- Why the PO-24 is my Favorite Pocket Operator!
Today I'm talking about why the PO-24 Office is my favorite Pocket Operator! If you're a long time viewer of the channel, you know that I absolutely love the PO-24 Office. It's unique sounds and approach to the effects section make it a clear standout for anyone trying to break free of the "normal" Pocket Operator sounds! Enjoy the video :)

3 POs hat I really loved are PO12, PO20 and PO24.
Awesome!
Your original video is why I bought PO-24 first. Love how it sounds!
Glad to hear it!
i love how you always say how much you love the pocket operators yet they are always caked in dust as if you haven't touched them in months lmao
My studio is a shed in my friends backyard lol.
Ace. Thanks again for answering my question earlier today. I’m backtracking over all things PO now that I have three to play with. Cheers. Lee
saw your clip and instantly fell in love with this little thing. i actually ordered it without knowing the sounds (there was an offer so i got it like super cheap). NOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO ARRIVE
Awesome! I love how excited you are for it, and I hope you absolutely fall in love with it like I have!
@@FreeBeat already have the rhythm and factory, this should make a fine addition
Hey there....great video, as always! I wanted to mention a couple of things. 1....DUST! Your camera really shows the dust on that PO! Hehe. and 2. I was sure the PO-20 had that feature with being able to enable FX when not playing. And it does....sort of. FX 1-4 will turn on and off when not playing. Makes it great for doing intros. FX 5-8 are different. You have to hit play and turn on the FX (5-8) you want. Then stop playing and the FX will stay active while you play sounds. FX 9-16 do not appear to work at all that way, but they're real time sounds injected into the sequence. Anyway, thanks for getting me playing around with the PO-20 again! (and for making me think about getting a PO-24.....again)
I'm still trying to figure out my light setup, so apparently in today's video any little particles of dust showed up big lol. I totally forgot the arcade had a few effects that play like that as well, thanks for the reminder!
I'm waiting for your video's every day! Always hoping it's a pocket operator video :). Keep up the good work!
Haha there will be a lot more PO videos in the near future. Thanks for watching!
I feel the same way! Love the PO vids!
This is insanity. Trying to get back into making music/DJing after years.. Used to just use a midi keyboard and a couple of basic beat making applications to supplement club DJing. But this is next level and a challenge making beats and entire tracks and samples from scratch. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Ok, so I just freeboxed one of these bad boys a couple days ago. (I know, I'm lucky AF.)
I have been.. well let's just say, I don't need drugs anymore.
I've wanted a PO for as long as they've existed, and I'm stoked this is my first one.
Since I'm learning as much as I can, I'm looking up videos now, and I definitely took something from this.
Using the FX the way you demonstrated, that blew my mind.
But I just had to know, and yes, you can have MULTIPLE effects running at the same time.
Effects 1 and ten sound really awesome with instrument 14. Add in effect 6, and your on your way to making a banger of a track.
Definitely can't wait to add another PO or twenty to my pockets. (Considering making a special necklace as I acquire them...)
It makes me so happy to know that someone else is enjoying the Office as much as I do!!!
Great content....thank you! I have a PO33... now I need a 24... Dang.
Thank you! The office is a lot of fun, you'll really enjoy it.
This thing sound like its circuit bent! I love it 😂
Good sounds from a dusty boy! I think I'm sold on it after your video, it will be a fine companion to my OP-Z to make textures and tape glitches in trip-hop and lo-fi tracks.
It's a lot of fun for sure, sampling those sounds and messing with them is awesome!
Get yourself a can of air mr free beat! That PO is looking a little dusty💛
I promise it's not actually that bad, it's just how I had the lights set up. I'm still trying to figure everything out. What's the amount of dust comments I get you'd think people care more about that than the actual music 😂 Thanks for watching!
I have farts sound better than this. And when I am bored, I’d go back and do more after a couple of months. You are a funny dude.
Nice lol.
iirc has the arcade and the robot, both, the possibility to play the effect nr 16 without the device playing. curious about the office, its one of the operators i never purchased because i thought it was just tooo limiting. i am big big sucker for the po33, its, in my humble opinion, the more versatile operator of them all. but i will totally check out your ep and may get myself now an office....
