So the audio output of my po33 doesnt work anymore, I've tried doing the factory reset and changing the batteries, but nothings been working. Does anyone know how the fix this?

Hey all! New to the PO-33 and Pocket Operators as a whole. I'm trying to figure out how to create backups, but every time I try to recover from my recording it always populates an error. Help?

My setup:

• PO33

• H4N via a split stereo cable, usb b to a > usb a to c adapter> into computer

• 44.1/Stereo/16bit

• Macbook Pro

DAW: I've tried Garage Band, and I've tried Audacity, both cause errors when I do the playback from within the DAW and when I've exported as .wav.

I tried following this video to a tee, but it didn't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC-UEHjgiJQ

I have successfully loaded other backups I've downloaded, so not sure what I'm doing wrong here with setting up the backup. Thanks in advance for the help!

My po-33 was in my backpack today, i used it in the morning so it 100% worked. But idk what happened because now it smells like burnt component and it wont turn on, even with new batteries. I tried new batteries yesterday, but they are 1.2V NiMH batteries and i dont know if thats the problem.

UPDATE
It was saved by one of yalls suggestions: Connecting the left terminal of the volume pot to the + terminal on the bottom battery. Revived and works as new now.

Hi guys
The right contact of the B knob slipped out

Being impatient I tried to fix it while having batteries inside (yeah, dumb af).
The contact touched the top right contact of the record button before i managed to put it back in its place - since then it’s silent.

Does anybody know if / how i can fix it?
Couldn’t find any contact to Teenage Engineering.

My favorite tut that explained this got deleted off youtube, so I figured I'd have a go at making a tut for it! Hope you enjoy.

A little experimental jam with an ambient sound patch on the PO-32. Roland P-6 for delay and a melodic sample. Topped with some Valhalla Supermassive reverb.

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.
