I decided to really chill out and make a Lo-Fi Beat on my PO-33 from Teenage Engineering. Want the Samples? Download them Here! drive.google.c... **Please Like and Subscribe**
Thank you! It’s all about having the right samples and a little bit of creativity! I like to link my patterns together so I don’t end up with too repetitive songs.
Thank you! I appreciate you getting some of the subtleties in the decor. This track was made in a really relaxed mindset where I was ok with time just going by.
Thank You! Yes, the K.O. is capable of full length tracks if you want to use up all of the Patterns! Thats what I normally do and then I record the song and delete it all!
@@GarHoover you know you can backup your projects to PC or any audio recording device right? Then you can restore them if you ever want to edit them or play around with them again.
I love the PO-33 but the problem I have with it is I'll make a handful of cool patterns I like, run out of sample room and just stop using it for weeks because I don't want to delete them. I wish there was an easier way to save patterns/songs/back them up and offload them. How cool would a PO that played samples off an SD or microSD with tons of sample time be? I guess I'm just spoiled because of the Sp-404, even the time limit on the OP-Z bums me out nvm the KO. You definitely do some impressive stuff with your KO! Digging the videos.
I wish you could save songs and have more sample space on the PO-33 too! Who knows, maybe they'll make a PO-33 Pro, that would be genius! I'd pay an extra $50-$100 for more sample space, saving songs, and a microSD slot!
@@GarHoover Teenage Engineering is sitting on a goldmine, if they were willing to improve on their previous releases. An OP-2 or series of Pocket Operators with a bit more functionality at a higher price would sell like crazy. I think it will happen eventually but it doesn't seem like they are into it at the moment.
I guess you could view the OP-Z as that in a way tho. Along with the KO, Speak and Tonic, so who knows. Maybe I'm just reading into stuff I've read too much.
I get what you mean! The OP-Z for me definitely feels like an complicated Pocket Operator and I really like using it, unfortunately my music I release on the OP-Z doesn't receive the same amount of views as my PO-33 videos even though they are at the quality! I think I need to buy the OP-Lab module for the OP-Z so that I can have all of my TE products jamming together!
My advice: get multiple 33s. Actually hear me out here though. Because they can all link together, you can have one sampler for carrying around, sampling percussion noises, and just generally handling the percussion. Then have another one that you process your samples with to create leads and what not.
Thank you! No, I recorded it on my iPhone when I was at Grand Lake in Colorado and then connected my phone to the PO-33 and recorded it directly into the po-33
Please tell me, is all this music in its entirety an order of sequences that automatically replace one another? or was it mixed in real time "manually"? I’m also thinking about buying po 33, but I haven’t fully figured out its capabilities! Thank you!
Unfortunately, I've had terrible success with backups and when I do it wrong, it wipes my entire project when I try to test it on my own PO-33. I provide the samples straight so that people can use them on PO-33 or any sampler they like! Thanks for watching!!!
When sampling bass it tends to pick up a little bit of buzz and some artifacts on the high end up of the spectrum but using the filter helps correct some of the buzz!
Hello! I know this is tedious but you will need to record each sample into different banks! Melodic one shots should be in record into the melodic banks and all Drums should be recorded at the same time onto a drum bank. Chords and Rocks should be also be recorded into their own drum banks as well! Hope this helps!
Whats your swing setting ? Sounds lovely lush delicousness with perfect beat. Mpc essentials swing starts at 50 and i cant really hear that sweet shuffle you got bringing this
Great Question! Its set to about Swing 4 or Swing 5 on the PO-33 and the Swing on the PO-33 goes up to 9 I believe! I know its a little different than MPCs and stuff that start at 50 so maybe 75 might be good on an MPC for a similar swing?
Thank you! I have a few tutorials walking through Lofi tracks I've made, feel free to check those out on my channel under my Pocket Operator Tutorial playlist!
Hello, if you listen to the samples in the description or watch my tutorial, you will see that I have recorded in chords and I am sequencing out and adjusting the length of them and the same with the waves. All sounds in the track are sequenced out as I saw fit. The sample time of 40 seconds does not make the PO-33 viable or realistic as a four track recorder.
The beat is dope, especially the bass part. The whole randomly placed objects (isn't that a Knobs thing?) not into it. 😂😉 Great job with the KO though.
@@GarHoover No the rocks are awesome, I was talking about the video set (watch, cassette). It seems to be a trend, not a bad one, just a popular one. The beat is 🔥. Great job!
@@marike1100 hahah oh yeah... I'm guilty of that. Sometimes I feel like I need to add a little more intrigue to a video especially if I have sequenced out all of the patterns and just hit play. I prefer filming outdoors whenever possible because the background is a little more dynamic!
Idk man if it’s done with taste, you can see the expression in placed objects. It’s only a pretentious hipster thing if it’s done without thought. I see from the two objects 1. An old Tape.. I record loops on tape and incorporate it into my music. It’s Also a reference to old hip hop! 2. The watch. I see an average joe who has to abide by the laws of time to make a living and lead a productive life... but not without taking a break to express himself, not necessarily to the public eye, but for himself he set aside the constraints of “time” to let the feelings of his soul run wild through his art, in this case, making music. But that’s just my opinion, and interpretation.. I feel ya tho man.. lots of pretentious people getting in on a cinematography trend. But I do believe that some mean to relay a certain message sometimes... through their true self expression.
Please please make a tutorial for this one, one the coolest!
Thanks! I generally make tutorials when I receive a lot of requests. I'll wait till the end of the weekend to see if theres a demand for a tutorial!
Tutorial would be sweet. Would be cool to see how all the samples were sourced. Super clean tuning across all the sounds.
Wd love to see a howto man!
Nice. I'd also like to see a tutorial man
The Tutorial is up!!!ruclips.net/video/c47QHnfIalc/видео.html
sooo smooth. lots of pocket operator jam demos sound annoying but this one is straight dope
Thank you! It’s all about having the right samples and a little bit of creativity! I like to link my patterns together so I don’t end up with too repetitive songs.
Man this is OUTSTANDING. Definitely 'God Level' PO-33 expertise. Really great tune, super depth. Love it, Bro! Thanks.
Wow thank you! Be sure to check out the tutorial if you want to learn how I made it!
Cool song, added to my main playlist on Spotify!
Thank you for the add! I really appreciate it!
Super simple. Super genius. Super heavenly.
Super Thank you!
You’re easily one of the greats with a PO-33, Gar! ❤
Thanks for posting the samples my dude. This is really using the PO 33 to it's full potential. Definitely wanna try to reach your level bro!
You're welcome! Hopefully, I'll get the tutorial for this track finished soon!
I bow to you PO-33 master!
haha Thank You! I appreciate that!
The bass line... sweet!
Still
The best PO operator thus far! Colorado stand up.
Thank you! Yes I miss living in CO!
👍🏼😀Cool track.!! Cassette= old school music. Wristwatch = time passing.🐂💨💨💨💨💨
Thank you! I appreciate you getting some of the subtleties in the decor. This track was made in a really relaxed mindset where I was ok with time just going by.
Beautiful beat, I would like to learn how to work the bass, I love yours
Thank you!!! I have a tutorial for this song where I explain each aspect of the track including the bass!
It’s in my tutorial playlist!
Again...I love your sounds and groove and overall creative ideas...
The water breakdown thing is awesome!
Thank you! The waves stay in sync with the song surprisingly well!
Mastery of the instrument. Cheers. Lee
Thank you for the encouragement!
Outstanding
Simply the best
Thank you as always!!!
Perfect composition, rly Ty for sharing with us!
excellent
Amazing beat✨💥✨💥Just got my K.O watching this video below my head off didn't realize you could make a full track.

