Leant my PO-33 to a friend, since I've been messing with my Seaboard Block. I will, most certainly be downloading this while I wait to get it back though. Thank you for continuing to make videos about the PO-33. Us "broke folk" appreciate it very much.
Been using this technique for a while now, appreciate you making a quality instructional video. It takes a certain mentality to put all of that time/effort in to making instructional videos, thank you for the inspiration.
my po33 has always reminded me of my yamaha vss 30 in the sense that you dont always get exactly what you think you should the first time . but in a way its rad cuz when you do get a workable sample its usually pretty dope
For mobile users, I've been using the lil drum machine 808 clone as you can upload your own samples to it. I typically set the tempo at 35-40, set the drums I want on one step forward per pad (kick=step1, snare=step2, etc) set the PO33 to record, press play on the LDM and it's done. It's not always perfect but, it seems nothing is.
Super helpful video 🙏 Just released an „almost“ plug and play drumkit for the PO33. But I had to try really hard till it took longer drumsounds. I think the only way to save perfekt packs is to chop everything on the PO and save it as a backup file.
I sampled some kits of here the other day and it was a total shit show. 10 seconds sampling. A further ten minutes trimming everything. Grabbed the app and will try this. Thanks Ricky! Love you man!
2019 doesn't guarantee you anything huh? Have you heard of 2020? Only guarantee is that it's bad for everyone. Thanks to you I can put some new beats onto my PO-132 so it brightens my day
I think you should make a udemy online course as some other guy did. I believe a lot of us really would like to know your creative process better, and maybe see an entire performance as a last lesson. Would be cool, if you will do it, be sure to use a digitakt in it! ;) keep rockin bro
Unfortunately, the app is 32-bit, and Mac transitioned to 64-bit :/ Going to see if there is some workaround without having to install an older OS. I just got my OP-33 today, and your videos are beneficial. Thank you.
Thanks for your videos! Do you or does anyone reading this have ideas about an alternative to the OP-1 Drum Utility since it seems to be discontinued or at least not compatible with more current OS versions? Thanks!
It definitely isn't perfect - I recorded 4 different kits this way and had transients chopped off or completely wrong on at least 2-5 samples per kit of 16. Took a lot of trimming effort on the PO-33 itself to fix it. To be fair I recorded through a USB to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter cause my laptop jack is broken, but it still seems to work as well as doing it through my mixing board that has USB out to act as a higher-quality interface. I think for sharp and hyper-short samples it's still always important to leave a bit of space after the sample so that A) it slices transients more accurately when recording, and B) it will be easier to trim the sample if it doesn't slice accurately, since you'll have some play room after the transient (which is invaluable bc of how hard it is to trim on the PO-33 with those non-precise little knobs, I wish more than anything they would release some kind of update that would allow slow scroll/super-fine-trim). So I think I will continue to just place the samples back to back in FL Studio and leave a bit of space for the sharper transient samples like short kicks and hi-hats. But will experiment more, it's just so frustrating and time-consuming.
Hi Rick! please help, in the Russian segment there is nothing like what you are doing, and this instruction is no exception. please help translate this into Russian
i'm looking at buying the po-33 to go alongside my op-1 but was concerned about the total 40 second sample space, i suppose this utility really helps shed some seconds off since your whole kit plus a bass sound takes only 1/8 of the whole memory but i wish we didn't have to use a utility at all only other solutions i can think of are playing in samples at double speed, or playing them into the op-1, chopping to get rid of dead space, and sampling it back to the 33
I had a pair of KOs and some other operators first and just got my OP-1, and I will say it’s nice to have a PO on the end of the chain to work out a drum beat sketch to play along with on the OP-1. You will be surprised at how easy it is to cut the samples quick using only the PO-33 once you get used to it’s workflow (the speed up technique does help a lot) if you sample a couple bars then trim it and copy it to the drum set to get the /16 it will trim the fat for you, then you can rinse your one shot sample source and cut in a few more drum sets. Once you fill it up a few times you will have a couple kits, a couple chopped samples, a few one shots and enough space to work a new sample chop in. At some point you may find yourself sacrificing kits but you can just digitally backup your sample arrangement. Using this technique you eventually have a folder of matched kits and breaks stored together and just play them out from your phone/computer/OP into the PO. They are so nasty for the size and you can draw anywhere, the freezer section of the grocery store or in your friend’s smoky ass car with the aux. All this to say you will find good ways to use it. 👍🏻 I’ll still buy at least one more PO-33. The silicone case is a must.
@@smellymala3103 very helpful thinking of getting one at least to save a track on my op-1 to have drums going on the 33 instead, plus being able to separate drum sounds and mix them individually on the 33 would help a lot
i tried dragging some drum samples in but they didnt appear in OP-1. I thought maybe it doesn't take wav format but i can see that you're using some wav files. am i missing something?
To be honest I have more trouble get my own samples on to Circuit in any sort of reliable manner. Long samples won't play and pad placement seems random for drums. Just me?
@@McFly. haha no worries! Also if you're on Android check this mobile version out play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.metske.oputility Haven't tested this one myself yet tho!
Can someone explain why creating an aiff file with the op1 utility works better then any other exported aiff file? Oh and just out of curiosity what is the actual max sample time on the po33?
Unfortunately, this won't run on the latest version of the Mac OS. It says to contact the developer and ask them to update the program. **sigh** (I didn't give Apple my money, someone else did..)
Yes, but it's not the only way. The 33 has a mic you can use to record sounds from anywhere or you can load them by plugging in an aux cable and record sounds directly from a source. Hope that helps!
I don't think Splice has updated the link to the latest version. If you use this link here: xferrecords.com/freeware At the bottom of the page you should see the Drum Utility v1.03. It worked perfectly for me and I'm using the most updated version of OSX Catalina :) Hope this helps!
Someone help me! Why can't the OP1 Drum Utility that I downloaded to be open? I have a MacBook and every time when I tried to open the OP1 Drum Utility, it says "OP-1 Drum Utility” needs to be updated. The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information." HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM! Someone, please help me! Thank you.
@@UncleBoogieRF ahhh its a vst plugin Mhm I had downloaded for later^^ I want only to use the vst no daw included or basic daw included Lmms is really light but ugly I dont know how i manage it perfectly but i believe there is a nice way to do it
Perhaps simply try using your favorite music player that supports playlists and the relevant file formats (QMMP, mocp, anything...), add and arrange your sounds into a playlist (that you can save) and just play it. I haven't actually tried it with the PO-33 yet, but unless there's some hick-ups with playback I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well as this particular tool besides not having any length restrictions. A simple terminal way is to install sox and then run 'play *' in the directory where you have your 16 files, and it would play them all in alphabetic order. You can also concatenate wavs with sox to get a combined wave file like shown in the video with 'sox 1.wav 2.wav 3.wav result.wav' but it requires them to have the same sample rate and channel count.

