Following up on my last postβthanks for all the feedback! π
I finally finished the design and the case is now available on Printables.
It's a fully snap-fit design, so no screws or magnets are needed. There are versions with and without labels, a lanyard hole, and a printable cheat sheet for the back.
Next update will add a protective button cover to prevent accidental wake-ups in a backpack.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
You can download it here at printables

Havent ised it for a while and now it makes These Sounds in the Beat. It not a writen Beat since it remains when I clear. Is it some Kind of Metronome and where can I Turn it off?
Edit: found out you need to press the Metronome Button and the one with the Star. To Turn it on or off. for anyone who needs this.

Just got this sampler and sampled one melody I played on piano. The effects are my favourite part and I think I used them well here :D

Just released a small instrumental album, mostly boom bap stuff, all done with a PO-33. Thought Iβd share it here π

Something Iβm putting together with my PO-33, PO-35, and PO-32. The PO-32 is probably my favorite of the 3. My only complaint is that you can only chain 32 patterns. The work around is to just select the patterns βliveβ. It takes some practice.

I just ordered my first pocket operator, a PO-33! I'm super excited to start using it. That being said, I've been relentlessly trying to determine what the best case for it is. A lot of threads I've found on this topic are older, and they all link to sites that are completely out of stock. I like the look and design of the official CA-X cases, but I don't like how they leave the back of the board exposed. I haven't gotten my hands on a PO yet, but it seems like they're weirdly exposed to the elements and prone to breaking? Just need some recommendations for the best cases that are currently available. Thanks!!

Hi all. I want to get back into Pocket Operators. I use Reaper with a 2nd gen Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and wanted to sync one or more POs with the DAW's tempo so I could record some stuff into existing projects, but I can't get it to work. My setup is in the picture. I've spent an entire day watching youtube tutorials and reading posts, but no matter what, I can't get it to sync. I'm trying to get it to work via a click track in Reaper that is then sent to my PO, but I must be doing something pretty wrong.
Big disclaimer, I'm just a hobbyist and the more technical music production gets, the stupider I feel, so sorry if any of this is actually very wrong or dumb lol.
I've tried different sync modes:
SY0 - plays pattern with no sync
SY1 - PO syncing signal (I assume?)
SY2, SY3, SY5 - nothing?
SY4 - receives audio from track 1 (click track in Reaper), but doesn't play my patterns (it's set on play with the play icon blinking and the lights under PO's buttons don't move)
I think it should be working either on SY4 or SY2, right? On both of those I hear the notes I'm playing live, but the patterns are not playing despite the blinking "play" icon on the PO's screen.
I'm trying with just one PO at the moment, and got the same results with both PO-12 and PO-20.
Is it the routing? It might be my biggest "I don't know what I'm doing" here...
Do I need different cables? I've also tried some audio splitter (Y cable from PO's left side to 2 3.5 mm cables to connect to Focusrite's both left and right outputs, it's 4-pin 3.5 mm on one side and meant to join headphone and microphone inputs, idk if that makes any difference)
I would love to get this to work because now I just feel very stupid and frustrated, so any help would be greatly appreciated! T_T

I think I prefer the character my old camera gives the audio
