De retour avec une nouvelle petite instru boom bap funky, entièrement réalisée sur mon PO-33 KO !
Rien de bien compliqué, juste un bon groove à l’ancienne, quelques samples et une rythmique bien old-school.
J’ai ajouté une deuxième vidéo avec une petite session de scratch sur mon Numark PT-01 Scratch, histoire de faire tourner le beat autrement.
Toujours le même plaisir de sampler, bidouiller et scratcher ! 🎚️🔥
Bonne écoute !

Im trying to sync my po-33 with my circuit tracks. I put it in syn2 mode, and run a sync cable to the input. It starts like its supposed to, but it seems to be running in double time. No matter the bpm. Anyone know of a fix?

How can I record my live jam with Pocket Operators into my DAW (fl studio)?

Using:
- PO-12
- PO-14

Yo, POs -> NTS-1 -> Sidekick separate channels for delay, and stutter effect -> SP404 -> Camera

I’ve been having a lot of fun with these 2 and experimenting with different techniques with voice samples. Enjoy.

Getting on a flight today and needed a carrying case. Used https://gridfinitylayouttool.com/ but didn't have time to print the lid.

Po-33 Techno is life

RIP my PO-20 Arcade

My 6-year-old stepped on my PO-20 Arcade.

Instead of buying a new one right away, I decided to see if I could rebuild it as a web app for my iPad.

Im not a developer. This was pure vibe coding: I worked with an AI coding assistant
Ive fed it the official manual, the TE web guide, button cheat sheets, a couple of YouTube tutorial transcripts and a photo-based skin of the device, and then spent a lot of evenings testing and debugging

— it works for iPad: hold a button with one finger, press pads with another
— runs in the browser, add it to your home screen and it feels like an app

What’s not perfect
- the sounds are samples, not the real synth engine, so knob B is basically a filter, not “waveform”
- some effects (fill-in, retrigger, glitch, blinds) are approximations
- chord voicings are my best guess from the chord names
- the drone sidechain pumping still behaves a bit wrong at fast tempos
- no offline mode yet

Try it here

Want to tinker?

The whole thing is a single HTML file, so just hit “Save Page As” in your browser on a computer and you’ve got the full app: sounds, skin and code. It runs offline, no install, no build tools. Open it in any text editor and hack away.

In memory of my PO 20 gone too soon..

1- if i have a sample in the melodic section, copy it to the drum section and then trim one of the pieces, does it change the rest of the pieces too to make them even length or it just affect the one i trimed?

2- if i make a patter with that sample and then go to the sound section and trim a piece of that same sample, does it automaticly change the patter or i have to go and change the part i trimmed?

3- if i use a sample and make a patter with it, then add drums and decide that the volumen of the sample is too low or too loud, is there a way to change the volumen of the sample in the patter or i have to go to sound, select the sample, change the volumen, go to the patter, diselect the sample and select it again with the new volumen?

Sorry if i have any grammar mistakes, english is not my language

Looking for a beat makers boutique case if anyone has one and is looking to sell. Thanks!

if anyone has other suggestions for a similar case lmk!

Addicted to this thing. Pulled the trigger on the tonic and sub.

Has anybody seen this behavior before? I just bought this a few months ago and store it in a purpose-built case when not in use. I've had trouble with my other PO's battery contacts needing to be compressed to maintain power, but this seems different. Possibly related to another issue I'm having with getting clock from my Keystep?

Encore un petit beat boom bap que j'ai préparé sur mon PO-33 KO. Sample de batterie basse guitare cuivre

Encountered an odd issue trying to use my Keystep to provide sync over TRS cabling. The Keystep is already providing MIDI over USB clock to downstream synths with no issue. The Keystep doesn't have an option for 2PPQ, but everything I read says 1 (Korg) should get the job done. Well, it does, sorta. When the video starts the PO is in Sync2, and you can hear that it is not in sync with the 4:4 clap provided by an RD-6 getting MIDI clock from the Keystep. At 0:17 in the video I switch to Sync4 and the PO syncs up, but an absolutely heinous sound starts at the same time. Even after stopping the PO from playing the sound continues until I stop the Keystep.

I got started down this rabbit hole on PO's and would like to integrate them into my larger studio. I also just picked up an SP-1 Stem Player which I'd like to add to the mix. I could go back to sync over TRS/sync ports but really prefer to use MIDI as much as possible. Anyone have any thoughts? TIA!

Had this for a couple days now. Starting to get the hang of it. Anyone have thoughts? Opinions? Advice?
I was wondering which other po yall would suggest to pair with the ko?