Yamaha VSS30 is dope! I have VSS200 my most fav samplr/synth
This is exactly how i do it. Works like a charm and i’m able to use my OP-1 and PO33 for the same projects with the same samples. Great tip.
I need to cop an op-1 because theres some sounds that a ko makes easily that I want to modulate and add to with the op. And vice versa
Navraj Gill how about it man. One of these days...

Turn off 3D touch on your trackpad to get regular drag and drop back. Thing was unusable for me until I did that.
Finally. An answer from the gods! Haha thank you

It’s weird if you DONT wish that.
But maybe he did. This is an older vid. And I JUST came around recently.
Your videos are soooo good! I always get and learn something new.

thank you so much! i‘ve been stuggeling for a long time with this!
Thanks for the tips as always, Enrique!
I love this dude.
nice i like usingdrums in melodic because you overlap sounds. but drum sections allows hi hat rolls
Oh smart, haven't tried that yet
Ricky Tinez yea you can get those trap rolls easy using beat multiplier on your hats in drum section

Just a heads up - this doesn't work with Big Sur (yet?) 😔
Nice case, thanks for adding a link to it! Does it render the onboard mic useless though? it looks like it completely covers it
The mic picks up just fine with it.

where did u get those tiny red cables from?
Max sample time is 24 seconds? Couldnt you just append them all into an Audacity instance too?

You can use also line in integrated in all macbook pro?
Does not work with my version of MacOS :(
I can’t figure out how to get audio from my KO to my speakers. I’m using Komplete Audio 6 interface with the speakers connected to that
probably a dumb question, but what are you using to connect the po-33 to your computer with?
a regular headphone cable. aka “aux” or 3.5mm. all data transfer on the 33 is done with audio, so just requires the most common audio cable.
Fuck yea thank you
i make all my tracks with the po33 then the sp404 for the fx
I can't seem to transfer the audio to the PO. If anybody can explain the (no doubt very simple) procedure I'd really appreciate it.
Can someone explain why creating an aiff file with the op1 utility works better then any other exported aiff file? Oh and just out of curiosity what is the actual max sample time on the po33?
Probably have to compare two otherwise identical files in a hex editor made with each program to see what they're doing differently.
Pretty sure I’ve heard 140 seconds after you erase the factory sounds
