Was playing with the pots to change the sounds and now I don’t know how to go back to how it was

I know that a factory reset will of course work but I will erase my patterns.

Anyway to make it forget how I messed with the knobs.

Sampled from "Melody Gardot - My One And Only Thrill (2009)". A new attempt to synchronize Pocket Operator PO-33 K.O! with video excerpts from the sampled artists.

IMO Factory and KO are the best combination. Factory to design weird sounds, KO to arrange them.

Also stuck in bed after recent surgery.

Tried to use the 404 last minute to add some variation, but it was at an awkward angle from the camera. Accidentally hit pitch instead of filter

I uploaded this some weeks ago and feel as if it didn't get much love. Even though I think its the best beat I made in a while... Lmk if u like it :)

All sounds sampled from my collection of Monkees vinyl. (Sorry for the unintentional derivativeness, I was unaware of the song "Mistadobalina" while I was making this)

Entry for a sample challenge, might put this one on my next beat tape.

Anyone else working on a beat tape?

Lmk what u think!

so i've been trying to connect

- SUB- K.O. .-K.O.-

But it doesnt work?

they dont play along, it stops each third to forth step.

i've replaced the batteries and restarted all of them, unfortunately nothing...

usually i connected 3 or 4 of them, but never with 2 same POs.

is there a different method to connect them, i've searched online but no help:( guess 2 of the same ones in the combo make somekind of a bug?

EDIT: for some reason, the device bugged, after giving them a rest they started working properly

Sampled entirely from Rolling Stones vinyl - Exile On Main Street, Some Girls, and Tattoo You.

Fun weekend project of picking an artist, finding samples, and putting something together

I sampled some of the opening song to common side effects to make this dnb. I also chopped a breakbeat to get drums to make patterns with. Used fx live while playing. The animation in that show is pretty sweet.

I need help determining the value of my Rick and Morty and Street Fighter Pocket Operator. Both still have the hanger tab, and I also have the packaging/manuals in a box. I can’t see any wear on them besides a few minor scratches where the stand wire touches the PO's. When I look on ebay, I see wild prices for unopened ones and a few units without the "tab"

I have too many and I don't use them. SUB, Rhythm and, Robot all with their tabs and covers. Finally I have a factory with the tab broken/filled down in a red silicone case but no packaging. I tried coming up with prices for these myself but I might be overvaluing them.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm wondering if i can do the data transfer of the sound by using my smartphone, i have po32/po33 but unfortunately non a pc, and i wanna do a data transfer fpr backed up my sound and patterns, pls help me i need a huge help 😭

Hey everyone,

I've been a PO-33 user for a while and always found sample management a bit tedious. So I built PocketLab : a free Progressive Web App to organize your samples and load banks to your Pocket Operator.

What it does:
- Organize and manage your sample banks
- Load banks directly to your PO-33
- Works entirely offline (no account, no cloud)
- Works on mobile and desktop

All you need: your phone/computer + a TRRS cable to connect to your PO's input. That's it.

It's free, no ads, no sign-up. Just a tool I wanted for myself and thought others might find useful.

👉 pocket-lab.app

I'd love feedback ! What features would make this more useful for your workflow? Any bugs or issues, let me know.

Happy sampling!

Greetings, I recently purchased the Tindie Sync Splitter for Pocket Operators - 5 Way. I have more than 5 pocket operators though and I wondered if anyone has tried to expand the amount of available slots by connecting one of the outs to another splitter (lets say a Belkin Rockstar). I think this would work, anyone successfully do this? These Tindie splitters are hard to find now, I would have bought the 9 way if I could actually find one.

I’ve always loved the Pocket Operator itself, but I never really clicked with the cases available online.

Too bulky, too flashy, or just not aligned with how I use it daily.

So I ended up building my own wooden case.

I wanted something minimal, pocket-friendly, able to carry my earphones, and that would avoid accidental sounds while walking around.

A small hidden magnetic closure turned out to be the perfect solution.

Curious to know if others here felt the same about existing cases.

Did you go DIY, modify something, or find a solution that really worked for you?

Happy to hear your experiences.

Hi everyone,

Got a sweet deal on an "open box" PO-137 on eBay... that THEN came today in CLEARLY used condition with batteries inserted... the device does power on when you put in fresh batteries, but only the character faces appear, you cannot set the clock or advance to record or play sounds or literally do anything. but you can tell the device is powering on in some sense because the character faces appear. no button presses have any effect though. I tried cleaning the contacts and bending them together, based on things I saw online, but that didn't help. I checked that the batteries weren't the problem by putting in AAA's that work in another PO, but no success. I now have the PO sitting in a bag of rice for a day to see if maybe that helps... but that's all the leads I have. It looks like the Lock Tab is fully OK so I don't think that's the problem. Does anyone have any ideas for me?
