Another Excellent PO-35 Feature!

[@Hakucho64]

Wow FreeBeat, today you taught me that if you play a sound legato, the note changes without retriggering the sound. Cool!

[@cresshead]

yeh i just noticed that VERY useful

[@brianmadison6623]

As always your enthusiasm is genuine and your experimentation is inspiring. You ain't fancy, but your content is better for it and some of the best content available on KZbin.

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you so much! 😁

[@CNTRRNDM]

The PO-35 was my first pocket operator and I still use it like everyday!!! Such an amazing piece of technology!!!

[@FreeBeat]

How did you find the learning curve picking up the po-35 first?

[@CNTRRNDM]

@@FreeBeat haha, well I would say it was a rather steep one because this little device is so much different from any other piece of gear I owned back then...and, to be honest, it took me quite some time to actually discover the secret menu🙈 nevertheless, I'd say it took me about a week or so to figure out how this AMAZING piece of technology works! And the cool thing is, there's seemingly always something that you didn't know about, right? I mean, I just learned that you can use the Microtonic to swap out drum kits! This is incredible!!!

[@LihaiZheng]

What an absolutely fantastic, informative and inspiring video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so much appreciated

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@yoemichelp_yoe]

Very inspiring. Thank you for your enthusiasm

[@FreeBeat]

Anytime :D

[@alitna]

Wow, that is so much fun! I’ve been thinking about buying the Roland Aira E-4, but this one sounds so much better although the Aira strictly speaking is more advanced. I really hope Teenage Engineering will refill their stock!

This will be the second PO I want to get (after the PO 20) thanks for your vids. They are inspiering and entertaining

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you so much!

[@returnofthegoth2220]

Omg that sounded like an 80s dance jam!😂💗

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@BlackCelica]

Great video, awesome little track. Small correction for you, only slots 1-15 record via mic, slot 16 is exclusive for the single channel microtonic drums on the PO-35. Keep up the great content!

[@FreeBeat]

Correct :)

[@Hakucho64]

@@FreeBeat you might want to make that correction in your video description ...

[@rookmaster7502]

Very interesting! Recently I've been thinking about trying something like this with my PO-35. Your video has given me some further ideas on how to get started. Thanks!

[@FreeBeat]

Right on, have fun jamming!

[@nickpritchard7130]

This is by far your most entertaining vid. Touching on Kraftwerk type music.Please make a 3 min track. Incredible stuff, well done.!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@baltimega]

That's crazy I never realized that. I need to delve more into the 35. The circuit rhythm only has 3 mins and 40 seconds per track

[@FreeBeat]

I bet the speak and the new circuits would actually pair up pretty well!

[@KlausRockwell]

I think that the 35 is the most complex PO to use. It keeps revealing unthought of possibilities the more you work with it over time. I just wish you could have the samples/synthesis play beyond the trigger pattern into a subsequent pattern.

[@FreeBeat]

I agree, it's definitely the most complex. I also agree about wanting sounds to carry over to new patterns haha. That's the one feature I wish it had. Thanks for watching!

[@wiggesobk]

Very nice tip! 2 minutes sampling time is really nice! I think if you let a blank pattern playing it doesn't preview the sound when you switch between those two sounds.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching as always!

PO-35 : $99 Synthstrom Deluge : $900 FreeBeat’s jam : Priceless

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

Just for kicks, after watching this, I’ve had the speak laying around for a while, so I ran it thru my Boss VE 20, it may seem redundant since the VE does everything this does, but sample, I guess in a way it does because it loops, but anyhoo I ran it through the harmonized, yes, an army of robots! It’s not useful for making music but was fun! Lol another great video! Ty Peace

[@FreeBeat]

Right on, sounds like an awesome jam!

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

@@FreeBeat I wouldn’t call it a jam, more like a robot choir, lol. You know what I’d like to see you do? A review of the Zoom mixer! I’m using an old 16 track fostex and am considering updating, I would appreciate it and I’m others would be interested.

[@hireality]

This was truly fun and sounds awesome F.B. 🙂 You get me ever so closer to finally buy the Speak PO-35 (like you did with the excellent Elektron Model:Cycles). please include your Sweetwater affiliate link if you have one. Shine on✨

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you so much! Unfortunately I don't have any Sweetwater affiliate links, just the Amazon ones.

[@markwoodson2020]

Pro Tip: when recording low voices(male) use the hidden low recording level. It's set automatically to high.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@Hakucho64]

For the curious, it's enabled by pressing [record]+[FX]+7 until the display says "lo - r".

[@snowprint]

Man Daft Punk really changed after the breakup. (Great vid btw!)

[@FreeBeat]

Hahaha thanks!

[@inwex8350]

Crazy that it has 2 minutes of rec time. I'm wondering if it has more memory than the others or the sample rate is lower. Sounds freaking awesome, especially with your deluge trk. Damnit, now I want one.

[@FreeBeat]

I'm not exactly sure how it works, all I know is that it's awesome haha. Thanks for watching!

[@zachariahpoltergeist4516]

It's because it's not a true sampler. It doesn't store digital audio samples, which take up a large amount of space, but rather the "outline" of the sound for the synth engine to recreate. Kinda like MIDI info vs audio files.

[@Hakucho64]

Could you also sample the PO-35 into the Deluge and use that to pitch it up/down, stutter it, etc?

[@FreeBeat]

Absolutely, I'll probably do a video about that in the future, this one was just a showcase for the po-35 :)

[@Getthenderson]

You can actually choose the notes on the deluge also (multiple notes at the same time in real time).

[@FreeBeat]

Right, but this video was all about showcasing the po-35 :)

[@XuongTranTrieu]

I've been looking for this piece in heavens and hells, it's kind of out of stock everywhere 😢

[@XuongTranTrieu]

it's just in stock, like yesterday, and I cannot be more happy

[@Larryco1]

Can you play samples this way with po 33 ??

[@Larryco1]

I mean playing different notes during a sample ?

[@ukbloke28]

@@Larryco1 Can the PO33 play a sample chromatically? Yes.

[@sidneiribeiro3883]

The 8 key does not work 🤔
