Smooth. I like your presentation very very much. Nice and easy - less is more - no titles or edgy editing, This is how tuts should be done. Nice job. Looking forward for more. Thumbs up.
Enrique Martinez Music Always go to your videos for tutorials, just got my PO-33 today and I’m loving it Thanks for the all the tips and tricks of the trade ahha
This man literally said "leave me a thumbs down so I know where I can improve"....good on ya mate! 🤙 And I will be purchasing one or two of these little gadgets so my daughter and I can learn together, awesome video man much appreciated
It was so worth returning to this tutorial Enrique. After owning my PO33 for a few months, the concepts make more sense. Fantastic stuff! Oh yeah by the way... thanks for lost time today. I can´t account for any time between 2pm and 8pm today. It started when I was looking through your RUclips videos.
Thanks Ricky! I just (after a few failed attempts) put the opening 2 measures of Slowdive's "Sugar for the Pill" over a hip hop beat and am now artistically fulfilled for life. Thanks for the thorough and easy-to-follow video man!
This is so awesome, thank you for sharing. I just picked up the PO-137 and 138. I never understood not only that you could take the melodic and split it as a drum track, but also that you could multi chain the pattern. I knew I could be like 1 - 4 - 5 I didn't know I could be like 11-4-11-33-45 etc. I really appreciate you posting this. I also love the drum pattern on this. Thanks!
I just discovered this device via a random YT vid and have been looking around at tutorials. This was the easiest to understand by far and got me more excited to go pick one up.
FINALLY some good tutorial. Seriously, after a lot of time digging through videos and official docs (terrible I'd say), this is what I was searching for: just simple steps to get started explaining everything not taking anything for granted. Also edition is great.THANKS!!
Hi there. I am just getting into these pocket operators and have little to no musical experience, just a love of music! Your videos are really fantastic for a beginner like me. Thanks man. You really are great at these instructional videos.
Recently bought the PO 20 for my son and I to learn. Now I have it down and after watching this I believe I’m ready for the 33 or 133, need to sample after peeping this tutorial.
Really well done. I've been looking at a couple of tutorials for knockout in the past 24 hours, and found this one so easy to follow. Smooth pacing, clear explanation, great beat - a fantastic watch. Thank you.
This is a superb tutorial vid. Thanks for the focus on trimming and beat slicing samples on the K.O. I love this thing and it's amazing to see classic cut-up techniques applied to something that fits in your pocket. Same with the Rhythm which is pretty much a pocketable 808. Respect!
Oh man! you just showed me an amazing trick that I can also use with my PO-20 (Arcade) at 8:20! Copy a bass-line to several patterns AND THEN LIVE RECORD over all of them in sequence! That way I can actually live record melodies up to 16x16=256 steps long!
Great video bro and love the nice calm sound of your voice so it makes the whole watching experience so much better, unlike many youtubers who are more acting then making quality content.
Just a note: You mention that if you put a sample in the melodic section you can play it chromatically across the buttons. It's not actually the chromatic scale though, it's a minor/harmonic minor scale. I was confused at first using it for that purpose
Enrique you are a smooth operator. I have picked up a lot and an op-z since the first time I watched this. Now that I understand better what you are laying down I see how you are truly working this device.... Slick. I was getting frustrated because the ko being monophonic was bothering me but then I watched this video again and it opened my eyes. I didn't realise you could pattern chain and then live record over that with your special tweak recording melodic into drum chop NICE! That opens up the almost instant wall I was hitting with the ko. You sir rock the house. Thank you for being you.
CORRECTION NOTE FOR NOOBS (like me right now ;) - at 5:17 and 5:26, when Ricky says "press Record" he meant to say press "Write." Hope this helps someone, or, if you happen to see this Ricky, maybe you can add a text overlay at those parts? (Also unsure of RUclips editing capabilities after the video's already posted." That said, THANKS FOR MAKING ALL YOUR VIDS, RICKY!! Very much appreciated, Brother!
Thanks so much dude, this is what I got the little beast for but was spending ages trimming as I had samples entered into my the drum slots first. Game changer. cheers for being so generous with your Knowledge. Peace.
Yo Enrique, i’m french and i just bought Po33. Thank You so much for your tuto. It’s very helpfull even for a french guy like me. Your track is amazing. Thank you man 🙏🏻
quick tip: if you want to follow your pattern sequence, just keep pressing the "pattern" button - now instead of the step, the led sequence will show which pattern it is playing .
Minutes before watching this video, I ordered the PO-33 and was second-guessing my decision to go with it over the Tonic or Speak... After watching this video I'm certain I've made the right choice. Thanks!
@@RickyTinez It came in yesterday! I've messed around with it for about an hour & I love this thing! I sampled some drum sounds from my CASIO CTK-601 and some melodic plucks from a kalimba, and I've already got a shuffly groove inspired by your kick drum arrangement in this video. (thanks! :D) I can't wait to take some of the janky beats I've made on my PO-12 and sample them into it for some really crunchy cuts! Again, thanks for your inspirational and educational videos!
