Pocket Workstation

MicroDigitalPolyphonic

At just 68 grams and small enough to slip into any pocket, this pocket workstation packs a 16-part multitimbral synth engine that rivals full-sized grooveboxes, letting you craft intricate tracks on the go without missing a beat.

Its digital synthesis heart offers 17 algorithms like VA, FM, Super Saw, AM, ring mod, and x0x-style percussion across 3 oscillators per voice, paired with a multimode filter (10 types), dual envelopes, multiple LFOs, per-voice FX such as distortion and bitcrushing, plus global multi-FX including reverb, chorus, and delays. The sequencer shines with 16 songs of 16 tracks, each holding 16 patterns of 16 steps, supporting polyrhythmic and generative modes, per-step modifiers, probability, swing, micro-timing, and song mode automation. Sampling delivers 2 minutes at 44.1kHz with slicing, chopping, pitch/time stretch, vocoder, and OP-1/Z compatibility, all managed via tactile buttons, a hall sensor for touchless FX gestures, and the Wooveconnect 2 web editor. Stereo audio I/O, MIDI/sync ports, Bluetooth, and 10+ hours of rechargeable battery life keep it connected and powered anywhere.

Users love its frictionless workflow and punchy sound from such a tiny form factor, though some note the button-only interface demands practice for deep edits. It's become a favorite for spontaneous jamming and live sets, bridging portable fun with pro-level depth.
