Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-33 K.O! Micro Sampler - Tutorial & Demo

In this demo and tutorial, Sam takes an in-depth look at the new Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-33 K.O!...a micro sampler with built-in 16 step sequencer! Check it out here: www.pmtonline.co.uk/teenage-e...
One of our favourite musical gadgets, Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators are a range of quirky, pocket-sized synths and drum machines. They look like calculators, sound like old computer games, run off of a pair of AAA batteries...and they're amazing fun to make music with!
One of the latest additions to the Pocket Operator range, the PO-33 KO allows you to save up to 16 samples, which can be recorded via it's onboard microphone or line input. Offering up to 40 seconds or recording time, these samples can then be processed and programmed into patterns using the built-in effects and step sequencer...and this video will teach you exactly how to do it.
Make sure to check out the entire range of Pocket Operators at your local Professional Music Technology...

I’ve seen like 50 videos on the PO 33 KO but this is the most helpful as to learn how to actually use it. Thanks a lot

[@bovinicide]

There actually seems to be a comment like this on every PO 33 KO tutorial I've watched so far, but too be fair, they're all helpful!

[@howardanderson3061]

So true, they are helpful.
I've never seen a bad po demo from these guys, they always do great work

[@AnotherBangaTV]

🎯 FACTS!

[@cebo24]

Yeah same

[@MarcellJjr]

Hows it been? Mine if full and I got it today

[@spybaz]

1) Watch this video
2) Purchase KO
3) Watch this video again - 3 times
4) Good to go with the KO

[@totino]

At step 3 now 😂

[@Poopees3]

Totally agree with the previous reviewer, literally watched hundreds of po33 tutorials and this one has finally helped me understand what it does and how to do the basics. I’ll just add I’m a total music production novice

[@lavantejohnson8782]

After watching several videos this is the one that convinced me to buy one

[@howardanderson3061]

Your PO demos are always of great help and value.
This one covering the KO is no exception, great stuff.
Thanks

[@Ivanlyashenko]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! this is the only lesson with which I made my first track on PO33KO I watched a lot of tutorials, but none helped, and yours did. Thank!)

[@manmaas]

Thank you Sam! Had one of these sitting around for months waiting to find a use for it and having run out of machines for manipulating/torturing drum patterns I realised I had this little guy.

[@PriscillaGomez]

Very clear short and concise. The way every tutorial should be. Thanks so much!

[@brenthoskins8436]

Best and most straight to the point vid on the PO33 on RUclips. Thanks!

[@thedogcalledno]

I just got one and was confused about how to use it. Just a few minutes into your video showed me so much. Thank you.

[@modernistn8]

One of the best tutorials for PO-33! Thanks for this!

[@TheChameleon2008]

Great demo and tutorial and it was super easy to follow and cant wait for my po33 to arrive so keep up the good work and thumbs up.

[@CmdrMic]

Very well done tutorial mate. Thank you. Very clear, easy to understand and follow, and not too bloody well fast (like many others). K.O. is a marvelous device! Dope!

[@edwardferry8247]

THE best tutorial anywhere on how to use these pocket operators.. 10/10 thank you.

[@GusWMusic]

[@Neuri]

[@jaredhaelplata]

[@SaEvSampleEverything]

Good comprehensive tutorial to keep them new comers motivated

[@hatimciabata]

This is the best tutorial on the PO KO on youtube.

[@D-v-8]

[@iosmusicman]

[@evaldasbutkus592]

Great tutorial!

[@phildoken]

[@sickly_b]

[@cosmoseinfeld1]

[@allegro_manontroppo]

[@wasabifinessed]

[@djformalin]

thank you...good help indeed !

[@joedurham2077]

Way Awesome!

[@tiredboi8326]

ur a legend for this video

[@traceywareing6377]

You basically did DJ Shadow....in seconds..that piano riff and that beat... DJ Shadow.....not criticizing... Not condemning... I think it's cool.... Therefore I'm condoning.... Awesome

[@davidpickett3546]

This is fucking great. That beat is 👌

[@Jpetersson]

That's the Pins and needles guy! Baaaaaaaah!

[@glenbrett6039]

Good video Explained clearly.

[@PMTVUK]

Thanks Glen, glad we could help! 🤘

[@GillJacobIsaac]

I might be the coolest mum ever buying my 12 year old son this for Christmas or he might need therapy trying to work it out, but we like the phrase on the back ‘god gives the nuts but he does not crack them’. We will crack it.

[@leewightman8619]

I'm thinking of getting one

[@Hakucho64]

At 8:25, it sounds a bit like When The Levee Breaks (ducks for cover from the John Bonham fans)

[@sammywarren3070]

Great video very helpful no BS! I wonder how many people have dropped their PO33’s in toilet trying that 🤣

[@sokoleski]

cleAr video....thanks

[@lbarnett748]

He looks an police inspector from the future. Nice demo though I want this along with the speak.

[@metalpsalm]

So if you can chain patterns together, can you then mix a chain down to a pattern or sample?
If so, is that limited to 40 seconds?

[@Marcos-wz4hz]

What happens if I chain patterns together and then decide to change the order that i patterned them in??

[@yoink6299]

The batteries look so big on the K.O, no wonder people buy cases

[@bboymac84]

That toilet flush tho...

[@mistrrey5562]

Clearing patterns is difficult. I'm holding down 'record and pattern' button like it says but it won't erase.

[@scally3296]

This is the correct method. Can even be in write mode.

[@Deckardrick007]

Im trying to assign one shot sounds to my sampler. To cue sounds to live feeds. Is it possible with this operator?

[@tomtoma8683]

Hi. When you live record live the piano sequence, if you don't like it how do you remove it ?

[@dans.8198]

The display graphics is clearly inspired by the old Nintendo Game & Watch series.

[@monkeyryan187]

haha you recorded the Bog XD

[@Com-rz2fn]

How can I delete my melodies etc. when I copy the pattern to anotger number.
Like Beat + Piano Meldoe = Pattern 1 > Pattern 2 = Beat + Toilet melodie. without the Piano melodie

[@prmcd]

Go into pattern one and erase piano section, then copy into empty slot. You can do the same with pattern two. You should have four different patterns. Then chain together. I think.

[@Com-rz2fn]

@@prmcd TY

[@fletchercleeve5940]

where does the cable run, ive literally never seen a pocket operator and am curios as to what they need to be connected up to

[@ahhh932]

It’s connected to his camera so the audio is better but there is a built in speaker so you don’t need to use a cord he just wants good audio

[@DosingRWerd]

Can you load your own samples in without recording them

[@DmitryStein]

"maikro sampla' " )))

[@deszczak]

when it comes to the bpms it's tencho, not techno

[@florinflorin249]

how do you save?

[@corleonemusicent5518]

Just subbed back bro I use po 33 too

[@googlepigs7027]

This thing ROCKS !!! And its CHEAP !!!
Great tutorial Sam !!!
