I love my Pocket Operator ko.. but the Tonic is easily my most used Pocket Operator. Just to show its usefulness i make a dawless track utilizing drum samples from the Pocket Operator Tonic and sample them into my MPC 3000 to sequence the song.

yeah... we're gonna go ahead and need you to post more mpc 3000 content. 🙂
Yeah RICKY. No hold outs.
Shoe Engine totally agree ❗️
Ah que si tio !
But... but... burn building
Mhmmmm
Something about that old grey MPC aesthetic.
the greyisch look of the old Akai rack samplers always reminded me of scientific instruments, really liked that
Looks like a big cash register, with super sized numbers for those of us with bad sight :D.
@@FourTetTrack read somewhere someone said that they had a old mpc and an old lady thought they were a robber coz she thought MPC was a cash register lol
No joke it looks like this older device they used to have in air traffic control towers. Which I'm currently blanking on the name.
@@256k_ hahaha, I can completely believe that!!
IMO the mpc 3000 sequencer is one of the best and easiest sequencers ever made... thanks roger linn...
Not one of the best. Thee BEST! Although I hate the work flow, the sequence & sound are KING. I have every MPC!
Seeing the MPC close up is giving me PTSD flashbacks to my DPS-12. That one was a nightmare. Some poor bastard translated the manual into a human language. Oh yeah, I did the mistake of getting the FX expansion too. The guy at the store was like, "I can sell the expansion to you, but I can't help you with it. No one can."
A little over a year ago the Tonic was my first "toy" I've bought since my drum kit 11 years ago. Since then I've added 2 more P.O.s, Volca Keys, Reloop SPiN turntable and now the MPC One. Love this channel. 🤘
Amazing how hands on and fast the MPC workflow is. I used to make beats on Maschine and I grew to hate music software. Now i make my beats with an Alesis SR18 and an OP-Z together to a multitrack recorder and have never been happier. Yeah it can seem arcane but working with gear fills your grooves with happy accidents and gives you a kind of a “fuck it” attitude that is so freeing. You would’ve been messing with an EQ chart for 30 minutes in a DAW lol
Only time I use a Daw (Reaper) is for transfers and mixing. I can never use that bs for composition or recording. Production and tracking are done exclusively on hardware. MPC 2000 and a portastudio.
Diane V same. I just move the files to a DAW for EQ and minor mixing adjustments at the end
Did my internship as a music therapist last year with troubled teens that kinda drew me back to making beats and stuff. We started out on a laptop, but after a while I started to notice they had a lot of trouble staying focused and weren’t really connecting. Since my own interest was piqued I had gotten myself my first analog mono synth and a Groovebox, the latter which I took over a couple of times and was an instant hit. Not only was it easier to connect with these kids because we could work simultaneously on a single machine, they also were waaaaay more stimulated by having a tangible instrument with pads, knobs and dials by which they could explore a wide variety of sounds and completely lose track of time. Coming from playing mostly (bass) guitar, this was such an eye opener! So yeah, for all the possibilities and convenience you might have in software, there is much to be said for having a hardware instrument despite all its quirks and limitations.
I feel you to a certain extent - but you can work exactly the same way on machine for the most part, if you choose to. Coming from a 100% hardware background , I've made beats on maschine for a year and never experienced anywhere close to as fast of a workflow.
Dru Won yeah for sure Maschine has an amazing workflow and as much as hardware is great, tracking drum parts to isolate things like kick and snare can be a pain with drum machines. That’s why I’m having to use two drum machines. I’m experimenting with just doing beats on Maschine and tracking the rest as audio from gear next though.
Who could hate on your flow? You just created more music in 20 minutes than some of us in weeks, plus content for the channel, and happy accidents.
Bob Ross legend... peace, happy accidents 😀
That jam is a keeper. I keep waiting for Gilles Peterson to come in and do a Worldwide ID "...something brand new from Ricky Tinez..."
Definitely Worldwide material!! ✊✊
Microtonic by Soniccharge is still one of the best drum plug-ins alive.
not much competition in that market but I'd say Drum Computer by Sugarbyte is #1
Came for the Pocket Operator, stayed for the MPC workflow :-)
Mr. Oizo!
MPC 3000: Copied by many, understood by very few.
