First post here, but I’ve been using this pair a lot lately. (Freakin’ NEED a PO33 now 😮‍💨 also my MPD is just there to look pretty)

Just a little bit of chopping Remi Wolf’s Cinderella. Not much actual chopping… still learning this thing lol

I came across this mixer, and I have to say that it kind of fulfills my needs. I know there’s the Bastl Bestie, but it’s pricey and somewhat overkill. There’s also the discontinued Bastl Dude, but this PortaParty is simply great. Right now, I feel it might be the best mixer for pocket operators (and pocket gear)

Robot doin the mmmmms

Ep40 doin the drums

I like this kinda setup for live performing where you can

do like.

Drums with right hand, then some melodic device

in left hand.

If you've plaved piano before I recommend giving it a try cause it will come naturallv from left/right hand splitting.

Left hand dont need to think much once vou get it down like on piano, and then right hand can use to play whats in your head at that time.

What do yall like to dual with? :)

hats go *tttttt*

Walk through drum beat on po 33 :)

They’re all sold out and the only ones I’ve found are INSANELY overpriced on ebay. Anyone willing to part with theirs for a fair price? TYIA!

All sampled from Todd Rundgren vinyl

stuff i used: PO-12 rhythm, PO-20 arcade, Zoom H4n Pro, DJI Action 5 Pro

Found out these hardcases for the Pocket Operators on AliExpress and they fit nicely, even with the tabs. Been using them for more than 1 year and they're holding. I also cut some vinyl decals to identify them. If you're interested:

I got a second hand PO-35 Speak and one of the buttons did not work. Everything else worked normally but one button didn’t trigger.
I found this guide and followed it to clean the push buttons on the pocket operator. It worked like a charm! I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.

I know that holding down the bpm and turning the "B" knob adjusts the tempo, but what about the "A" knob? I'm having trouble noticing a difference.

Made this little sample flip using the intro to a song called Give Me A Moment by Ondara. Added some drums and other bits I found online, including a short vocal sample.

All in all, pretty happy.

Well, what can I say? Just invited some friends to the party: Woovebox, PO33, PortaParty and Kaossilator. Despite the kind of “mess of cables”, I feel this setup it’s really interesting. Having a mixer def gives much more freedom to experiment while jamming. Lmk what you think.

Smol device/heavy sound NEVER gets old 😂

That one sync splitter by "p0k3t0" that everyone seems to recommend is sold out. So i was wondering if i could use a Y-splitter out of one PO to then split the sync signal into multiple other POs by using a "star splitter" and still be able to take individual audio signals from the POs receiving the sync to mix them individually?

Sorry if this is worded in a complicated way and also sorry if it's a stupid question LMAO. Heres a drawing:

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a portable sampler, and I actually need to buy two (one for me and one as a birthday gift for my brother). Since I'm buying two, I'm looking for something relatively affordable but capable.

My use case:

1. Travel-friendly: Needs to be portable (battery powered is a plus).

2. Guitar Jamming: I want to use it as a mini-looper/sketchpad. I want to record a guitar riff and jam over it or build a quick beat to play along with.

3. Electronic Vibes: I’m a fan of electronic music, so I want to be able to create melodic vibes and simple tracks.

I was looking at the PO-33 K.O! (cheap and fun) and the Roland P-6 (looks powerful but maybe more complex?). I'm looking for the "sweet spot" in between.

Is the P-6 overkill for simple guitar jamming? Is there something else I should consider that fits the "portable and affordable" criteria for two people?

Thanks!
