Notes & Conventions | In order to maintain consistency between POs, I refer to the button directly below Knob B as Func and the button directly below Func as Effect.
The Func button actually has different names/functions between POs (described elsewhere in this guide). However, this button is always used for sync modes. | For additional info, including transmitting and receiving data for the PO-32 and PO-35, see the user guides. | Cheat Sheet Conventions | With Write mode enabled: | (SS) = Step Sequence Edit (with playback stopped) | (LR) = Live Record (with playback started) |
After inserting batteries...Set Time | Rotate Knob A for Hours. Rotate Knob B for Minutes. Press any key to confirm/exit. | Set Alarm | Hold Sound, Press Pattern. Rotate Knob A for Hours (all the way left to disable). Rotate Knob B for Minutes. Press 1-16 to set pattern for alarm. | Set Volume | Hold BPM, Press Button 1 (low) - 16 (high). | Stop Alarm | Press any key. | Reset Time | Remove & reinsert batteries. |
Why do these things even have a clock & alarm? Weird. Sync ModesMode | Input | Output | SY0 | Stereo | Stereo | SY1 | Stereo | Mono/Sync | SY2 | Sync | Stereo | SY3 | Sync | Mono/Sync | SY4 | Mono/Sync | Stereo | SY5 | Mono/Sync | Mono/Sync |
To toggle Sync Modes: Hold Func, Press BPM.
