PO-PatchStudio is a sound-design and pattern editor for owners of Teenage Engineering's PO-32 Tonic Pocket Operator. Users can adjust 16 drum sounds with synth parameters, program 16-step patterns, and preview them before sending a kit, sound, or pattern to the hardware over audio. The app can also record and decode a PO-32 data dump, import Microtonic patches, and keep a local library of kits and patterns. The developer says the app is free, has no ads or account requirement, and is not affiliated with Teenage Engineering. It targets users who already own compatible hardware rather than serving as a general music-making app.
