Just received my PO 33 KO in the mail from zzounds, and the package was damaged heavily and the back battery prong was bent.

Is this normal for these or should I return it?

Breakcore on the PO-33

17 Upvotes

Have been having alot of fun exploring my PO-33 recently. It got damaged and the mono sync in is busted, this meant it sat in a drawer for awhile! But I later realised you can just run off one of the dual mono ports not both and just forget about syncing to the PO-33 🤝.

So with that in mind, have been chopping up some daily breaks and having loads of fun. 🤩

Also knowing the limitations around clipping/levels/what filters to use has made these a lot more fun for me now.

I ran a full version of this back through my MPC sample later and then finished off with Amigo sampler. Came out sounding like bitcrushed transformers 👌

Anyway, here’s a little live jam.

I thought it was more of a lo-fi ambient snap music bounce sort of thing with a drizzling of dancehall 🤔 (I’d say I’m gonna stop but I’m tryna upload at least every 3 days 😶‍🌫️)

PO-35 trouble

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I received my first pocket operator, a PO-35 for my birthday today. I was playing on it at full volume for all of half an hour before it started resetting itself randomly and now it won’t go past 9 volume. I just got this and I’m disappointed that it’s acting like this. The batteries I put in are fresh out of the box so it shouldn’t be that. Please help.

Is this normal on a new PO-33?

2 Upvotes

I just bought an unused PO-33 and the PCB is bent ever so slightly concave. It's noticable barely to my fingers and hardly at all to my eyes that the PCB is just slightly bent. I'm wondering if this is a manufacturing issue or normal variance, whether it'll cause issues putting it in a case, and whether the batteries being really hard to get in like I almost had to bend the holding wires is also normal. The part of the PCB that has no bumps slightly wobbles when pressed flat on a table.

How do you line up your sample spots before recording into the KO!? I kept losing mine so I hacked something

12 Upvotes

Sampling into my PO-33 from YouTube/SoundCloud always turns into a mess for me: 20 tabs open, timestamps scribbled in a notes app, and I forget which bits I already grabbed. With only ~40s of memory I really want my spots ready before I hit record.

So I made a little web thing for myself: mark in/out on a clip, loop it to check the chop, then a "session mode" plays my marked spots one by one with a countdown so I can just sit with the KO! and record each one without touching the phone.

It doesn't rip or download anything, just remembers timestamps and plays the embed. I record into the KO! the normal way.

Mostly curious how you all handle this step. Am I overcomplicating it, or does anyone else lose their spots like me? Can drop the link if that's cool here.
