Love the PO. Ever since i got one its became my go to whenever I want to make a quick track. Needless to say I already released 4 albums done with the PO33 🤣
@@explicitmassproductions9821 listening to this on bandcamp rn and it’s so good, crazy you did all of it on the po33. definitely motivating me more to actually learn how to use it
@@dakotamaack3438 thank you. Glad you enjoy the album. Alot can be done with the po33 just have to think a little outside of the box when creating tracks on it. Its become my go to sampler. It gets easier the more you use it and learn the device.
Why everyone says that melodic channels are chromatic? Actually they have two octaves of diatonic scale with a harmonic note to play live. No live-playable chromatics there. To make a fully chromatic scale you can put 12 samples of 12 notes into a one drum channel. To spend less storage time but make these notes longer -- pitch 'em octave up before loading, and then pitch 'em back on the PO33.
I have sold PO33 for KOALA sampler on my phone that is advenced yet simple sampler. The thing is that I have not use this as often as a POKO. There is something fun n addictive in POKO that want me to play, sample, chop and loop those sounds. Bought POKO again :)
I've had the PO-33 for about 4 hours now and can already tell it's going to save a ton of room on my SP-404sx. Workshop phrases on the PO during a train ride, record them to the 404, and I've just saved using a whole bank for an octave.
@@Two-Eyed_Boy it blows my mind everytime I pick it up. That something, like this can be soooo small but so effective. When I'm 80 years old, I'll probably be talking about po's and have them in my collection. What a crazy little unique thing. Brings out a certain creativity that's hard to get in other places. It feels like a club because not too many people mess with them or jus has gotten over them. But I can't. Lookin to buy the speak next.
Crazy! Didn't know the trick where you hold the button and adjusting the length and the pitch of the sample. This tiny thing keeps on inspire me again and again! TY for sharing
maybe you can answer this for me perfect circuit: how do you feel about the case for the PO? i love how slick it makes the PO look but from your experience does it feel good when you play?
Dude this was a really entertaining video besides being really useful. Yeah, I'm definitely jumping on the po-133 train. That bonus industrial noise part... I'm all in! Yoga Fire 🔥🔥🔥
I‘ve read the manual many times when this was new. Is that sound length and changing sound stuff that was there from the start? Don‘t remember these abilities. Edit: rechecked. Oh man was that small manual page full of stuff I didn‘t even understand the basics of at the time (like parameter locks). Thanks for rekindling my interest!
@@soffter Daaaaamn if you try to change pitch but you‘re in drum samples it changes the sample …. *mind blown* … ok ok after rewatching the video the 3rd time, you mentioned that … ;P
I've had a PO33 for like 3 years now and I've never manually edited the pitch in the step sequencer with the knobs, I've always just live performed it. No idea you could do that....
on the melodic tracks yes, but if you record to the drum / rhythmic tracks it does perform a rudimentary sort of transient snapping - i believe it looks for zero crossing points after gain spikes to set an endpoint and a sort of onset detector for the start. recording a sample to the melodic / rhythmic tracks will yield different results, and recording to the melodic and then copying to rhythmic will yield a linearly sliced kit! - very useful! but dont take my word for it, give it a whirl!
@@PerfectCircuit I must disagree. This transient thing is just a myth and it is easily debunked. Just hit REC and sample yourself saying "1-2-3-4" in clear staccato, on any drum/rythm bank: if there was any transient analysis you should get each number loud and clear on pads 1 to 4 and silence on all other pads. Instead of 'rudimentary sort of' detecting transients the PO33 just slices the audio in 16 identical parts that are then laid down to the 16 pads, so basically you have your audio for 'one' sliced across pads 1 to 4, and so on... This is not to diss the PO33 (that I really like a lot BTW!) it is only to correct a wrong perception and avoid people having these kinds of expectations. Even the OP1 doesn't have transient recognition and does exactly the same basic slice job as the PO33, and AFAIK all samplers that do have transient slicing actually don't make a very good job at it anyhow (think MPC1000/JJ, MPC4000, Polyend Tracker...), so why would anyone expect to have this feature in such a cheap and simple device as the PO33?
how in the world did you manage to get the po33 as loud as the bastl drum?!!? without any mixer or attenuator cable?! hell, i just tried tonight a little session and the bastl just blew the po33 against the wall, it was just soooo powerful and much louder. i have to try to max out the volumes of the samples, but boy....hard...very hard... the po12 is, beneath the sub, imho the loudest pocket operator and is a good compagnion for the bastls, ....but with the po33, i have my problems :/
OK, after watching this and 2 other videos, I still don‘t get one thing done: How do I get parameter locks of anything but length and pitch into a certain step in the sequencer? I go there, hit FX until I see filter, have the sequencer position pressed and move the knob but either it changes nothing or switches back to pitch/length. Is filter edit only possible BEFORE hitting the step in the sequence to put it there?
You press the button you want to play. Change the parameters (like filter etc), then press the button again. Now enter step editing and press one of the steps. This step now carries all the info (pitch, filter, etc.)
When I sample on my po133 using the line input the sample is always quite how do I get to sound louder without the sample getting distorted and still being quite
Hi Noob question for you. When using the record button it gives a countdown as to how many seconds of sampling time are left. So how would I wipe the recordings, so that it goes back to 40 available seconds ?
@@ElectronicChateau do you think its worthwhile to track it all out? I been bouncing sequences and deletings tracks so I can have versions of the sequence ive made with a "solo'd" track....its time consuming and kinda deterring after awhile.
"I'll have my degree in no time!" Brilliant! :D
When I had it around my neck on a strap and recorded everyone and everything for weeks my wife called it my „disability card“.
Haha

