My friend just bought me this as a gift and it has already become my number one idea sketching tool. This video alone has given me even more ideas, to the point where I'm probably going to backup a bunch of 'sample packs' to my phone so that I can load up sets of instruments whenever I want. aaaaaaaaaa
With the number of OP-1s you've (probably) sold (by being cool) Teenage Engineering should custom make you a pocket operator with a red button for record.
Your fantastic. Got this in the mail today, it’s my first pocket operator. I was playing with it and hoping there would be a tutorial online. Red means awesome videos you really enjoy watching.
I don’t need this or want this but after seeing this super cool video I’m going to buy it. Then use it for an hour and then put it with my other po’s that I didn’t need or want. All because Jeremy made me buy them. Damn you and your super cool videos...
If you want to free up some space and send a po or two to someone who say hasn’t got a synth but is super curious about them maybe that someone could work something out with you great is the world dot com
Great into! The PO-33 KO! is an absolute beast! I’ve started making beats with it for my channel and have to say that the ease of sampling is unrivaled!
Been waiting for your take on the PO-33. Many months ago watching your PO-20 Arcade video at 2am while recovering from surgery made me impulsively buy it. 3 PO's later and im loving it. Now to save for the KO.
Thanks, I was actually searching all over youtube because I couldn't remember how to live record melodies. I just picked my PO33 back up again after a long hiatus. Peace
I started out with the sub and factory, had tons of fun, then got arcade, those 3 are awesome, then I got speak and was scared of it because it's a bit more complicated than the other 3 but now I've got much better at them, and added robot, k.o. is next. Surely one of the greatest inventions of all time.
I just bought one of these secondhand from Ebay and your review is just SO useful in getting me started with using it properly. You obviously have a gift for going through the features of such a device in such an informative and yet succinct and lighthearted way, which is very much appreciated and rather refreshing. Many thanks and please keep up the good work.
The Speak? I don't think so. No harder than the K.O. I actually found myself enjoying the Speak a little more off the bat. That said, as a sampler, the KO is really all about what you feed it and how you work with its limitations.
Your videos made me want to buy an OP-1, but that was too expensive for me. This is like a tiny OP-1, only affordable and easy to bring along.. I might want to buy this too. Damn you and your cool toys! :-)
I come back to this vid every time I forget how to use my PO (being too depressed to touch music gear for a while) So, I just want to let you know I appreciate you, Jeremy. Obviously beyond just this vid. But since I'm here, I thought I'd just say I hope you're doing well.
Dude, every time you post a video exploring new hardware (especially when it's Pocket Operators), I want to throw my wallet at them and just buy. I miss playing with sound. Having these, specially while I travel, would be so dope!
@@MasDouc I just bought a PO33 and spent 1 hour before making a fun little beat with my voice as a sample for one. I literally learned it all in an hour. It was so fun even if the beat stunk!
I know this is an old comment, but the thing with pocket operators is that they feel flimsy. I kind of bought one just for this reason but even with the additional protective case it feels risky to put into pocket, because the knobs are exposed. Im not aware if there are some alternative case to protect the knobs as well, but it just feels counter intuitive to have such a small and compact piece of hardware that you can take anywhere you go, yet theres a slight risk of the device being broken because it lacks the protective case. It seems very ideal for you to just be able to pull this thing out of jackets pocket while sitting on a bus or train, or such, yet the exposed knobs are in risk of taking some damage if you accidentaly manage bump into something since they are exposed.
@@GregAdamsEternal yup. Sampling straight off my phone via line in on the go, bus, work, train, .....insane! an MPC around my neck petty much haha. Look up Enrique Martinez Music. He has a data dump and slicing tutorial that'll help big time.
@Satanic Speed Metalhead just Clear that pattern or sound by holding REC and whatever patter/sound you're trying to clear. That's the only way to get ur full 40 second sample time, etc...
Excellent Jeremy. I’ve had mine a while and not got to grips with it until (finally yesterday) a 14 hour power outage, which left me little to be able to do. I followed up with tutorials like this today and now I feel like I’ve nearly grok-ed it. Cheers. Lee
I got a little lost at certain parts but this was still highly entertaining and informative. My Rick and Morty PO is coming in the mail tomorrow, I'm excited to see what I can make.
Jesus Christ I'm so early. Hi Jeremy! ^~^ nice to hear your voice again. Also. Good job on your productivity levels. Let me know if you need any help, dude. Keep on rocking, Snowmew!
Nit at 1:35 ... you say it's playing patterns 9-12, but if you look at the LED screen, it's actually playing patterns 13-16. I often misread the button labels too, I think they should have put the labels above the buttons instead of below them.
I purchased a PO-33 about 7 months ago. But a few days ago, for no apparent reason, it stopped turning on. I found him with a completely dead screen and couldn't resuscitate him. I did everything that is written on the manufacturer's website, but it did not give any results. I began to study this issue and it turned out that this is a common problem faced by po owners, it just stops turning on for no apparent reason. As far as I understand there is some error in the design or program. I wrote to the support service of teenage engineering, to which they replied to me that they could not replace my tool and could not repair it. They sent me a list of components so that I could order them and repair them myself. This is strange. Because absolutely nothing happened to PO, it just lay idle for a few days, and stopped working. If even the specialists of teenage engineering can't fix this flaw (judging by how often PO owners face this problem), why do they offer to fix it for me on their own? Then they stopped replying to my messages. I was very disappointed. I paid $ 90 for a piece that didn't even work for half a year. I was refused replacement, technical support, and no response at all. And the output sound of this thing is really shitty.
I didn't like the lack of an on/off switch on my PO14 Sub, as it just sat there for ages and I mean...Ages! before it powered off. So I built myself a custom wooden case which included an on/off switch. Really easy to do. You just solder a small thin washer on either end of the switch wires and place them either side of a rubber washer, which all sits between one end of a battery in the po14's battery compartment and it's connector. Works a treat :O)
I love my ko I sampled my voice and a coin drop on a chest of drawers and turned it into a beat lol it's a sick little sampler I may grab the tonic too or the speak
One of the best producers on RUclips hands down! And I can tell, you have a touch of OCD, from you using the lines on the table keeping the device aligned! 😋😍
So clearing a pattern is forever? If you do a factory reset will every return? I read that reset it to the factory settings you hold the pattern and write buttons while inserting the batteries.
Back at it again. If you’re gonna make some songs can’t wait to see which PO configurations you jam with. Have you tried any new soundpacks with the Tonic?
I've just searched RUclips and Soundcloud for playlists. Jakob Haq has some GREAT ones on his channel. Good sounds and the choke groups are well organized. My favorite is the 808 kit from Abstract Reality which can be found on Soundcloud. Batteries, Beats, and The Great Outdoors is another youtuber with some patches and of course Cuckoo. Cuckoo's are paid, but you also get an OP-1 patch as well as the wav and drum files. The patch i'm using now is from RUclipsr Bruno Kramm which is a "tonal" pack. 6 or 7 or the sounds can shift pitch and length basically so you can add color to drums or make melodies a little more easily.

