Easy Sample Chopping on the PO-33

Today, I'm going to attempt to make a dope house beat with just the PO33 KO! Aka, the Pocket Operator Knock out and some samples from Tracklib. I'm going to slice and dice the samples to create some unique rhythms and add a little bit of flavor with some 3rd Wave Synth. Digging through Tracklib's massive library, I'll show you the drum sample I found that caught my ear. Next, I'll bring in a bit of 3rd Wave Synth to create the lead line. I'll sample that into the PO33 and start layering it with my drums. Lastly, I'll slice up some more samples and start layering them on top of everything else. And that's it! With just a single pocket operator you can make some seriously dope beats. But of course, this comes with my one gripe with Pocket Operators.. Exporting.. I hope you enjoyed this video and learned something new.

[@TuzXMr]

What a throwback, PO-33 was how I first discovered your videos

[@mattierenton701]

me too, Im slowly building a live setup and was a toss up between the volca sample and this, but the PO feels a lot more immediate ( for obvious reasons !!)

[@shadynasty6393]

Same

[@jay.rhoden]

Yep, searching these devices was how I found this channel as well.

[@GreatistheWorld]

Love the KO vids every once and a while. Like Bob Ross taking a break from painting to sketch for a bit, it’s just as nice, a little more chill, lets you see those sound fundamentals at work

[@pwnisher]

Love your vibe and jams so so much! Also your production quality is off the charts. Much love!

[@RickyTinez]

Yo thanks! Much love to you and the knowledge you give too!

[@raulgorgulio9834]

Awesome beat! I love the simplicity of PO's workflow, sometimes it feels more inspiring than expensive gear with all those bells and whistles. Would love to see more PO-33 videos on your channel in future!

[@cavalettibnu3488]

PO-33 videos ar the beeesssst! thx for this and GIVE US MOREEEEE

[@marlondaniels7912]

I thumbs up these videos as soon as I start watching cos I know I'll inevitably enjoy your fun filled approach to making music with funny little boxes.

[@AndrewPRoberts]

Just when I start pulling my PO33 back out again, here you are

[@jp1527]

Your PO videos are the best!

[@DarylSpeedman]

Dood I just got a po-33 and have been watching your beginner videos from 4 years ago. Stoked to see you still making tutorials for it all this time later. Thanks!

[@locotek]

This sounds great!

[@mattierenton701]

yay Ricky T love your passion, been thinking about getting a PO-33 for a while and your deffo swaying me. Keep doing what you do bro, love your work

[@gdd9]

Great video once again bro, I always pick up new tips for the PO each time I watch one of these! Salute

[@alldimer]

Got recommended one of your older videos two weeks ago and had to finally pull the trigger on one. It's been blast messing around with it and I'm always looking forward to the new uploads on them!

[@tinysoundmachine]

Nice prod! Love the flow of the tutorial too ♥️ Hope you make more of these

[@poco_a_poco_music]

I just bought the po133 and have been soaking up content including your vids. This could not have dropped at a better time.

[@RobinMBeatz]

Waiting for my PO 33 to come in. I’ve watched so many videos I feel like I already know how to use the thing haha. Keep up the great work!

[@djhaloeight]

super dope

[@goldenstarmusic1689]

Your videos on the PO-33 have been invaluable.

[@dygbi]

Love a PO video.

[@bebussound7991]

Ive been doing this with my PO, its so much fun

[@CNTRRNDM]

Dude! I love the PO-33 so much! You know, Fatboy Slim once said, "Everybody needs a TB-303," yeah, true but honestly, times have changed and so I'd love to rephrase this…"Everyone needs a PO-33". This little device is so versatile and makes it so easy to create beats on the go! It's crazy🤯

[@CNTRRNDM]

@@artisans8521 yup, you're right! Koala is amazing! Have you tried Andrew Huang's Flip Sampler?

[@the_dan]

Exactly! The POs, especially the 33 is the perfect gateway for beginners, like me, now I'm hooked! Koala is great, but I miss some features that the PO has, so that's why I mostly use it synced together, perfect combo 😅 Also thank you for your sample packs for the 33, they've been a godsend for learning and experimenting with my 133♥

[@CNTRRNDM]

@@the_dan so glad to hear that, mate! It really means a lot to me!!!

[@DJCJ999]

I really need to work with my PO's more.. inspirational stuff dude!

[@crowsynth]

Heeeey I love these, it's been a while!

[@-thetapestream-channel1808]

love your videos,,,,cheers from Italy! btw you can set the volume in perf mode write +volume while play

[@jesusfish_]

Compact creations!

