I really love all of the pocket operators but TE really knocked it out of the park with the PO-33 K.O! It really is totally competent at making complete tracks on its own. I made an entire album with just that device. Took me only a week because I was so inspired by it.
Where can i find this album. Would really love to listen to it. :-)
Thousands of dollars to sample sounds onto a $90 sampler to make a song. I love it! Subbed!
Man this was such a godsend in figuring out the majority of my PO 33. What a beast instrument, thanks for making this video!
hardest music gear flex ever
Because of your first review, I got myself a PO-33 K.O. Great device, already had some fun few hours playing it. You don't really need anything else than the PO-33 + any device that can output sound and go on the internet to make great beats.
Yea! Even taking stuff from the radio or TV is suuuper fun too
upload some of your stuff
Yeah, might be a cool idea. Might do something like that soon. Busy with a lot of projects at the same time so might take a while. But a cool idea.
Can you export it as an mp3?
@@DJPashn no, you can't export as MP3, you save your track by plugging the KO output jack into something that can record audio, e.g. a computer with a sound card. Once it's recorded on your computer, you can then export it from there into whatever export format your software supports.
Just got my po 33 a week ago and I’ve been binging videos on it. I can’t seem to get my progressions right but I’ve been playing it on transit ,on my work breaks .., basically keep it in my pocket at all times haha
"I'm down with some of the sloppy" is both the best and worst sentence Ive heard today. 😂
Nice! Btw bro, your video production is stellar! Great lighting and composition in your scenes, great job
Oh man, I really appreciate that! Glad it's coming across ;)
If your low on cash and still want new hardware the pocket operators are fun. I love the sound of the Juno. Nice synths bro and love the advice and tricks. Love this chill groove when the pads come in over the bass.
thanks for watching Remi! yea i couldn't agree more.
Even if you're good on cash, these strike up inspiration pretty easily and are a fun addition to almost any setup.
These videos are quality really informative the only ones I've seen that go into real detail of how to put a track together you know when you've made a good groove when it keeps going through your head :)
Shedding light Dow on my noob self. Thanks again for an absolutely amazing tutorial. You do a great job explaining things so that I can understand and learn. I have learned so much about monophonic and how the workflow is best utilized from your videos. Keep doing you because it's awesome.
Awesome work, really great to see such an in-depth tutorial on the PO-33!
A master class, very generous with your time and skills. Thank you.
I really appreciate your videos, Enrique. You always do a good job of explaining quirky technical details, and I always learn something useful when I watch one of your videos.
respect to you for the MPCs.... keepin it real
Nice overview of the po-33, thanks! These are simple devices but it helps to have an overview of their features like your video provides. Big up!
Your tutorials for the po-33 are a great resource. Thank you!
chaining patterns.. yhessss. thank you kind sir for spreading that tidbit of knowledge. respect.
Killing it man, one of the best channels on RUclips rn.
That trim looks brilliant :) Thanks for video!
Thanks Sleepydog! Glad you enjoyed it.
Dude, you make the best freakin videos. I've been researching the PO series a lot recently and always land on your videos. I've learned so much from watching you and I can't wait to get one!
wooo! Glad i could help Elliot, thanks for watching.
Im gonna get this sounds on my po-33! Thnx for the tutorial! This thing pretty cool.
Thanks for this man! Just got my PO-33, this video is helping a lot.
I reassure what @The Narrator said, you improved your video production so much since the beginning when you started to do the tutorials for the circuit!, great job my man..keep it up!
Alex Parada thanks man! I look back at those and laugh they were shot so bad but we all start somewhere! I appreciate your support
I like your videos I subscribed to you awhile back.I feel like you really try your best making these videos.It's very informative stuff.You are a good guy for making these videos.I give you props.You are one of my favorite RUclips channels.All of your stuff is pretty good.I haven't ever seen you make a lousy video.It seems like you care about doing what you do and do a good job at doing it.It's always worth watching whatever you want to show us.Thank you for being you.Maybe the world needs more people like you.
No no, the world needs more people like you sir! that was an incredible comment. thanks so much.
Great vid! You can use sounds at the same time even when they are on the same slot!
With all due respect you're not 'using nothing but the PO-33', but to be fair, this is one of the best PO-33 videos on youtube Mr Enrique Martinez, so thank you for sharing. I've just bought one and am about to take the plunge being only a part time dabbler in music production. I shall be watching this video on repeat to learn all the greatness you have to offer - thanks again!
very true haha, but the beauty in the PO-33 is that you can use ANYTHING with it!
