital version of an Analog Heat? : )

Ko is Swedish for Cow (CWO). I think the new ones will both be collabs with Lindstrom again base on his Bitspeek and Echobode (basis for CWO effect) softwares.
Bits speak would be boss.

Yeah, I thought they’d have him do at least one other, so that makes sense here.
They’re both going for $89 so a $30 Magnus fee is consistent w/ the tonic. I sure hope they collaborate w/ him on op-z sounds too!!
TE + Magnus = $
oh, got it. Makes much more sense.
so these’ll presumably have the microphone xfer deal, too—figures, that was too novel a feature for them to only use once.
^You were right about the speak’n’spell (and an OP-1 effect) ,probably.
Spotted in the wild.
16 blank slots, and a record button… Looks like a sampler to me.
a sampler would be dope !
GAS wants it to be real… cynical internet training is trying to convince me it’s a trolly rendering
That picture seems legit to me and corroborates the composition PO as a sampler. Technically speaking, TE could replace the processor used in the POs with a version that has 1MB of memory (the highest avalable for the EFM32 family), lower the codec rate (from 48K) to 32K samples/sec and get 16 slots of up to 1 second sample each. But transfering 1MB of data over the air with the speaker/mic could take a few minutes, so it does not seem very practical. I guess we will need to wait and see.
interesting @punji
Yes, delta compression plus 12-bit samples would certainly increase the total sample time, maybe 3x.
Has anyone confirmed that PO-32 is the same exact hardware as PO-1x/2x? They made a board change for the break off tab. Maybe they also did a part compatible upgrade on the processor. But I don’t recall anyone taking a Tonic apart yet.