I love your videos, and your videography is so on point like yo beats. I love your intro, doesn’t matter if I’m watching at 3am it makes me want to make a beat, grind some beans, and smash the French press along with some dope beats.
Thanks for this- and that’s another one sold. I’ve got a couple samplers on iPad and they’re frankly incomprehensible, even with tutorials. This looks easy and practical, and import/export looks to be a no-brainer. Got homemade guitars, synths, drum sounds, two dogs- that’ll do for starters!
great little tutorial just what i needed. I got the Ko but was clueless ... gonna hook it to laptop and have a follow through what you did. :D inspired. thanks.
I’ve been toying with buying a PO-33 since it was launched. Think I’m going to pull the trigger. Great little device. Has to be the most interesting in the PO series.
Just got a PO33 as an early Christmas present to myself. Watched this video a few times trying to get the techniques/concepts and your presentation style is a massive help. Thank you and Merry Christmas :-)
This tutorial is awesome,very good tip,really thank you so much man~but is anybody have revive data err problem,when you slice this way?thank you so much
The crazy thing to me is that people call these things a joke but this guy just made a totally viable hip hop beat (while doing a tutorial) from scratch in 12 minutes. A good amount of that is his own skill but either way, it shows how powerful these little things are.
Oh lord this video was a delight to watch! You are a super nice person, instant asmr watching you create :) Super helpful info, nice beat. Much love, God bless!
I ended up having to get one of these, and it is as I feared! Now I just want more samplers! Haha! This little one sever stops to amaze me though. Cheers for a helpful video! Got some long bus rides coming, so plenty of time to noodle and make beats! :D
Always enjoy your videos, especially the PO33 and digitakt ones. Would love to see something on effects/effects hardware you're using. All the way from Sydney AUS 👍
Awesome tip! I got one of these to use as a drum machine when I first started producing, but I almost immediately replaced it and forgot about it. Viewing it as a sampler instead of just a drum machine is something I definitely plan on doing going forward. This video will definitely get me back into it. Thanks!
Hi Enrique. Thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial video. This should be considered at official website and RUclips channel of Teenage Engineering. Congratulations. Very very good.
Are you going to do more KO vids? I've seen two by you so far and I'm enjoying them. Waiting for my PO-33 to come in June (originally was meant to be in the shop today but there's supply problems). You're making me super keen to get my hands on it. You make the process look super chill and straight forward. Happy to give you genuine critical feedback once I have mine. Cheers from Australia.
THANKS A LOT!!! I've made a sequence on my drum machine with 16 sounds that I need so they're equidistant to each other and with this technic i don't need to trim they at all!
Great tutorial, thank you. I'm pretty new at this so my attempts to make this work come out pretty choppy. But I've discovered that after copying my sample into one of the drum spots each "slice" is like a trimmed section of the whole sample, so I/you can change/expand the trim job in just one of the spots to get a smooth sample that with play through the whole pattern, wihile just punching a single button instead of each button in succession!
I have a PO-133, the Street Figher KO basically, but it doesn't detect transients when I record directly into a drum slot. It just slices the sample into 16 slices no matter what I do. Which is not bad, but what I'm saying is that it does what you're showing by default. As the OPZ and OP-1 does.
This is an Ace review. I love Music, don’t play an instrument, thought I’d buy one of these to get to grips with rhythm and simple melodies ...if it takes I’m going to try to eventually get into Synths. Any recommendations for an entry level Synth?
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm having trouble copying and pasting the same way you are doing, a recorded sample from melodic to drum track. Only some times is it slicing it equally and allowing me to play the newly copied sound across the 16 keys. Some times it is only allowing me to play the full sample on the drum track and the rest of the tracks are silent. Is there something I am doing wrong?
New to the PO organization. You are a fine point of reference! Thank your for all of the helpful tips and dope beats, this is a really dope new way sample melody into the drum section and use it creatively 🤙🏻
How long did it take you to adjust to the fact that the numbers are UNDER the buttons? I don't know how many times I've fucked myself up by pressing the wrong button because I was reading the easier-to-see label ABOVE the button lol 🤦🏻♂️
this is a great video. My only setback is that everything sounds choppy I guess? There is no onboard method to regulate some sort of ADSR (and/or sidechain) effect?
yea that's kind of the way it is. the best way to overcome that is to change the sample end point, and let it play all the way through until you hit another pad. but there is no release to let it go quiet slowly.
Im starting to get the hang of it. But I still can't add a beat multiplier. What the manual states doesn't work. Can you explain it for me, please? Thank you. Great video.
Man you are teaching people to fish with your tricks, this is genius
Wooo! I’m glad to help
Exactly !!!!!!
This was the most perfect comment.
Smooth. I like your presentation very very much. Nice and easy - less is more - no titles or edgy editing, This is how tuts should be done. Nice job. Looking forward for more. Thumbs up.

