@@truecuckoo absolutely... That's my intension to. My community knows me as a guy who gives sh**** on my mistakes ;)) and they love me for this.. hahahaha ..
Mistakes are only mistakes if you allow them to be. If you learn work with them and don't let them eat you up it's just part of the nature of live performance.
The KO2 is so good for jamming, people get down on it for not being a full workstation. Its an amazing jam machine it makes making songs and ideas easy, and its so fun to play with. Also it gets you back to live playing not boring backing track roboticism. Love it!
You are spot on ! I have a Digitakt 2 & SP404 MK2 which are both great and much more powerful , but neither are as fun as the KO2 to just grab, kick back on the sofa and chill and make some noise with ! 🙂
I'm getting some big RDJ vibes, seriously the best thing I've heard come out the KO2 so far, and you made it look absolutely effortless - inspirational stuff Cuckoo!
I’ve been on the fence of getting one but after this video I’m convinced. I plan to challenge myself to make a different genre rather than what I usually make. My first piece of hardware so I’m thinking the challenge of learning it and doing a different genre all in one would be a cool learning experience. This is fire Cuckoo.
Love how this momentarily dives into the realm of Apex Twin 90’s explorations. But still with a an unmistakable Cuckoo sound. Love it! You cheer up my life with your creations and enthusiasm. ❤
WICKED! SUCH GREAT LIVE PERFORMANCE!! Would you say the KO-II is easier to get started on understanding the digi-world of making music on hardware's rather than the op-1? (I maninly play acustic instruments - Guitar, percussion, saxophone, didj etc.)
Thanks!! The OP-1 has a digital tape recorder. So coming from acoustic instruments you will feel more used to the concept of recording the exact audio that you play. The KO-II has a step sequencer, and you can’t record audio in the same way. So you will have to wrap your head around the sequencing concept. It’s not the easiest step sequencer to get into, since you won’t see the sequence visualised, but it is not very difficult. It’s unusually rich in the way it allows for unquantised and very long polyphonic sequences/ patterns, which can be very limited in other sequencers.
This is by far the best jam I have seen on this device. It's a shame that you cant buy all the gear thats in videos today ... Behringer stuff not available in Germany ... K.O 2 sold out... Yeah great times to get the old gear out of the box.... .... Ohh #January2024 is going to be really cool this time.
Love your passion,performance and creativity Cuckoo!,,,the samples throughout your tracks were sublime!,,,top drawer stuff indeed!,,thanks you so much for sharing.🙏
holy crap, I've seen things about limitations preventing live, like Ricky Tinez video, you seem to have found ways around these limitations. Absolutely stonking. You have such a quirkiness to your tunes, I reckon you'd like an Australian artist called Spoonbill if you haven't come across him before, really happy, comedic qualities you both share.
wicked set ! i catched the medieval edition. 1st week confused about the shortcuts and behavior but now its fantastic ! yea, it is time-consuming to bring dynamic into "just" samples but this device has enough fine tune features. so much fun playing outside with it : D
Ima be honest, and say, I am not a fan of any of this type of music. But your energy, and the way you learn the ins and outs of whatever it is you work on, is so incredibly impressive that I loved every single track. Every time you see a master at work at what they’re good at, you can’t help but be sucked in and intrigued. Many props to you Cukoo. P.S. your video on the KO 2 demo automatically popped up like 2 hours after you posted it and I just had to order one that same day.
Very very nice performance as always man! I sadly had to return mine as it arrived broken, and I ended up asking for a refund because I don't trust the build quality, I hope they fix it soon as the little time I had with it was great
Oh no that's such a shame! It obviously must have come as a shock for TE with so many broken units on day one. Nobody wants that. Hopefully they'll be where it should be soon enough. It's such a great little instrument.
Love your style and passion, @truecuckoo. I'm an absolute beginner with sampling. Do you have any recommended resources for people getting started? I have ideas but don't know where to start. I understand that I'm going to have to start simple and build and also realistic that it will take work to get to something like you've shown here.
Thank you so much Bettina!! The T-shirts are oversized by design. So if you want a tighter fit downsize one size. If you enjoy the oversized flowing cut, pick your normal size.
That bit around 9:00 is insane! Well done. Around 11:48 - this is good enough to make me seriously consider buying K.O. ;-) I am looking forward to see what else can you make with this little device... This will probably be a huge eye opener to many of those who despise this device.
Thanks mate 🙏🏼 I think it's a great instrument at a great price. In my opinion I think that if planned and pushed you can create a whole set with this alone.
You got those glitch efx down to a science! I'm trying with the octatrack as efx for that reason, but I'm convinced I use it too much. You give me hope! 😁
Thanks! It’s kind of a balance between doing too much, and doing it with poor timing. In the middle somewhere is using it with good timing, good intentions, like organic accents to change moods, increase intensity etc. But you have to do it too much first to get good at it. It needs to be in your muscle memory and come quickly to you. So don’t worry! Keep practicing and exploring 👍🏼 You got this.
Thanks mate! I have actually recorded and mixed the original set from the Digitone. It's currently in the hands of a mastering engineer. Releasing early next year. These songs will be on the album!
Could somebody please up the key combo list in the quickstart guide that ships with the unit to a pdf or google document? I want to hit the ground running as and when my preorder eventually arrives and, last time I checked, this info wasn't on the TE website. Thanks in advance.
I love how you just use it instead of complaining. Thank you for this awesome content.
probably cause he is able to use it. Otherwise, he'd be complaining. Like me... help me export to ableton
Bro, you are making me nostalgic for a game that never existed. I imagine it as Yakuza beat em up game.
Ha ha, that's the perfect vibe! Thanks mate 🙏🏼
Love this set and great to see the possibilities with performing with the KOII from someone who knows what they're doing :D
Thanks so much, mate!
Bitcore is my fave but they're all great. Finally someone showing really creativity with the KO
Thank you so much Wendelyn! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Pay attention on his "mistake" handling... THIS is the best you can learn here. Make mistakes, mistakes make your performance natural!!
Haha, thanks mate. When editing the video I felt like just leaving it as it was. Vibe is still there so let's keep it ❤️🙏🏼
@@truecuckoo absolutely... That's my intension to. My community knows me as a guy who gives sh**** on my mistakes ;)) and they love me for this.. hahahaha ..
Exactly the reason I throughly enjoy your content @Volcaniced
Mistakes aren't mistakes they're learning opportunities. Like life, I learn more from my challenges than when everything is easy and good