honestly they look like SMD buttons, you could probably de- and re-solder on a new button
@@TheAechBomb Yes. I can confirm this works
Mate. Get it rite. He ain’t no Carl cox. Or pointdexter. He’s a nerd.
I'd settle for just a free 10-cent case (to match my 5 cent board) at this point...
finally, a device for me to record a bird on
FINALLY
And then you can use the "Reverse" effect to flip it.
@@mumiemonstret And it will sound like Satan

What I really want is Jeremy’s discipline, patience, and attention span

You can. Practice, strategy, meditation.

Electronic massacre - what one has gotten the most use or held your attention/affection the longest?
The po-20 arcade is probably the best one. But they all have good points and they all work really well together
I feel exactly the same way. I haven't even opened it yet.
I can send you my address to help you get rid of all those pesky "po's that (you) didn't need or want" - :D
If you want to free up some space and send a po or two to someone who say hasn’t got a synth but is super curious about them maybe that someone could work something out with you
great is the world dot com
I finally went ahead and got one of these, and I'm loving it so far. This video helped me learn my way around it super quickly, so thanks!
I love when they make the samplers almost like a game, so cool
That backup function is amazing! And what a simple, open solution it is
This quirky little device has TOTALLY changed the way I make music. Great tutorial...in fact, this is THE best PO-33 tutorial out there!!!
i love ur pocket operator videos the whole reason i found ur channel was through ur original P.O tutorial videos i could just watch these for hours
Never expected to be slapped in the face with humor in an informative video about this product.
Much appreciated!
Great into! The PO-33 KO! is an absolute beast! I’ve started making beats with it for my channel and have to say that the ease of sampling is unrivaled!
Mine just arrived. I'll only watch this video 13 times. Thanks for posting!
It's cool to see how this stacks up against the Volca Sample, especially with the size difference and added screen

have fun producing king
you had me at "swing knob" ...bro
These POs make me feel like a real musician

Just wanted to let you know that I love your videos!!
(they really helped sparked my interest into this new branch of music)

man your channel is so awesome, i can't beleive it. creative, funny, informative, couldn't ask for more honnestly🤩
Holy shit dude, this is amazing! Amazing little machine and awesome video. I'm really excited to see what you'll do with the po speak!!
me too, the speak is a total blast
Red Means Recording Is it harder to use than the rest? I saw cuckoo's video and it seemed harder to me.

Was waiting for this! Quite interested in this'ere PO. Nice.
Edit: well I didn't even know half of this was in the device. Even better!
Just got mine in the mail. This thing is EXCELLENT. If anybody here is thinking about buying one of these, you won't regret it.
Ikr!! Pocket operators are SO fun, I’ve actually got them all (plus a few broken ones).
Looks like they're made lots of usability improvements since the PO-12. Nice.
I’m writing a book about what the play button does. I’ll send it to you when I’ve got it published!
the meme is strong !!! so good (best video explaining the PO-33, i mean...you got meme and education in the same video? sign me up)
meme?
Best video ive seen on any of these!