Nice groove bro. I also felt that charging an extra 100 bucks for the software to use all the sound design possibilities of the PO-32 was a bit cheeky. But I bit the bullet, and seriously, it makes the sound pallet of that little thing IMMENSE. It's particularly the B knob, allowing you to morph between 2 sounds you've designed that sets it apart.
lmaooo i enjoy the archaic workflow too. i gotta get my old 2000xl up and running again, i miss it like crazy
Great video! One quick tip. Before you start sequencing on the MPC 3000, assign the slider to the pad FIRST. You can chose (filter, decay, attack, pitch, etc). Once you record your sequence you can go back {AFTER} and make subtle changes with the slider while in overdub mode. Makes the loop really dynamic. It took me over a year to figure that one out. 🤦♂️ The manual was kind of vague on the use of the slider.
Yea finally figured this out haha. Suuuuuper pro tip! Thanks for sharing it Andrew!!
I've had four different PO's--Tonic is the only one I've kept. MicroTonic VST is fantastic.
Same here! Microtonic Vst def worth buying!
The speed at which you find, record into, and start using a sample on the 3000 is mind blowing. Plus the speed of creating sequence variations and whatnot. I know you've been using this gear for a while now but there is definitely major workflow advantages of the MPC...
I have tha mpc 3000 limited edition still tha world's greatest sound ever,
My friend gave me the speak for Christmas and I’ve been using the drum sounds from that because they’re so good and they’re based off the tonic- I might pick the tonic up too for all of the sounds
Yea! That’s a good way to get into it
hehe same, the PO-35 is the only one I have, bought it for the voice synthesis, but I use the tonic section more often, makes a lot of fun.
Quality house in 10 mins
The 32 with stock sound is by far one of the most versitile po's.
you have to do the same in ableton or any other daw as well. if you need to adjust the velocity, difference is you need to adjust it with a mouse and/or type or scroll in the right value, people seem to somehow always forget that. Somehow I prefer to do it the mpc way as well. So much satisfaction on the mpc. My favorite piece of kit in the entire studio hands down...
As Shoe Engine said, we're gonna go ahead and need you to post more mpc xxx content.
I'm a mpc live user and seeing someone work on an mpc is, at least, inspiring. :)
I use a JJOS Black 1000 - I agree with ya.
also, it's excellent for tracking, as you can arrange a whole song with unlimited pattern arrangement.
Your hands move too fast across that MPC..... When you know a piece of tech inside and out 😲
I don’t have any of this gear, I just love to watch. I spent a lot of time looking over the various models of the pocket operators, just couldn’t settle for stereo out only. But I’m getting closer.
PO-32 and PO-33 are my favourites too. I use both alone, and also sometimes sample a 32 drum/-percussion set into the 33 sampler.
Mr Oizo called he wants his bass back hahahahh.
People been saying they can imitate this sound all day every day. But I have yet to hear anybody imitated it properly. I don't think it can be done.
...And watch the prices of MPC 3000 rise on Reverb.
Yeah - I could pretty much watch you make dope, grooving house beats all day long. Amazing as always - love the groove you cook up here! 😀 👊
You just got that 3000 out of a time machine or some ish??? That ish is pristine af. No yellow buttons or anything. I see you got the og 3000 sound disks with the Akai logo printed directly on them. Preview owner took great care of that ish
Perhaps the previous owner just didn't smoke😅
I love my tonic too, I had the vst before I got the tonic so I was really happy to have a hardware version of the software. I was getting tired of hearing and using the same drum sounds that everyone else uses in their music, the tonic is very refreshing.
Yeah buddy! Have you gone thru full making of a track in any video? I'd be interested to see you take the jam from your MPC, bring it into Ableton and edit into a proper track...
that MPC filter+ envelope works so good on raw chords like that
The Mpc 3000 is my favorite, I use Mpc Live just because there is less wires and loading floppy’s was super whack, but when the mpc 3000 was on I usually kept it on for bout 4-5 hours And I dont think any machine can make drums knock in a warm punchy way like the good ol 3G.
When I'm put on hold , I want this in my ear .
Don't judge? That's dope! There's a lot of people who have chosen to work in the same way. You feel the groove of the Mpc and it's worth the pain. Which in the end isn't really pain, for me it's an inspiring workflow which demands ideas, sweat and commitment for the sounds. Love it. Btw, in case you don't know him, check out Ian Pooley...for me he's the king of Mpc house and he uses the filters extremly well on it's samples 😍
...one day your MPC 3000 is going to ask you to confirm that you are not a robot
Bro, you just provide a huge point! You are not crazy! I think a lot of us have been! Seeing you use the MPC was ah-inspiring it reminded me of the first time I ever played with one. The speed in which you can tap into inspiration have instantaneous feedback and build a total Vive is still untouched. Technology has given us a lot of cool new toys but I still don’t think it matches what can happen on the MP. I repent. I have backslidden into the technology life of sin😂❗️ I’m gonna get a MP, ASAP😂‼️
The Tonic and the KO are definitely the two best PO's.
very nice thoughts on the POs, my favorite is the Arcade cause of it's low pass filter and I can just plug in the Rick and Morty PO to it as slave and get funky with the filter this way rather than having to play the Arcade sounds all the time
Well done sir!