I was gonna skip ahead... but then came so many cool new interesting sounds!
I'm getting some big RDJ vibes, seriously the best thing I've heard come out the KO2 so far, and you made it look absolutely effortless - inspirational stuff Cuckoo!
Merci !
on of the best machines i ever had. Great logic, easy programming - for me absolut great to produce fast ideas.
Mans is in the mix like BUTTA. Always nice to see someone loving their tunes and what they do!

So fun to dance on this! Did some Cuckoo moves myself :} Great tunes!
Thanks! Keep moving ❤️
Thanks man
Oh thank you so much D! 🙏🏼
there's a True Cuckoo vibe that cannot be copied. Whatever gear you use, this singular mood always rise.
I really love how you personalize your Devices. The K.O.II looks amazing. Not to mention your music, which is always really nice to listen to :)
Thanks Jo! I appreciate you ❤️
I loved this! Thanks for the performance! Peace and Love
It’s so fun to see you enjoying your music. Love it!
Thank you for an amazing performance, Professor! Really put a happy vibe into my week, which i sorely needed. Your energy is grand.
Thank you so much Zero! I appreciate that. Energy and vibes are important!
worded perfectly
This sampleset reminds me of old Atari arcade games of the 90s...especially the bass line awesome stuff!
this could easily be a cool soundtrack from an indie game. Keep up the good vibes!
Love the first track, FM vibes, I feel like I'm playing a new bonus level from Kid Chameleon.
❤️❤️❤️👾
Wow, that was an amazing set. So good.
your style is so unique and refreshing
Now, for the tutorial on how you put all this together. Very cool!
True Cuckoo you are one hell of a player and dancer.
Bloody clever with it!!!
Just excellent.
I am getting one!!?
This is some of your best music that I've heard. Very rockin'! Thank you.
Oh heey thank you so much!! 🙏🏼
I got mine yesterday and this has fully inspired me to dive in and get creating 👀 great stuff!

