  • In this short video I outline some of the reasons why I think the PO-33 KO! is still worth picking up 4 years after its release in 2018.
    I am currently recovering from having Coronavirus so this is as long as I could film for today. Hopefully I will be back to full strength again soon!

    Just picked one up a couple of weeks ago. As someone that's always been interested in sampling and electronic music but felt pretty intimidated about where to start the PO-33 has been such a great in for me! Your videos have also been a massive help making sense of it and made me so excited about learning more and trying other gear.

    The PO-33 just shows that there is a market for small lo-fi sampler/groove boxes. If it had better build quality and audio in/out/monitor (and midi in) it will be perfect.

      Ppl have said its kinda like an SP202 but with a different workflow, idk since I dont own an SP202

  • @weddiedon
    @weddiedon 2 года назад +2

    Yes! Definitely get one. If you read this and dont have a po33 or 133 get one get one get one get TWO then you can re sample and have half your track playing on while the other half of the mix has effects played on top

      Yeah the fx are surprisingly powerful and I love how they stay in sync

  • @randomkindaguy
    @randomkindaguy 2 года назад +2

    In addition to all the good points you mentioned, the PO-33 is also great because it samples in 8bit. In addition to giving everything a great crunchy noise, I find that the low sample rate "glues" all the different sounds together really well, which saves a ton of time on mixing. One of my favorite songs I've ever released was made on the PO-33. A great sampler!

    • @spvidz

  • @rorz999

    I have mixed feelings about PO-33. I really like the sequencer, the overall character of the sound, and some of the FX. But I do find it a bit fiddly to use and I wish there was a scale mode for the melodic samples, like there is on the PO-35. Being limited to chromatic is really quite restrictive. I also think they could have used the screen for something more useful than the animation of the two boxers.
    I wish it, and all other POs, had a proper case as well, I would gladly pay a bit more if they had a proper enclosure. I'm using a 3D printed case which I prefer to any of the other cases I've seen for sale

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  2 года назад +1

      It is what it is for the price. There are definitely more features it could have and yeah I really need to sort out getting a case for mine!

    Nice video! Can you tell me if there’s a difference between the PO-133 and this? Still debating on getting the PO-33 but not sure if the 133 can do the same thing..

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  2 года назад +2

      I'm pretty sure the only difference is the branding and it comes loaded with a bunch of different sounds which are street fighter themed!

      Its also cheaper... but exactly the same! 😀 and for me the screen is clearer to understand. I dont know about you, but when I was learning the knockout I found the characters on screen a bit confusing sometimes 😅

    i rly want to love this little thing but it’s hard when koala sampler makes the same thing so much easier to do. I know the limitations can be what make it fun but i tend to go to koala first. I’ve only had my po33
    since Christmas but haven’t made a beat on it yet

    • @spvidz
      @spvidz  2 года назад +1

      Koala is a cool app but I spend way to much time on my phone already. I would hate for it to be the place I make beats too...also I don't have an iPad! I did think about completely switching to koala at one point but I like little devices like this which you can just completely lose yourself in and not be interrupted by notifications etc!