My man! Appreciate that, big appreciation to you for teaching me a ton and inspiring me to continue creating 🙏🏽
how cool would it be if they made a skin/case that looked like an MPC? i wish i had a 3d printer.
The tonic is great, I sync with a square lfo from the modular and run it through clouds.
So this is how they make that music that is playing when I go in a club after playing a gig. Very enlightening
Getting a mpc 3000 is quite pricey these days.. what would be a cheaper modern substitute with same tactile feedback and creative speed?
MPC one. Hit me up. admin@easymusiccenter.com. We got them in stock
MPC 2000XL, MPC 4000, MPC 5000
when I use to own the 3000 , it held a special place in my heart it will do the same for you.
also Ian Pooley uses his 3000 for all his work. telekom electronic beats made a 2 video series on him and his MPC
I could only get 2 right now i I wanted the arcade cuz it seems the most complete but while chiptune is fun and all, I kind of wanted to make hip-hop so I got the KO and the Rhythm did I make a good choice I know the tonic you can download more Beats with the software but I think for now I'm good with the onboard rhythm Beats hopefully this is a good pairing
Wow u sure are quick & efficient on the 3K! I wanna be like u lol! I’ve been wanting one for 13yrs now & will finally get it! (Former 2K XL & REN user). 💪🏾
MPC + PO... this is too good!
You ever use the PO-35 Speak? It has 1 channel of the same PO-32 drum stuff (including the transfer with microtonic) but then like a weird vocoding sampler engine?
Seems like it'd be more useful if you're just grabbing sounds for a sampler.
This is neat, Ricky. I'm not an MPC guy, but watching you work out on the machine, I totally 'get it'. Also makes sense how well the Tonic works with that.
It's bumping!
Sounds incredible and to think its almost all from the Tonic! I got the KO after seeing your videos and have loved it since. If I hadn't just bought a digitakt I'd consider getting the tonic too just to have fun with that (I realize the Tonic is much cheaper before anyone comments but that's all I have to spend and once it shows up I know I'm going to be fully distracted by that lol). Love the jam you come up with and it always impresses me how quick you do it even if there were a few moments of frustration that's still a quick build for something so fun to hear and watch you make.
I really like how you showed your creative flow. Thanks for posting!
Great video Ricky....LOVE that 3000! So...call my stupid but, I've never really
understood a patchbay, or how to incorporate one. Would you mind doing
or pointing me to a video that shows the exact breakdown of how to use a
patchbay please? Love all you do Sir. Thanks, Ringo.
Hey man, I never understood patch bays either but I couldn't work without one now! The best way to explain it is.....
If you're looking at the patch bay, imagine that now you're looking at the back of each and every piece of gear that you have. And then label the patch bay in accordance with each piece of gear.
So example: Ricky's using a mpc 3000. It had 10 outputs and 2 inputs for sampling for a total of 12. Take 12 cables then and run them into the back of the patch bay. And if you have a keyboard or sound module there's another 4. 2 in for sampling and 2 out for the sounds. Now with shorter cables that they sell called ''patch bay cables'' the 2 machines are able to be accessed at will without ever having to unplug the back of your machines again. Then if you have a mixer same theory applies. Then you can at will separate tracks, mix and match gear or send individual signals to your daw or tape!
yeah thats cookin
SO your saying if you love the po12, and you love drum machines then I will deff use the po32 alot. I got a volca beats and I love the kick sound and thats about it. Haveing an Fx button is nice for fills My fav. volca is the volca bass. I thinking 20 years from now the winning POs will be the po12, po32, po33 and po128
.... and the Tracker.
Go, Ricky, go!
I saw this video and immediately copped an XR20 to use it like this. Great video!
My MPC 3000 is still the centre of my studio. Nothing compares :)
Since its release the microtonic VST is maybe THE tool for Kickdrums in Hardcore and Gabber.
So it is not that useless😅
What about making a video about the ideal setup, exploring the various alternatives in the market for each element that composes it. For example: the ideal setup for me is: a sampler, a mono synth and a poly synth.
i agree, but what about a sequencers for the poly and mono synth? heh
where you been the last year ?
