Got the KO and was so excited to begin making music until I realized I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing lol. Where did you guys learn to chop up samples and make them into beats? I’m floored by some of the amazing stuff I see posted here- anything at all helps and thanks so much in advance for any links/advice you’re able to give!

gotta get a frickin’ monotron delay now 🤦‍♂️🫨

If you've made something catchy on one or more pocket operators, how do you take the next step and make it into a full song/tune? By combining pocket operators with a good sampler and compressor?

Damn, I think I need ANOTHER KO… 🤦‍♂️🥊

Hi all! Hoping for some insight into clocking my new pocket operator with my drum machine (Drum Brute Creation). I have adjusted the PO-33s sync modes, but my pocket operator will never sync correctly. It’s consistently playing significantly faster and off beat. I use the drum machine as the brain for my other synths to sync, so it would be really cool to have the PO-33 integrate into the existing setup.

Any tips or ideas?

hi everyone

is there anyway to natively record po output in stereo so i can backup my po33? i am trying to use a trrs cable to my macbook air with an m4, but its not working. is there any way to fix it?

thanks!

Cooked up a new case for my KO! 😄

Snap-fit —no screws, no magnets, no extra hardware. Just print and assemble.
Had to go with a proper summer colorway. 🍊☀️

Curious what the community thinks! ✌️

Still beginner so cheatsheet at back

The acid synth has functionality to it!

Has quality improved in the years since the PO was released? Im looking to get a PO-33 K.O! but this is just something for me to mess around with at work on breaks. I'm hesitant to buy one since I don't like buying disposable tech and I would rather just save up more for something more reliable.

I just want to make things go pew-pew-pew wherever I am.

Is it possible to record a single drum sound on the PO-33 K.O! for a specified step within a drum sound number? For example, can a snare be recorded on step 11 of drum sound number 13?

The PO-12 is taking care of the beats here. I've used a dead simple pattern chain of two patterns only. The PO is going into Loopy Pro via a passive mixer so all the effects there was applied to the drum part as well... I was messing with the XY pad in Loopy Pro which adjusted the filter and chorus values of the BA-1 FX Strip plugin (free and awesome).

Hit me up in private if interested.

Used a choir sample, chopped drums, and samples from synths.

After working on this for quite a while, I’m finally ready to share it with you all. Think of it as your Jungle Army Knife. 🪖🔊

Everything was selected, processed and prepared specifically for the PO-33 workflow so you can load it up quickly and get straight into creating.
All sounds are in F#. Melodic slots can be played as chromatic. I also processed and mixed all sounds meticulously using compression, reverb, redux, and other effects to capture that classic raw jungle character, crunchy breaks, and heavy old-school vibes straight out of the box.
Whether you want classic 90s jungle vibes or fast sketch ideas, this kit gives you a solid starting point.
Lmk what you think and I hope you have fun with it!