Dats the chill shit

Sooooo good
sounds really good i have to say :) keep it going man
Thanks and Yes, I intend to!
🙌🙌🙌
Yes ! Very cool ☺
Thank you!
goddamn
Haha thank you!!!
Lo amo 🔥💋❤️🇨🇱
This is dope
Sickness worth 2 listens! Epic
Aye! Thank you for the double listen!!!
Damn that is tasty. Is the sound of the water something you recorded with the PO itself?
Thank you! No, I recorded it on my iPhone when I was at Grand Lake in Colorado and then connected my phone to the PO-33 and recorded it directly into the po-33
@@GarHoover Great! It captures it well I see. I have purchased the po 33 - looking forward to getting creative with it like yourself!
Nice
Thanks!
That's crazy good!

Lol I was expecting the samples to be backups

Does the 33 KO have big bass sampling frequency ? Does it's goes very in hard bass?
When sampling bass it tends to pick up a little bit of buzz and some artifacts on the high end up of the spectrum but using the filter helps correct some of the buzz!
TE should endorse you ASAP. This is serious.
Thank you, since the making of this video, I am now a “TE Mentor” and receive gear from every now and then and help them out with events in my area!
Not really.
@@Purrrelll everything ok? You’ve provided encouraging comments in the past. You seem a little frustrated
Kinda need help, how do I upload your samples to my po33? It all gets stored in the first button...
Hello! I know this is tedious but you will need to record each sample into different banks! Melodic one shots should be in record into the melodic banks and all Drums should be recorded at the same time onto a drum bank.

@@GarHoover thanks fo replying, so on mpc start at 50swing what is your fav sweet spot you set at ?
So you can record different patterns and sequence them together all with the PO-33?? That’s insanely powerful if so.
Yes! Most of my songs I make use all 16 patterns and I’ll sequence them together to make a song!
@@GarHoover that’s awesome
I tried to make a Lofi best on mine … alot of respect to you
Thank you! I have a few tutorials walking through Lofi tracks I've made, feel free to check those out on my channel under my Pocket Operator Tutorial playlist!
You basically used it as a 4 track recorder.
