It may fit easily in your hand, but the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-28 Robot delivers larger-than-life synth sound built for real-time performance.

Equipped with an impressive Glide control, which approximates classic portamento effects beautifully. There are also cool effects onboard, as well as a 16-step sequencer.
