PO-33 K.O! Quick Explain + Jam

[@rygelxv]

By watching your videos about these POs, i always get reminded instantly that these are indeed real instruments that you have to learn. I´m totally stunned everytime how effortlessly you make it look to get a good track out of it. It´s an art.

Hi from Koji Seto's video in japan I can't understand what you are saying but this music you made is so awesome

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you, ありがとう〜！

[@AndyTanguay]

I'm shocked how good it sounds from a mic the size of long grain rice! The vocals sounds quite nice on headphones.

[@terrelldunn3973]

I’ve been a drummer for years. Just getting into little synths like this and Volcas. I’m totally clueless about this type of gear. And most tutorials I’ve seen put me to sleep. If it wasn’t for your awesome videos I’d be completely lost! You have a great way of explaining things to people without talking down to them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such an accessible way.

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks mate! Glad I can be of help ❤️

[@alliefdxproductionservices5856]

Finally, a tiny lo-fi sampler! I'd like to see Teenage Engineering build a little sampler in a form-factor slightly larger than the Pocket Operators, with MIDI support and such things. I'd buy a little desktop module that evoked the soul of AKAI and EMU's great lo-fi samplers of old.

[@vincentdelmas2792]

Volca sample or sp 404 bro. but i admit neither is perfect

[@drumatic]

I've asked them repeatedly to do just that... to no avail. They are unresponsive on IG and TWITTER... even e-mails don't warrant a reply from their reps. If they could take the chips from their best PO's and build a small desktop sampling drum machine, it'd be game over. With MIDI you could control using any pads you'd like. They could call it the SP-1 ?

[@alliefdxproductionservices5856]

Yeah. I understand the philosophy they're going for, but for those of us with slightly more integrated studios it'd be nice to see some stuff with a touch more... integration.

Great fun instrument made even better by the energy and joy put into the presentation. Fantastic work!!

[@munkey360]

Just had to watch this aswell, Smooth. It would be fun to take it outside with nothing on it, and build some cool jams from samples of the world around you.

[@Phlow]

I love your hairstlye, the track and your sunny attitude how you teach and make music. Very entertaining!

Lol thanks mate 🤣

Glad to hear it mate! Thanks!

[@CmdrMic]

One of the GREATEST POs and one of THE BEST inspirational and absolutely bloody brill demos. Dude, amazing talent! Thank You!

Great vid! The PO-33 KO! is an absolute beast! I’ve started making beats with it for my channel and have to say that the ease of sampling is unrivaled!

Hey True Cuckoo, hello from Ukraine! A friend of mine sold me KO-32 Tonic and recommended you video about this drum machine as the best content to learn how to use it. Having watched your video I find myself that Tonic is always in my hands)) Now I watch this video about K.O. and I know what sampler I will have. You are the coolest observer! Thank you for your work and creativity.

[@desmondsparrs]

maaan! this groovebox seems so damn fun to play around with! Im looking for a pocket sized, fun music machine, this video sure makes a good argument for this one!

[@eternalvoid2678]

Wow, that sounds way better then I expected :O ! It's almost what I'm looking for, expect that you can't trigger samples from an external source (I realize that wouldn't be feasible in this form factor, so I don't blame them).

[@fuzbeats]

love when the bass kicks in on 2:44 and the smile on his face ^^

[@RemyGold]

Amazing...looks like you just woke up from your winter hibernation synth cave :)

[@moozsar]

I'm rewatching this from time to time for the good vibes:)

[@daganmusic]

This was great, I've watched probably ten different videos on the K.O. and this was by far the most enjoyable and I learned a lot too!

[@noelchrisjohnbenson8161]

ending up getting one of these with a couple of volca's on ebay, it just came with the volcas. I left off on an akai with the hard discs you put in, that was getting fun and was cut short, but this thing is freakin neat!! Plus the guy doing the video reminds me of someone I'd talk to first at a big party where I didn't know anyone, just like "he looks cool, wonder what he's up to" lol, great vid!!