Has that sweet sweet late 90’s house vibe! Love this groove man!
This is great stuff Ricky. Your workflow with the 3000 is magic. The 3000 may be limited on features compared to the later editions of the MPC but the workflow once you know it it's fast and the end results for me have a better feel. Please do more content with the 3000. You may force me to actually get one lol
Nice bro, the mpc 3000 is the goat of MPs, only one i kept after 20 years
Missing out by not grabbing Microtonic.
Bro where did you get that LCD screen from? I need to change mine and your looks clean af!
good use of the 16 levels velocity function...my way to get a beat grooving on the mpc
sampling tonic + 12bit =
Greetins Ricky, I have been watching you for a long time and learned from you many things about the hardware. I wanted to ask you to make a video if it interests you(coz its something you have never done): a video about how to set up a LIVE recording room or any other place for homes and small studios while recording everything with cams: for example 2-3 cams look from different angles at setup, at artist, at room while artist performs: what cables/cams should we need to setup and any software to use for this for example to go Live on media platforms like Facebook/twitch/youtube the main question is how to connect your live setup to a Camera so all the instruments and synths start playing while cams record that full quality audio. would be a great tutorial for Live artists who have all the gear at home and cant play because of the epidemic situation happening in the world. example video would be from me an artist called VOSNE < which performs on youtube (dubtechno sessions) I and other people here would be really interested to dove deep into LIVE video recording tutorial made by you... its just a suggestion which would fit into nowadays global situation. thank you for reading and wish you all the best. 🖤
Eyyy another pocket operator video!
Just bought one of these off your affiliate link on another vid. Thanks for all the info on these things!
What a delicious and meticulous machine.
Can't even hate fam that beat was fire!
I also have the 32 tonic since 2 years, I dont use it because the software is another 100$.
I would actually use it if i would own the software, but i feel like the vst is not worth 100$
there's tons of patches online that you can still use without having to buy microtonic yourself
i think u can get a discount if u ask magnus over at sonic charge. if u give him your PO TONIC serial code i believe he does give you a discount on microtonic. i would check the forums to be sure
What Emily Banks says above! You can download an audio file with a set of new patches!
I know there are free patches guys, but i would love to use my own 😅
Yeah same I bought a car but I don’t drive it cos it would cost money to put fuel in it. I would drive it if it had fuel but I feel like fuel is too expensive
There s nothing like hardware, i like to build chords and grooves on the maschine or ableton push but I sample everything to my samplers or to my MPC 5000
Hi Rick! I've been binge watching your videos in the last month, you're an awesome creator
dude i bloody love this channel
Well that was fun
Hi , you could do a review of the Roland MC 707 please !
Love watching you work w this combo. Considering getting a tonic at some point in the future because it looks so fun and robust. Maybe for now i will try to find a tonic sample pack online. My main sampler right now is the sp606 and I love combining it with the monotron duo. Similar type of thing, super versatile little sound machine. Great video man 👍
Bruh you make me wanna get a mpc, the shit looks so therapeutic thanks for the content I loved it.
It's really fun to see your workflow in real time. The 3000 is definitely an acquired taste and a piece of history. I love your channel btw
Pretty good showing off video. I love the way this guy makes music.
Was waiting for this video. Thanks for the great content dude.
sick. what a rad retro piece of kit to know inside out and to jam to. Sounds awesome t o be honest (14:00).
You can assign filter cuttoff to the slider.
I've just ordered my first MPC. Got a 1k coming soon. What routing set up do you have for audio ins? How you easily recorded audio from you daw to your MPC in this video?
Enjoy your 1000! But do yourself a favor.... Investigate the 3000 and the 60II a little bit.... You won't be sorry!👍🏾
This is awesome mate!...now I need a PO32 and an MPC 3000... :)
Dopest video to date ! All the new gear is good and nice but only when sampled into the mpc it becomes music.
Just plain fun. Great video!
that bass sample gives me major flat beat vibes
I'm waiting for Behringer to make a clone of the pocket operator
MPC 3000 quantize sound so musical.
Cant fuck with the MPC workflow, cathartic!
Wow, the 3000, is dope. I have the 2000xl, ASR 10, plus more.
But the filter on that sounds so lush. Even the resonance? The resonance actually made the sound better?
Can the 2000xl switch the pitch of your performance like you did on the 3000?
That was pretty cool. The filter on that sounds great.
Cool sounds!