Man did you notice at 3:38 you played Giant Steps by Coltrane!? Nice video!
holy crap... you just blew my mind. wow that was insane.
Haha that’s hilarious. Major 7 arpeggio!

I’ve now watched this numerous times. Absolutely love your style and content is GREAT.
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much
Only just bought my po33 to run with my tonic and factory but the 33 looks like the most flexible pocket operator so far! Nice vid.
Hi there. I am just getting into these pocket operators and have little to no musical experience, just a love of music! Your videos are really fantastic for a beginner like me. Thanks man. You really are great at these instructional videos.

Cool demo and tips. The Po-33 is the standout best pocket operator in the lineup imo.
For sure the most flexible. Paired with the others it becomes pretty fun too
@@RickyTinez how to speed BPM in this video?)
Really well done. I've been looking at a couple of tutorials for knockout in the past 24 hours, and found this one so easy to follow. Smooth pacing, clear explanation, great beat - a fantastic watch. Thank you.

I love your content man, thanks for showing all of us how to make the most out of our PO-33s.
That part about how to get the clean slices was so helpful thank you!
Minutes before watching this video, I ordered the PO-33 and was second-guessing my decision to go with it over the Tonic or Speak... After watching this video I'm certain I've made the right choice. Thanks!
i'd backlup that decision any day of the week! Glad you liked it Freddy. Has it came in yet? what you think?

This was incredibly easy to follow. You're a wonderful teacher. Thanks for making it :)
Finally getting a PO33 on Monday; for a late Christmas present; pretty excited, thanks for putting out this video.
Great Tutorial
That was a tasty mellow slice you showed! I ordered one earlier today and this was a great display and tutorial for this instrument!.
I love your videos, and your videography is so on point like yo beats. I love your intro, doesn’t matter if I’m watching at 3am it makes me want to make a beat, grind some beans, and smash the French press along with some dope beats.
Hell yes! Mission accomplished

Just picked one up two days ago basically figured it out. But there's a few wee things I need to learn so this video was helpful thanks dude
Just got a PO33 as an early Christmas present to myself. Watched this video a few times trying to get the techniques/concepts and your presentation style is a massive help. Thank you and Merry Christmas :-)

Hi Enrique. Thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial video. This should be considered at official website and RUclips channel of Teenage Engineering. Congratulations. Very very good.
You're ace man. Thanks so much for all the videos I've watched so far ❤
thanks so much, enrique, for always sharing the love, the knowledge, the power.