Thanks for watching!
Once I got it I understand why ya like it now my favorite stays on me at all times lol
I'm so happy to hear that!
I feel like it would pair so well with the po20
That video is coming soon :)
Great. Dude, you so need the SOMA Anti-Radio 2. If you think these sounds are amazing, you should hear my home's water heater and microwave!
Hahahahaha
These are so nice
They really are!
Wondering..: Did you ever find how to make the PO-24 sound Louder?
This PO-24 sounds really quiet, especially toe 14 sounds really quiet when having it play in a pattern ( when not connected to an external amplifier that is..) .
Interesting, I haven't really had any issues with my 24 sounding quiet.
@@FreeBeat Do you always use it connected to an amp.? If so you won’t notice it producing only half the volume compared to the PO-1x series, but if you use it “ stand alone” then the maximum output is really quiet, even at max. Volume ..
Nice video as always. I know what kind of word you're searching for. I would say hostile. A few otber devices are like this. The vss30 and the volca sample 2. They all share this down sampled, micro tonal vibe.
That's a pretty good description! It's like aggressive but not dirty haha.
Please, I just bought an OP-1, I can't buy anymore Pocket Operators! I have plenty, but the Office and Sub are ones I still want.
At least those are the two least expensive pocket operators hahaha
@@FreeBeat Yes, true, but that doesn't help my addiction! 😭
Nice promotion of your favorite P.O. ! Well done!
Btw did you try the PO-16 already ?
Thanks! I tried the PO16 a few years ago and didn't know enough to really appreciate it. I'll get my hands on another one soon enough I'd imagine
Are you really going to make me get yet another Pocket Operator?!
Just one more!
I think I've heard this before, oh yeah 2 years ago. Lol
All kidding aside, it is cool. I think the Sub and the Factory have some amazing sounds as well that are overlooked
but the Office is special....BTW that's a wild ass pattern...lol
Hahaha yeah I can't help it, I just love the office too much! Everyone must know!
@@FreeBeat People are saying "Oh yeah Free beat, the office guy" . Lol
I love weird ass sounds, so this be perfect for me!
It definitely would!
I didn’t know about hearing the fx before the sounds,
Yeah it's pretty wild!
I dont usaly write commenrs these days cos i get in bed, watch your videos and fall asleep lol.
Much the video will surly be much appreciated as i fall into dream land
Hahahaha dream of synths my friend!
Also my favorite!
Woo, the more Office fans the better!
I know this is considered the "worst" P.O. to get as your first P.O. but damn and I thinking about it lol
If it's your first pocket operator it can be tricky to master, but it is an awesome little piece of gear!
I’d pick these up, but the sound quality seems pretty low. Would there be any way to make it not sound like it came from a McDonald’s toy speaker?
I had no idea this used to be your favorite? Maybe a new video with this one? Pair it up with the Zoom 70?
I think it still is my favorite actually haha. And that is a video that will definitely happen!
If they had Midi in out...
That would definitely be awesome!
@@FreeBeat Great ! One question : i have a sub 14 and the patterns are clean / How do i return them to factory sounds ?
Real question can I still sample po-office?
Nope, the Office isn't a sampler, sorry!
@@FreeBeat awwww its okay
Oh, do you know what's better than the PO-24? Umm, that would be TWO PO-24s. Many of the POs sound great paired, and at PO-24's price point... what are you waiting for... Cheers.
Maybe I'll just sample it on the KO hahaha. Thanks for watching!
@@FreeBeat Actually, that bloody Koala Sampler is crushingly awesome... It gives the PO-33 a HUGE run for its money. If you are going to sample the PO-24, I would go that route...
@@CmdrMic I do like Koala, but I enjoy using hardware way more haha.
@@FreeBeat I hear that Bro, and tend to agree. That said, you have to admit it's pretty slick. I've got every PO, and two 33 and 35, and you talked me into ANOTHER 24. ;-)
@@CmdrMic oh yeah definitely, best sampler on Android by far!
