## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which batteries does it use, how many, and how long can it last?**
A: Using the including batteries and frequently building loops and carrying the my po16 around in a bag (where it would frequently get turned on by being jostled) I got about 5 months. At the end, I thought that seeing it die meant I would lose all of my saved loops. That is not the case. Your patterns stay in memory unless you hold 2 buttons while replacing the batteries for a factory reset. Which is great because, swear to God, I made some str8 bangers. I'm buying a second one and can't decide between the KO! and the Arcade.

**Q: Is there a case for the arcade?  i see them for the others, but not po-20.**
A: I searched for one on the net and on amazon when I purchased this and I did not see one available as yet.  There are 3D printer case designs out there much much much cheaper...

**Q: What chord/cable do I need to plug into my computer to record from the pocket operator?**
A: I believe L and R are identical unless you're moving clock information. In that case L is clock and R is your audio. From what I've read, the POs are dual mono, which makes sense because there is a mono speaker. So, to answer the question, you need to plug a 3.5mm trs in your operator's right side (which is sending two signals and ground) and you can pick up either side (tip/ring or tip/sleeve) and send it into a single channel on your interface. Most interfaces are 1/4"ts, so a 3.5mmTRS stereo to dual 1/4" mono y cable m/m will work. If you're using your computer's onboard soundcard, 3.5mm trs to 3.5mm trs m/m will work. If your interface takes xlr, 3.5mm trs to male xlr.

**Q: What is the advantage of using something like this over just looking up loops like "Drums Only" on a streaming service?**
A: The advantage of using this is that you can quickly create the exact loops you want, instead of searching for something similar on the internet.