Nice studio. Wires everywhere that only you know where they all go, small, compact, cluttered but full of some gorgeous kit 👍
You know how i roll haha. you explained my studio perfectly.
This is great, looking forward to when you have 400k subs cuz it'll happen
oh such kind words! Thanks Kitty40 i really appreciate that.
Awesome video man. I'm brand new to electronic music and got a PO33 a couple of weeks ago. The tip about sequencing the 4 bars will come in handy, as will the filter automation. Cheers.
Jurgen! welcome to the slippery slope of always being broke and buying gear, haha. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow! Great tutorials. I've got a PO-33 and PO-20 on the way and your vids are giving me a great jump start.
Hey man, I got them on Sweetwater. I think I like the 33 better cause I can sample into it. I have yet to link them up, but i bet that would be cool. The 20 is nice but only for chiptune sounding stuff.
I have the PO-35 and for me recording anything feels like I need a thrid hand. Great video, also chaining all the patterns together 1-16 is and pressing play is a good way to erase all patterns.
Whoa that’s a great tip! Yea I feel you on that third hand thing haha. Sometimes I just didn’t know how to hold it
This was actually so helpful thank you
Ein fettes Daumen hoch aus Germany. I love this guy, thumbs up.
That was awesome. I learned so much by sampling your sounds from the video itself and creating the same rhythm along with you. I had watched the video a couple of times already, but it all clicked together once I did it hands on. Amazing. Thank you.
That's awesome! Did it come out similar???
Enrique Martinez Music Absolutely. I changed it up slightly to make it my own while experimenting , but otherwise the same. You can hear a bit of the background noise, like the sound of the keys being hit, but it’s minimal in the final track. It’s great that you didn’t talk over the sounds themselves when you sampled them. This was a great walkthrough for a novice and I hope you do more of them. It’s all so daunting at first, but ultimately simple once you know what to do. It would be a cool series, “15 minute beat.” Sample a few things, walk through creating the beat, then jam a bit.
Thank you for the tutorials
You have changed my life. I understand sequencing now. Will share with my singer. Knowledge is power. Peace.
glad to see my old juno and mpc still going strong!!
haha! duuuuddee! I still got'em! 106 is gone actually but the 60... that's for life lol
Great stuff. The PO-33 is a seriously cool little machine.
Thanks Anders, i really can't get enough of it haha. I also slightly hate/love the fact that i keep it in my pocket at all times..
That's a sick lil' beat!
wow amazing tutorial I had no idea you could record over multiple patterns in one live recording! Looks like imma be up for another 3 hours.... GREAT TUTORIAL! .SUBSCRIBED!
neeeeeeed
Yes... yes you do Taetro.. now
Ridiculously helpful thanks!
I just bought the KO, can't wait for it to come. I think any musician could use this when they lack motivation.
Super helpful!! Currently having a long ass week waiting for my KO to get here!
love the KO! ure setup is super dope bro
Thanks man! glad you dig it.
I like the p.o especially when i record my track into the multitrack and add other Instruments to it and eq and compression always helps i usually record the p.o on two tracks and pan one left and one right to try get a bit of stereo back into it im upgrading to the novation circuit rhythm next week but will still use the ko ..i seem to use the ko alot to add little bits and bobs to other tracks iv made like 303 patterns and voice samples ect its a great little tool its nice through the nts1 too
Great video saludos from Mexico
Gracias Rolling paper! De que parte eres?
Thank you for the chord sample. I find it very difficult to start working with the KO, but you helped a lot.
Yea man! glad i helped, it's a good way to fill the sonic spectrum in a song quickly and easily.
0:43 got me lmaooo
Better have not got you judging me! Hahaha
Enrique Martinez Music we all know you bought them just own it
sameeeeeeee
Nice one!
you are a life saver
Nice videos. I am really, really wanty over this thing. Subscribed!
Thanks s. s.!!! Man, i've never wanted something so bad haha. It's a ton of fun. I hope you get one.
