  • PO-133 Samples a Piano!
    Today I was at my friend Oliver's house and I decided to sample his piano with my PO-133 Street Fighter! I absolutely love being able to bring the PO-33/133 with me and sample my surroundings, including the sounds of acoustic instruments! All you need is a little bit of theory knowledge to sample and playback whatever notes you want. As always, the sampling/writing sessions ends with a signature Free Beat bad keyboard solo! Enjoy the video :)

    I'm so glad you keep doing videos using the classic and simple gear you started out with such as the POs. That really helps with my GAS, as creativity with what I already have is what I need to stay grounded -- not buying new gear that I THINK will help make me a better musician/song maker. Learning new and creative ways to use the gear you own is key to making and finishing tunes. Thanks again for not abandoning the basics!

    I love using my PO-33 as an audio sketch pad. I’ll load a few sounds and screw around to see what I come up with. Then I pull out my monster (MPC Live2) and make the composition. This thing is SO fun.

    An easy way to sample any instrument that requires two hands to play is to prerecord the instrument with microphone into a hand-held recording device (or into a computer or smartphone), then send the prerecording over cable connection into the PO-33/PO-133 where it is captured as sample.

    • @FreeBeat

    I really liked this one, using the Sub would have really filled that spectrum but sampling is probably the single most important thing to know as an electronic musician! Nice job! Peace, your probably sick of my fascination of the Sub, so I apologize. Lol

    I am trying to emulate how you use the banks to sample. When you sample the tonic, did you use bank 1-4 for the drums? I thought 1 and 2 was already assinged for the piano chords, and 4 for your thumb click

    @PocketOperatorGuy 2 года назад +1

    Piano and guitar is one of the touchy sounds to sample. The brilliance and definition of the pressed or plucked notes get lost once you start messing with the notes on the P.O.
    If you sample the sounds and chords in the drum slots, it doesn't lose alot of its "originality" when you switch between octaves or pitches in the scale.
    I find pianos and guitars sound kinda toyish when you play with the pitch and scale on the melody section.
    Good video. It sounds good, very informative and helpful!

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  2 года назад +1

      Yeah, the full definition of the strings is completely messed up by the 33, but I sort of love it haha. Thanks for watching!

    Brilliant sampling method!
    I’ve been wracking my brain trying to find a way to imbue a given sample collection with some flexibility. The “record a major chord, a minor of same key, then the tonic note and relative minor note” is really simple, yet I suspect really powerful.
    Obvious in hindshight, I wish I thought of it! Bravo, sir!