@@RickyTinez Yeh I just ordered one too because of your videos. An update would be bad ass.
Ive got one coming in the mail in a couple days, im gonna have to sample some of my vinyls slowed down
THANKS A LOT!!! I've made a sequence on my drum machine with 16 sounds that I need so they're equidistant to each other and with this technic i don't need to trim they at all!
Thanks for the nice tutorial. Now I‘m one step further with my PO
Beautiful walk through. Thanks so much for sharing.
Good stuff. Very informative video. Easy to follow what you are laying down.
Thinking the KO will bite the first PO I’ll get for myself, seems to be the most fun on it’s own.
Thank you Enrique. Have recently bought the KO and am learning a lot from you on how to use it.
Great tutorial, thank you. I'm pretty new at this so my attempts to make this work come out pretty choppy. But I've discovered that after copying my sample into one of the drum spots each "slice" is like a trimmed section of the whole sample, so I/you can change/expand the trim job in just one of the spots to get a smooth sample that with play through the whole pattern, wihile just punching a single button instead of each button in succession!
Lol, I guess this is the same as recording the whole sample into a melodic spot though.
This beat is doooope. I definately am buying this.
Yet another super informative video I thought I knew the po 33 inside out till I watched this thanks for the tip
Nice! Glad I can help expand the mind haha
I have a PO-133, the Street Figher KO basically, but it doesn't detect transients when I record directly into a drum slot. It just slices the sample into 16 slices no matter what I do. Which is not bad, but what I'm saying is that it does what you're showing by default. As the OPZ and OP-1 does.
Thanks Ricky just bought PO 33
Just got mine in the post today! Your videos are immense! Make it look so easy! Haha can’t wait till I’m knocking out some smooth grooves! :)
Thank you so much for this sharing!! Super useful for the beginner. I'm practicing it now.
Great video once more, still tempted to get a P0-33, but I'm going to stuck with what I have and save up.
its out of stock everywhere so even if you wanted you wouldn't be able to get 1
This is an Ace review.
I love Music, don’t play an instrument, thought I’d buy one of these to get to grips with rhythm and simple melodies ...if it takes I’m going to try to eventually get into Synths.

Thanks Josh, i really appreciate that
Awesome video!! Most definitely want to break out the K.O. and the MPC!
Love your videos! I can't wait for my KO to get here in a few days and to start playing with it, you're giving me a ton of inspiration!
New to the PO organization. You are a fine point of reference! Thank your for all of the helpful tips and dope beats, this is a really dope new way sample melody into the drum section and use it creatively 🤙🏻
A really useful tutorial! Is there any way to reverse an individual sample and save it? Many Thanks.
How long did it take you to adjust to the fact that the numbers are UNDER the buttons? I don't know how many times I've fucked myself up by pressing the wrong button because I was reading the easier-to-see label ABOVE the button lol 🤦🏻♂️
shiitttt bro u was onn that last effect part at the endd, amazing video cant wait to get mines
i LOVE this video - it would be so cool to see a similar vid but on the PO-133 Street Fighter
It's the exact same device
Thanks for the video ! It really helps understanding the PO I just got :)
so good. knowledge is power.
And that’s how I decided to pick up another Pocket Operator.....
Seriously though, this is amazing, I can’t wait to get one!
they're addicting be careful! haha
Tengo el k.o en mis manos y gracias a tus explicaciones voy haciendo cosas más divertidas, gracias!!
De nada ezequiel!
Well done man. keep it coming
brilliantly explained. major help, thanks
Best Tutorial for me and my PO :), big THX!!!
Watching your work flow is dope! 🖖👽
Amazing! I really enjoyed that missing note in the first step
Great tips, great delivery. Quality.
Appreciate that Chris, thank you
Thank you for this great tutorial.
This tutorial is incredible, thank you - quick question, did you have to match the KO’s tempo to the sample’s tempo, and how did you do that?
I didn't know about the holding down write button thing!!!
this is a great video. My only setback is that everything sounds choppy I guess? There is no onboard method to regulate some sort of ADSR (and/or sidechain) effect?
yea that's kind of the way it is. the best way to overcome that is to change the sample end point, and let it play all the way through until you hit another pad. but there is no release to let it go quiet slowly.
Im starting to get the hang of it. But I still can't add a beat multiplier. What the manual states doesn't work. Can you explain it for me, please?
Thank you. Great video.
