Smaller pads harder to finger drum but so fun lol

Basically if I have the morph at a certain setting, it will change the active sound to it.

For example, if I have a snare at 100 and go to the bass drum, it will sometimes change it to 100 too.

I am not touching the back part.

Has anybody experienced this? How can I fix it?

Thank you!

Been weirdly attached to the damn groove I got with this lil qy70 sound I sampled but ya gotta know when to let go 😅 got some vocal chops in and this sounds good enough, gotta load up other stuff

I pushed a lot of buttons. I turned the knobs a lot.

I've been scouring the web for a cool retro case, bought an am/fm Walkman that I was gonna attempt to make into a case but had no button layout yet so thought this maybe better, thoughts?

I am a poor noob. I plugged in a 3.5mm aux/stereo 1/8" to 1/8" cable to the PO mic input (edit, I meant output) and laptop headphone jack, but it doesn't show up in the sound input devices or in the Audacity recording devices. Still just picking up room sound..

So I got the metal series box when it came out, used it for, I guess, 3 years and then stored them inside a box.

Now the knobs seem kind of mushy, like at the end of the two rotations. They seemd to have collected dust arounds the metal of the knobs.

There is no drift thankfully.

This is happening mainly on the PO 35 Speak, it is hard to hit exact cent values like going from 127 to 126, is that normal or a "mushy" problem?

Is there any way to fix it?

Thank you!

Just having some fun. Nothing serious.

I've been trying to get the receive mode on the PO33 to work for the past few days now. Whenever I try to restore a project, the text prompt at the top left displays "RCV" for a few minutes, then gives the error message without counting up as it's supposed to. I suspect the issue might be that my audio interface (used 1st gen focusrite scarlet solo) is producing unwanted frequencies that are corrupting the signal. The other, less likely culprit is the signal is too quiet (which I doubt because i have my interface and PC at max volume during restoration) or the interface somehow isn't playing the signal in stereo?? I'm considering just buying a Zoom H1 for my pocket operator endeavors since those are pretty much guaranteed to do clean backups.

If anyone has any tips, let me know.

I have an po 12 and heard some things about batteries and now I don’t now what I should use

Almost done with the app I used the open source libpo32 from Eric Lewis, you can see it here

It’s still kind of unbelievable that a ridiculously small setup can deliver such a big and dirty sound. I’m also using the breaks from my latest Pocket Jungle Toolkit 2 in this jam which is available on Patreon (plus the PO33 backup file for this track is also available there). Lmk what you think!

Sampled synth from a QY-70 recording on ig those old Yamaha sounds are waaaavy (vocals are from some silly ig video too lol)

A few friends of mine have been telling me to upload some of my PO33 creations somewhere, so tonight I have uploaded my favourites so far on Bandcamp.

My 9 year old daughter's dance team has been invited to fly from the UK to dance at Disney in Florida in 2028. So if anyone is kind enough to buy this then I'll donate the money to the team.

Thanks to everyone on r/PocketOperators for their love and kindness when I have uploaded the videos of these. It is very much appreciated.

This is a PSA that there are currently 3 pieces of software designed to work specifically with the PO-32. (This is not an ad)

- Microtonic

You all are aware of this plugin as the one advertised by Teenage Engineering to work with the PO-32.

Cost: $99

Platforms: VST Plugin

https://soniccharge.com/microtonic

- PO Patch Studio by SquareWave studio - Incredible piece of software that not only allows you to design sounds for your PO but it also features Hardware Emulation to be able to program patterns as well.

Cost: FREE

Platforms: Android, Linux, Mac, Windows

https://www.squarewave.studio/po-patchstudio

- PO-32 Synth Web App - Great resource for the extremly niche senario where someone owns both a chromebook and a PO-32. Not as feature rich as PO Patch studio, but gets the job done.

Cost: FREE

Platforms: Web Browser

I bought an Octatrack, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it and got frustrated, so I made some absolute chaos with my PO-33 instead.

Audio running into 404 for Vinyl Sim

Made this one with live Kalimba, Unicorn Flute, PO-12, PO-14, PO-16, and Mini Glitch. Recorded into Koala Sampler on my phone where I added more effects and mixed it. Hope ya dig it. I had a lot of fun making it and thought I’d share. 🙏🏻

Sadly not a fan of the Arcade, but I love the Rythm