[@di2R-music]

Everything you touch turns into a "crazy" piece of music in no time! Great fun watching you do your stuff each time.

[@Braunschweiger1984]

Great as always, Cuckoo. It was great to hear you sing Poor Leno.

[@MattGreerMusic]

I'm a little late to the KO party but I recently snagged one and I can't leave it alone. Have been using POs since the first gen series but this one is on a whole new level. Astounding to me what they packed into this tiny machine. Curious to Cuckoo or anyone else who's had one for a long time now. Do you still use it? Found any "secret weapon" features in there?

[@grizzlytjp]

This is nuts! Really awesome! If Cuckoo was an instrument this would be it :-)

[@LizaLavolta]

I just got mine and hearing your jam makes me hopeful and inspired !

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks. Keep it up 👊🏼

[@lundsweden]

Im going to go out there and say it, as much as I like the pocket operators, this sampler is not really that cheap! I'm not saying they are expensive, but a Korg Volca Sample seems a much more robust bit of gear, I like the xox style programming too and 8mb RAM and MIDI sync. It also comes with a case, you don't have to buy it seperately! The thing I like about this P.O is the chromatic sampling, inbuilt mic with fast inspired workflow featuring autoslicing! I am considering buying the P.O-33 and syncing it to the Korg via the sync cable (with Korg under DAW MIDI master control).

[@SFAERSOUNDS]

One of your best jams of all time and a very interesting release from TE!

[@joellebrodeur1015]

Ordered one to fuck around with at work during breaks and hash out ideas. Never played around with synths, so figure I give myself a new tool to play with.

[@unfoldersarrangements]

Cuckoo (or anyone familar with this instrument) Do you have the ability to record the action of changing the tone of a sample on the K.O! ? Does this question make sense? In the same way you can do on the Volca FM when changing some parameters.

Hi Cuckoo! Thanks for the review! Do you know what sample rate does the PO-33 and PO-35 use for recording samples? I couldn't find any information about it.

[@Gunzee]

I only just got this but it's bloody damaged in transit. I can just about play about with it. I quickly learned one trick, at the start when you record. If you copy it over to drums it will split according to time. Instead of recording straight to the drum section where it does automatic split.

Hi again Cuckoo, how do you get that nice sound quality with the OP-33? I love the sound it produces, also over headphones, but once I record it into an Ableton Audio Track it sounds pretty boring. Could you share your process?

[@hoodooanimations6694]

With the 33, is it possible to use effects on incoming audio before it is sampled? Or are the effects only useable on samples?

[@maxhaggberg8713]

Hi! That was an interesting question! I tried it on my po-33 and sadly no... Would have been awesome if it did!

[@eulenmann]

This beat is so beautiful!

[@ОстеопатияЭто]

I purchased a PO-33 about 7 months ago. But a few days ago, for no apparent reason, it stopped turning on. I found him with a completely dead screen and couldn't resuscitate him. I did everything that is written on the manufacturer's website, but it did not give any results. I began to study this issue and it turned out that this is a common problem faced by po owners, it just stops turning on for no apparent reason. As far as I understand there is some error in the design or program. I wrote to the support service of teenage engineering, to which they replied to me that they could not replace my tool and could not repair it. They sent me a list of components so that I could order them and repair them myself. This is strange. Because absolutely nothing happened to PO, it just lay idle for a few days, and stopped working. If even the specialists of teenage engineering can't fix this flaw (judging by how often PO owners face this problem), why do they offer to fix it for me on their own? Then they stopped replying to my messages. I was very disappointed. I paid $ 90 for a piece that didn't even work for half a year. I was refused replacement, technical support, and no response at all. And the output sound of this thing is really shitty.

[@JohnNoirSmith]

I was like "yeah, Pyramidsounds sounds great and all, but everything's so expensive to import to Norway", and then all of a sudden you tell me they're located IN Norway?! Gotta check them out, man! Thanks! (And it was really cool of you to pay homage to Røyksopp as well)
