Pocket Operator Songwriting!

Pocket Operator Songwriting!
Today, I'm going back to basics with some Pocket Operator songwriting! The PO-33/133 is an incredibly fun and versatile device, and in this livestream I'll go over my basic approach to using it to make a full(ish) song. Enjoy the stream :)

Gatta work soon, woke up earlier but tuning in lol The bagpibe thing 11:55 was cool. I wonder if sick vs ill is a American English Vs British English thing 🤔 With the warmth coming, who doesn't take 10 showers a day? Who are you to judge people who live under showers during the summer?! Unsubscribe! I'l take my PO-33 with me, got a hour to wait in the wilderness anyway so so might as well work on that beat for the show! Who doesn't love the octave up/down? It's legit one of the best FX in the existence of FX's x') 27:35 damn that's good. *Skipping though* 16patterns is rough. Or should I say 16 bars of patterns is rough. *Okay skipping to the end* Yep freebeat live 2024, Circuit tracks or Po-33 incoming >:D I could see a double time hype section with those patterns ! 1:01:12 for full song (cool stuff)

Hello! I wonder if I can use the same key combo you use to sample drum kits slots, to get new sounds on the PO-35. Do you think is possible?

[@FreeBeat]

That won't work, the PO-35 handles recorded audio in a completely different way :)

[@yoemichelp_yoe]

I see that. I tried and didn’t work ;) but I have another question for you if you don’t mind.: I struggle to recognize which sound is which after all the slots are occupied on the edit mode for the drums .. I tried slowing the bpm but it does not work for me… All this on the context of making a variation of a pattern after being copied to a new slot to do so.

[@FreeBeat]

Sorry I'm not sure I'm understanding what you mean

[@yoemichelp_yoe]

@@FreeBeat let’s say you have a pattern and sounds awesome. Then you copy the pattern to another slot because you want to make a variation of it . When I got to edit mode all I see is all led lights are lit… and when I start deactivating and activating back I loose track of which slot I used for certain sound. I would say, how do you remember that this particular slot is this sound, and this slot is another one;))🫣