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Yeah this definitely needs the tag!

[@coffeetableworkshop8557]

The lead sounds so good on the pocket operator! I also wish the PO33 could solo the same way as the PO32 especially since I use them together so often.

[@davidpinto1195]

back to the good old po-33 videos ;p

[@iancain6647]

My guy!

[@heiner_kruse]

so using one of these tracklib samples means being obligated to write license fee reports for each track to them for the rest of all times? Do I get this right? Can you really recommend this?

[@carlosedp]

Hey Ricky, your videos are amazing and I've learned so much about sampling with it. I'd love to understand a bit more of your setup connecting the PO-33 (or any other device) to your computer for sampling/playback and if you use some app to route audio between inputs and outputs avoiding loopback and so on... Thanks a lot!

[@mastaboog749]

You're back to the crazy wireless headphones again, I noticed the RAD-0 you have been wearing. Pretty sure you been rocking Rosson's. Let a nerd know what you're wearing!

[@mannix8130]

Hey Ricky! Love your videos and the overall energy. I was wondering what synths you find yourself coming back to most often. I think that would be a solid video if you haven’t done it yet lol. Quite the synth selection pick from now for you, would be interested to know what you actually use most :))

[@bubba101010]

13:05 the honeymoon ends.

[@bezvoshchuk]

Compact Creation is back 🎉

[@RickyTinez]

Dmytro thank you!

[@joestephani7959]

Sounds like an arcade fire song

[@PatientRichard]

Always great videos. Seems to have some noise in the background though Mr T?

[@lundsweden]

There's lofi, then there's nofi!

[@jakeh2034]

PO-33 makes the coolest loops, but solo it seems like just a cool tool to allow you to get lost in the sauce for an hour with minimal progress towards anything to publish. I imagine if you built your parts/patterns and then exported instrument parts to an SP-404 or MPC, you could track out easier while still being in the physical zone. Keep finalized parts looping on the SP while also working with the same exact samples on the same work flow. But if you wanna fuck around with drums, delete the drums from the PO-33 timeline after you record those patterns to the SP-404. Keep them looping, but clear up your PO-33 for more work to do while exporting those parts to an easier work flow to track them with. Level up your limitations as you level up the track.

[@Madstubborn]

More po33 please

[@thejamus1978]

Learning so much from you old and newer content! But are those replacement knobs / pots. Do they make trimming easier?

[@ByDylanYoung]

Love the vid and the sounds. Questions what is that dongle coming off the PO-33 in the top right, that I assume is powering the unit? Keep up the great creations.

[@triplenickelniner]

I just got a KO for Christmas. I thought in one of your videos you mentioned you could record a sample in the KO double the speed and then pitch it down to save space. Any help would be great! Love the videos and will soon be buying a headset buddy cord on your recommendation 😊

[@rushdontrun]

It takes time but you can track it out to DAW. Just a load of copy-pasting and removing steps. Make sure you always keep one pattern empty so when you record in you can chain it to another pattern, that way you get perfect loops.

[@falconscott4942]

Help! What do you have coming out of the battery area? Looks like some ribbon cable with 3.5 mm connection??? Thanks

[@pulpero666]

I like to have in one slot autochoped the sample, and on another slot the sliced sample. Then combine in the track

[@JTMS]

I've been seriously debating selling my po33 and now I'm like...hmmm

[@discover902]

Great tip with the melodic sampling! Where did you get the case for your PO? Are you running it off usb power off the top? Thanks for the video!

[@sakoner]

Also interested on knowing where you found your case with power usb

[@GreatistheWorld]

Case is Teenage Engineering’s own CA-X and the usb powered AAs is by ReVolt, they sponsored some of Ricky’s PO-33 videos a few years ago

[@edboymovies]

Hey guys, fairly new to the po-33. I wanted to copy a drum kit from one bank to another bank. I learned it somewhere, maybe here, but I forgot and wanted to know how to do that? gonna write it down to remember

[@amberruby4896]

Anything to do with pos I am here for

[@user-kv4bv8kw6u]

Bro where can I get the samples you have on the PO33

[@jonnyhead]

This is how good I want to be on my po33 but being a parent means my brain is like mashed potatoes most of the time 😶😴

[@descontrolador]

Are you able to make something that doesn't sound really good!? 😁

[@auraglasswerks4900]

You’ve never made a whole track in your whole life😂

[@codypower4298]

What are you talking about

[@sullycliftona]

They look really awkward and dificult to work .. Wtf .. definitely got to much to learn before I start getting into thease little things..