@@truecuckoo Hope before #jamuary2024... ;) This is the 5th full #Jamuary I am going into. Thank you mate for this great opportunity.
I really like and appreciate what a good time he's having.
Another great performance from you dude!
Love your passion,performance and creativity Cuckoo!,,,the samples throughout your tracks were sublime!,,,top drawer stuff indeed!,,thanks you so much for sharing.🙏
Thank you so much Th3rdie 🙏🏼
You could make great music come out of any gear. Amazing!
This is on another ****** level Cuckoo 😱 !!!! Absolute mastery…. 👏Amazing jam !!!
So cool! 3 minutes in and I'm already all for it!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was absolutely class man! Such a groovy set 😎
Thank you so much Marcus! Good to see you here, man!

This was great to drive to! Really fun set and loved the D&B choices! Bought a shirt!
Thank you Kuro! I appreciate that, mate 🙏🏼
@truecuckoo I've gotten many compliments during my frequent grocery store visits! Good design taste for real 👌🏽
I wish you could make a video how you create one of the tracks from the beginning till the end ;)
You're the absolute best mate! killed it! Love the tunes brother! Love from Austin, TX

Omg you rock the K.O. 2000 !!!
Bloody brilliant - nice one man!
Imagine you're in the 90s playing video games with that as its soundtrack hehe, would make for some pretty epic gaming sessions
Thanks man! You get the vibe ⚡️👾👊🏼
Awesome set, and love the setting!
▲ also: nice t-shirt! i got the same one 💚💚
Absolutely mental. Holy shit.
Cuckoo is such a nerd. I love him.
❤️👾

Epic stuff man! 😎 Keep it up👏 you're a groovemaster😎
Dancing like you just received your medication at an old folks home while Grandmaster Flash is playing in the background.
Right up my alley as always, one of my fav composers, no doubt! I loved the dance too! I wanna a t-shirt , I'm going to get one for sure!! :)

Nice performance..I just purchased a shirt and those really cool looking stickers to customize my KO2, thanks 😎
Thank you so much Delaino! 🙏🏼
Great vid! by the way bought one of your t-shirts and I love it!
You are a Techno Wizard!
The coolest producer ever !!!!
That’s really good.
That shirt is dope !! And you have more dance moves than James Brown ! Boom
Very very cool performance!
❤️
Happy new year
Loved it!
Would you recommend the K.O ll for beginners?
Wow masterpiece so inspiring and musical ! Bravo
Awesome. Like your style
love your T-shirt!!!
you are a true inspiration ♥
Thank you so much Shuffly!
Funky! As per usual. Nice ☝️
why did I head "repaired" is 7th second!? xD I have no idea!
cool stuff, very Cuckoo beats!
That was AMAZING Cuckoo🩵😝🎆
Thanks!
Love it!! 🌀groove on!!
Cuckoo has the 20 voice polyphony version!
Haha 🤣
Such a fun performance! You should make an album with this set! :D
Thanks mate! I have actually recorded and mixed the original set from the Digitone. It's currently in the hands of a mastering engineer. Releasing early next year. These songs will be on the album!
Incredible!! Can't wait for the album release! :) Thanks for everything you do! @@truecuckoo
🙏🏼
What would you like Teenage Engineering to improve and add to the KO II in future firmware updates?
nice show !!
sick beats cuckoo 🔥
🙏🏼 thank you man!
This is really good.
🙏🏼
Is there a calculator mode? TE should build something like this into the firmware, it would make sense.
Damn man that was straight up beutiful! Scored my self a ko2, its proper bit of fun, hopfully can dive deep in for Jamurary 👽👌keep up the cukooing! 😂
Last track was 🔥🔥🔥
I wanted to buy the ko2 but ive seen too many complaints about it breaking? Does anyone has expirience with it?
@8:22 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Could somebody please up the key combo list in the quickstart guide that ships with the unit to a pdf or google document? I want to hit the ground running as and when my preorder eventually arrives and, last time I checked, this info wasn't on the TE website. Thanks in advance.
🔝🎛🔝
Excellent!
These songs are as fresh as your t-shirts man, respect. Also can I steal your dance style?
Thanks a ton, marc! Take the dance style, man! And let's dance side by side one day 🤣
I'm thinking about getting an OP-Z but should I consider this instead?
This is the best demo ive seen, so how do make tracks on this , are they all loops that cross into eachother when triggered ?
Is there a way to bind a FX to a scene? If not, can you ask TE to add that feature?
Those Tee's are dope :D...
🙏🏼
the sickest dance moves! ❤
I can’t stop smiling ❤
❤️
Master piece's 🙌🏻