PO-33 rules, nice demo and walkthrough too dude! You're killing.

Thought this would be a nice relaxing video to fall asleep too, was just nodding off until the schtick, omg I will never sleep again!
I agree completely! I have the first series of the PO-33 K.O! and it always turns out to be a great creative friend both in the studio and live 🤘
The PO-33 is the most incredible piece of gear I own!!!
I find this to be the most useful demo I’ve seen so far and I’ve seen some. Great tips thanks.
I feel your affection for handheld electronics Wes 💯
I've got probably $8,050 worth of enjoyment from my PO-33 to date.
This is the comment that made me do a little digging. Went and bought it.. And now i can't keeps my hands off of it. Thanks

Yoooooo! That jam at the end was amazing!!! What is that noise making device? is the perfect combo for the pocket operator :D
Got the po-33 for Christmas, but lots of these tips were new to me. Thanks a lot for a useful and fun video 👍🏻❤️. Now I need to watch it again
very much like this character. It would be fun to see your octatrack journey!
Nice work. Thanks!
I felt that "Siiick...tight!"
Love using this with the Kastle Drum! Also that maroon case is so lovely.
agreed dude I just did a vid on retriggering on the po-33 it is so good

Amazing video, the tips were great. Where’s the case from!?
That 18:57 to 19:03 was ORGASMIC, i now want.... No i shall buy one of these solely off this awesome video 😍👍
Well done bruh
The Sync modes were a part I was having some trouble with.
i load sounds from arturia's analog lab into mine.

I plan to bring my K.O. to my upcoming DMV appointment. While i sit there, i might as well make the most of it, right?
best use of dmv downtime !
So, if the KO is a sampler, which is better, the KO or the Voice and why? *Is* there a better between the two?

When I record into my p.o. the sample sounds distorted and just plain bad. Am I doing something wrong?

When you have an sp-404 but you want to sample in po-33... ummh
Just for info: RUclips has stated that if you use more than 15 hashtags on your video, it'll ignore all hashtags.
what they dont tell you is that if you use over 150 they triple the effect

hold [record] and press [sound] to delete the currently selected sound. - you'll have to do this for each of the 16 sample slots, be careful !!

How do yall record your PO's into DAW's? Curious
I use a cable from my po to audio interface, think it's called a stereo to dual mono Y splitter cable. About £10 0n Amazon. Absolute godsend mate.