Thank you Ricky for the videos, always informative. One quick note though, as per my experience there is no 'transient' detect feature in the PO33 (like there is no such feature in the OP1). To me that is the main drawback of both units, where slicing is the worst implemented function. Other than that the PO33 is really a nifty little unit, easy to carry along, fun to use, with an atrocious/lovable low quality sound (and I don't mean the integrated speaker!). I appreciate that you pointed out the mono feature of each 'sound' whereas you can't layer to slices in the sequencer (like a tracker). In fact, if you think about it, the PO33 is the packaging of a single sample instrument of the PO1 with a Pattern sequencer of 16 steps. The advantage of the PO33 over the OP1 is that you can have have one pattern per instrument and play 16 patterns simultaneously (if you have 16 instruments). That's a feature I wish we had in the OP1, actually I was in shock when I discovered that you could not 'link' a pattern set to an instrument on the OP1, or play 2 patterns simultaneously on two separate patches.
Everyone always demos the editing features
I'd love to see someone demo real time play/ performance. Live sampling and performing . If this can not be done I may stick with sample looper , instead of trying a sample sequencer.
Liked , and subbed 😊
Thanks!
bought one, couldnt resist
Loved this tutorial. Would be great if you could a tutorial with an available sample pack so that we can load your samples onto our PO33. I was able to press record at the relevant points anyway and managed to get something similar.
Mine arrives tomorrow. Seems to me that I’ll need fewer hands if I sit down and do the sampling from iPad rather than hardware. Meanwhile, all these videos are gold- thanks!
you convinced me to buy this
Great video! Make some more :D
Chaining the patterns and recording on all of them is a GAME CHANGER!! How have I never thought of that?! Thank you!
I agree - Can't believe I didn't think of this. I assume this applies to all POs?
Don‘t judge me. I got them for free.... do NOT judge me! 😄
Again, nice video!
How is the overall quality of the k.o. In your opinion?!
I mean how useable is the product if recorded in a DAW..?!
Thanks
I’m glad you got them beats for free because that’s the original price of it.
Thanks for your great video. It's a lot deeper than I thought... :-)
it constantly surprises me haha.
Another awesome video on the K.O! Subscribed. One question though, can you pan individual samples?
What’s up penguin, I don’t think you can. You have trims, filters, pitch, and volumes
Dope!
God damn you and your free beats. Made me spend $130 (:
I appreciate how you spend the time showing us how to use the thing
Tied patterns. Yes! Thx
They’re the life savers of the PO limits haha
So sweet...also you can double tap a pattern to make it play twice...this is like a full on song mode👌
7:52 start to how to group and chain. ( note to self )
Ricky the machine maestro 😀Cheers✌️🏼
🐂💨💨💨💨💨
nice setup
Thanks!
hay, man! Cool beat, but, what the next? how to track out it for record studio?
got me sold on this thing. could you see this working well in tandem with a DAW like FL12? playing samples on the computer to record them into the PO-33?
Totally, especailly because things would have such tight timing using a daw, it'll make it easier to slice later.
What genre is that final loop considered? I like this type of stuff a lot but never really know what to look for. Thanks.
thanks for knowledge
What laptop specs does your mac have and do you use it for video production too?
Nice little groove. Never enough Beats disclaimers lol.
Hey nice thanks for this Video but i have some questions?
you got a gate mode for the Samples or just a 1Shot trigger?
Can you export the patterns seperate? (Drumpattern and Basspattern)
MHz hey man! Good questions. You only have one shot mode and you can adjust the start and end point. It exports all data at once nothing can be separated :(
okay damn..But thanks for the information Enrique.
And is it possible to save the songs after chaining the patterns? In the device or PC?
Bought one of these beauties today. I think T.E. owe you some commission🙃
Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me how you learned to make music. I'm a total beginner but I want to make electronic music.
Have a good day.
Hey dude! I feel like I'm always blowing up your old videos with questions so I apologize for that, but any chance I could get those drum samples? Or can you point me to where I can get them? I'm having trouble finding house samples
These “house” samples are “hip-hop” samples haha. I can’t remember where I got these :/ but you can probably find some just looking up more things than just house :)
Is it possible to record hi-hats first, then copy the sound and then layer with snares/claps (so you have two sounds playing at once)
Hi! Great video. It shows that with some creativity and interest you can make a song using 70 dollar pocket sized equipment. I was wondering if there was an app like this sampler/sequencer preferably for android, to try out if creating music is for me. Thanks!
Dimitris Lazarakis try Koala sampler.
I just recently bought a PO 33, so this might of been a new patch. I've been watching all the tutorial YT vids on recording samples into your PO. One thing I noticed is that they all instruct you to hold rec and the pad you'd like to sample to continuously until your done. I discovered that you really only have to hold rec, then press the pad you want to sample to only once while holding the rec button. The PO will start to rec once it senses a trigger. This will free up your other hand. I'm assuming this will work with all POs that can record a sample input. I apologize if this is something the community has already learned. :)
Whoa mind completely blown!!! Thank you Eric, you really live up to your YT name
@@RickyTinez ikr! I think I found another new PO 33 Easter egg. I posted this to the pocketoperates Reddit page and so far no one knew about it.