Same here, except my lil bro just got it for me as a bday present haha. That's why im watching this video

Just ordered one. Cant wait!
Onw of the best tutorials
1:40 oh gawd please make a full track out of this

I saw this on teenage engineering's channel and it look sick!
I was waiting for this video! 🤩
I got a little lost at certain parts but this was still highly entertaining and informative. My Rick and Morty PO is coming in the mail tomorrow, I'm excited to see what I can make.
Great, thank you for the Video. PO-33 is a wonderful instrument.
With videos like this the thing doesn't need an instructions manual. Another good one Jeremy _o/
"i'm going to make a bunch of mouth sounds"
*picture of Niel Cicierega appears*
goddamnit
That was such an unexpected surprise. Made my week.
omg i just noticed that i replied to one of your comments like a few years back! i think it was about linkin park or something
thecoolgamerguy i'm famous now nerds
If you know who Niel Cicierega is then you probably should own a PO-33.
Me watching this = dudes in Area 51 trying to understand alien technology
Finally i have been waiting for a while!! I can finally become a pro po-33 player
I just got the Street Fighter edition on sale for $60 & its insane how complex this little thing is for that price
Great overview of the PO-33 K.O! Thanks for sharing!
Another great review. I love the fact it has a mic going to get this one to use with he arcade for sure !
The best tutorial on the PO33 hands down , thanks
aaaaaAAA THE LIGHTING IS SO PRISTINE
Yeah it's working!
Great review, man! I learned and I was entertained!
Jesus Christ I'm so early. Hi Jeremy! ^~^ nice to hear your voice again. Also. Good job on your productivity levels. Let me know if you need any help, dude.
Keep on rocking, Snowmew!
MOW
This is what I was looking for and now I have found it.
The play button is for loading and unloading only.
If you have to load or unload, go to the play button.
(You'll love it, it's a way of life)
You've been to a few airports, right?
Cut the play button sh*t John, your just mad about the abortion.
The little intro jingle sounds completely different if it is played at different volumes... Super trippy
I still can't figure out what the play button does. All my synths and drum machines have one, but I can't wrap my head around it.
Vox Potentiae he had me at first! I was all .. oh shit!! I wonder what it REALLY does... 😅
I too am bamboozled by the mystery that is the Play Button.
The best tutorial I've found so far!
Been waiting for this!
Pretty nifty, Jeremy. Thanks for the upload and the info!
sooo i bought one! definitely a interesting piece of hardware 😌

That is a binkers cool ltem...never seen this before....great vid...a bit like a micro mini Deluge
btw if the four sounds on one spot doesn't do it for you they make a drum kit version I'm collecting all 9 they are beyond fun to mess with.
I bought one of these today. I can't wait to be able to walk around with a sampler in my pocket!
9:42 my ninja!
Just got one today and having fun now! I think the play button is here to allow you to drink your beer.
The play button plays whatever pattern you have selected
Love the horse zoom in. My life is now complete!
That thing is so cool. So are you
Yeah, I bought an Op-1 because of you..... LOVE IT!
One of the best producers on RUclips hands down! And I can tell, you have a touch of OCD, from you using the lines on the table keeping the device aligned! 😋😍
That doesn't mean anything. Don't be disrespectful.
Jeremy, please leave my wallet alone!!
Just making friends with my new Digitakt thanks to you. This friendship is becoming expensive...
You know how many people you confused when you said you didnt know the play button played I felt like I didnt even know what it did anymore😂
yoo i just ordered mine this weekend im excited :)))
Bought one a few days ago, IT"S SOO GOOOD!!
Wonderful as always!
This is such a good overview!
but what if you sample the data burst noise and then use it to make music, then back it up, then sample that...
hey jeremy, nice video. i like the bit with the pocket operator most! you are a good person.
I love this device, iam having so much fun with it
So clearing a pattern is forever? If you do a factory reset will every return? I read that reset it to the factory settings you hold the pattern and write buttons while inserting the batteries.
This is awesome info! I cannot even see the manual let alone attempt to read it😆
Very nice, thanks for the video!
I love this one the most!
thanks bro.
I like it, i have it....play >start the pattern, i think🤭...nice work mate
I’m new to pocket operators this video helped me but how do you write in melodic recording like in 0:59
This would be awesome as a sample source for the digitakt. May have to grab one of these bad boys.
13:10 Save in what? or where?
Thanks heaps for introducing me to this, Got one today it's awesome!
Thanks Jeremy, that was super helpful and really well explained!
please give a turorial on how to say something i forgot that part
Back at it again. If you’re gonna make some songs can’t wait to see which PO configurations you jam with. Have you tried any new soundpacks with the Tonic?
Not yet. Where is a good place to get them?
I've just searched RUclips and Soundcloud for playlists. Jakob Haq has some GREAT ones on his channel. Good sounds and the choke groups are well organized. My favorite is the 808 kit from Abstract Reality which can be found on Soundcloud. Batteries, Beats, and The Great Outdoors is another youtuber with some patches and of course Cuckoo. Cuckoo's are paid, but you also get an OP-1 patch as well as the wav and drum files. The patch i'm using now is from RUclipsr Bruno Kramm which is a "tonal" pack. 6 or 7 or the sounds can shift pitch and length basically so you can add color to drums or make melodies a little more easily.
nice, thank you!
