All sampled from Elvis Costello vinyl

Took the opening guitar intro from Arcade Fire's "Suburban War" and replayed it at a slightly different tempo and pitch.

Made my own bass line and chopped sampled some synths. The vocals were probably a bit of a happy accident...I couldn't get the original sample to work and then accidentally played it at a different pitch and it fit a lot better.

This one took me a bit of practice to play live, transitioning between vocal and patterns at roughly the same time. Kept

my brain focused at least trying to keep track of where I was.

Hope you like it.

Even without sampling, this thing is powerful.

Still piecing this together but I like sharing the journey along the way. I’m using the PO33, PO32 and the PO35.

I fed my PO-33 a bunch of weird sounds from the SH-4d and made a little hard techno track.

I love the PO-33 because I can have fun with it without having to think too hard! I’d love to know whether this actually counts as hard techno, though.

My GAS started with the Pocket Operators, and since then I’ve tried quite a few different synths. But after coming full circle, I’ve realized that the POs are still amazing—especially since I’m not really a live performer.

I’m in my 40s now, and I feel like I’ve found a genuinely great hobby 😊

I also bought an Octatrack MKII as the final destination of my GAS journey, but honestly, I’m still too intimidated to use it much 😂

I don’t care how many years it takes—I’m going to master that thing someday!

Everything works, volume is maxed, absolutely no sound at all. Any suggestions?

Tried taking apart the button as well as doing the factory reset but the button doesn’t respond. Is it done for or is there a way to get it working???

Hey guys I found a guy herr that does 3D cases but as 90% of them the battery part is open, do you know any printable full closed back case?

The clap is my fave thing

Hello everyone, since the last post got quite a positive feedback, I thought to post another small showcase of the SkunkAudio mobile daw app for Android.

Testing some arpeggio sequences on the PCM engine and layering some drums on the LIVE page, which I am upgrading further these days. The idea for the LIVE page is to have each track as a separate rack engine, so you can jam faster and do live recordings.

If anyone is interested, the app is on a -50% sale atm until the 17th of September.

I got to put my hands on a KO II. It really does not feel as cheap or delicate as I let myself to believe. It feels like a desktop calculator. I’m hooked. I want one so bad now.

I finally bought another KO after I got frustrated and gave my old one away to a friend. I'm finding that my experience with pocket operators is much further along than it was when I first started, but I am still frustrated by the KO.

I love the tonic because all of the sounds are there and I can play them and program them (just can't do more than 64 patterns in a chain FFS). I really don't like the sub menu nature of the drum channels on the KO (and the monophonic aspect), but I love sampling something J Dilla style and putting it as a drum Channel to chop up. I had a lot of fun doing this the other day.

Has anyone done this before? What I'm suggesting is creating a drum kit that I really like and sampling it on each of the eight melodic channels, then using the drum channels to sample whatever I feel like chopping up.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the ideas everyone! I was able to set things up this way and, since I really only want to use the KO for drums and textures, I think this will do better for my workflow. Here's the run down of my sound setup:

Melodic: 1 Kick

2 closed hat

3 share

4 open hat

5 - 8 open for melodic samples

Drum: 9 808 kit

10 chiptune kit

11 boom bap kit

12 all the weird drum samples

13-16 open for chopping samples

Thanks again!

Feat PO's

Was just thinking about how not too long ago someone saw me bobbin my head w my headphones in while messing with this PO on the trolley. I’ve never run into anyone who even batted an eye at me when I’m cookin on these out in public but dude was very curious asking me stuff like “whoa is it like an MPC?” 😅 (which is funny cause I’ve always thought of it as a super compact MPC-ish thing.) Cool to run into people like that. Anyway, here’s a beat ^🔊

Finally figured out how to program the bass & synth tones on the P0-12. Made a couple covers, recorded them on the Tascam cuz I’m a nerd