I need to hunt this egg down
@@ErictheGreat707 that would be a game changer, i'm shite at inputting melodies live with one finger
@@baqcasanke ikr!! 🥰
Nice vid as usual.
Do you ever get issues w/ humming while you record from line in?
Honestly, sometimes.. but it never really bothered me because I have hum with a few machines and I guess I’ve just gotten used to it haha.
cool, thx for replying. I though I was alone on this. lol
do you have any humming from mic recording ?
Watching your po-33 vids, noticed that the kick recorded here is much cleaner (deeper, less noise) than the one you recorded from your 3000. I wonder why that is?
Is it possible to save more than the 2x8 sounds?
how do you bounce your stems into a daw on time?
Man thanks for teaching noobs like me. Amazing
is the feature to record across multiple patterns in a single recording unique to the KO, or can they all do that? I have the arcade and Im not sure that I know how to enable that feature.
im pretty sure its availible in most POs. Some of the older ones lack certain features though
Enrique Martinez Music I actually figured it out after rewatching that section in your video. Had no idea that was possible and makes recording longer sections so much more convenient :)
Love this, though my wallet is crying again.. I think I might have a PO addiction XD The gateway drug to samplers perhaps?
Oh man, i got the Rhythm and it was my Gateway to PO's then this one came out.. and for sure a gateway to samplers... Be careful!
Yeah.. I got the arcade.. then I got the Tonic a week after XD And actually because of the Tonic, I sold my Drumbrute D: Mostly because the snare on the drumbrute was dreadful, and the Tonic was just really what I needed when it comes to drum machines!
I am afraid that getting a KO, will lead me to get a Digitakt, then probably an octotrack, and then an OP-1.. then Eurorack...omg I am doomed D:
I knew I should just have stuck to playing classical piano XD
Nice work...I wish it goes down to 40bpm tho to make two bar hiphop beats
With pattern chaining it’s super easy to get 2 bars!
great video. but turn some lights on. youtube's compression algortithim ends up darkening your video after uploads. so try boosting that brightness before you record.
Thanks man! this was my young padawan days, not realizing all that stuff. but now im onto my teenage padawan days so brightness has been increased!
Nice video dude !
Anyone knows how to remove last effects added while holding write (tune and filters)
I tried with FX+16 but its only remove FX saved and I m screwed with this
Thanks Korokh, to remove FX hold FX and button 16. To remove the tune and filters; Hold down Write and move the filter a little bit then keep holding write while NOT touching the knob again until it runs through the whole sequence and it'll save it as just a single value. Then repeat the same for tune. Happened to me before haha
Ok fine, I will try it this weekend.
thanks for your feedback ;)
Peace !
I am thinking of buying a po-33 k.o. Can you change the pitch if you connect a po-33 k.o to a sp-404sx? How many seconds?
Yes and 40 sec
enrique having owned the po 33 for a long time now (yourself) would you say your sound quality inside the device has degraded in any way? I heard these get more noisey over time. I know they're noisey inititally, but relatively.
Mmm maybe I'm just paying attention to it more now. Also changing the batteries helped me get a "better" sound again. But nothing that has been massively noticable
have you problems with the ko, cause you are using it without a case?
greatings from germany! :)
None at all, i have a case on it now and i almost want to say its ahrder to use now WITH the case lol
As I type this message to you I'm trying to make a beat from Scratch myself. I did a factory reset thinking it will help with my problem. When Recording, I don't hear a metronome (Click). So my question is how do you turn it on or how do you turn the vol. up if it's on and I just can't hear it. Any help will be great. Thanks for your help and this video!
Newrorican! There actually isn't a metronome on the PO-33. I just use a Hi-hat sound on steps 1,5 ,9 ,& 13. That way it sounds like a click. Also the volume is adjusted when you hold down the BPM button and select levels 1-16 using the numbered buttons below.
Thanks for the reply. I'm happy to tell you that there is a metronome on the PO-33. I figured it out! The Magic Sequence is [Press: Record / Write / BPM] . This will turn On & Off the metronome click. I know right mind blowing!! Again thanks for your reply..... glad I could help... ;)
