PO-32 Tonic + Monotron Delay - recorded at Nun cove, Newquay

[@missingreels]

I've released a new album featuring a reworked version of this track. You can stream it on spotify now. open.spotify.com/track/1DpzPWyZVjeRfvA7UUjMgC?si=ANzenid8S4Wss98k2Y6fsg

[@skywatchernorth]

Still the best track made with a PO32 to this day

[@SladeBallard]

It's incredible how we're on an era of technology when you can make great music with stuff that fits on your pockets.

[@CNTRRNDM]

So true!!!

[@Fushikatz]

Harmonicas aren‘t that new though. 😜

[@missingreels]

Haha! Good point

[@louierubio]

Finally a PO beat that sounds like a real track

[@mikeexits]

Yeah, after watching this I kinda regret investing in Volcas and feel like I could do a lot more with the same amount of money if it went into Pocket Operators instead. I guess Volcas have the advantage of MIDI (except the Modular), but Pocket Oprators clearly have superior sequencers with the effects alone. Also wishing my Monotron Delay's input and output ports didn't start breaking only months after buying it new :/ Thankfully it's super cheap, haha

[@Bati_]

I love Cornwall and Aphex Twin-esque beat connection here... Great video!

[@missingreels]

Thanks man! Both Cornwall and the music of Aphex Twin are very dear to my heart.

[@goodatsolitaire]

Fuck's sake, I didn't know the Microtonic could get that lush. That's beautiful mate. I might have to spring for the software after all.

[@Antonio229]

this sounds better than a room full of gear.

[@missingreels]

+Antonio229 haha, thank you! It probably depends who's using that room full of gear though! :)

[@2fu599]

it's actually a chillout electronica masterpiece written on one pocket operator. truly amazing

[@missingreels]

Wow, thank you, that was a really lovely comment to receive :) I'm not sure it's quite a masterpiece but I'm glad you dig it. Thanks for watching.

[@vecvan]

Written in a studio, converted to PO for POsterity infa 💯 not bad at all, but as a FM synth there's nothing much that would differentiate it from Caustic on my mobile ... or even a guitar as far as the melody goes

[@ericpinkman1017]

This is the first video I’ve seen where someone uses a pocket operator and it doesn’t sound corny.

[@noordholland648]

love this

[@hellf.o]

Wow this is awesome! I love that monotron's noisy feedback so much!👍👍

[@missingreels]

Yeah man, the monotron is a crunchy noisy beast. love it.

[@alamunez]

Great idea, the sound of the sea is a good way to drown out the amount of noise coming from the Monotron Delay. ;)

[@missingreels]

Haha! Yep the Monotron sure is a noisy beast.

[@ghostly606]

Batteries, Beats, and the Great Outdoors Part of its lofi charm! :)

[@MattGreerMusic]

Was about to say the same. :)

[@localtechnique]

That's not the sea. It's the Monotron Delay :)

[@josephwright5921]

That’s not noise, it’s “SONIC CHARACTER!”

[@kornel2525]

I love everything this represents and stands for. Such an incredible work of art!

[@missingreels]

Thank you for watching, and thank you for your kind words. ☺

[@user-lf6fb9fj8j]

I come back to this almost daily. So good. Just received my Monotron Delay!

[@missingreels]

Ahh, thank you! I'm glad you like it. I was jamming with my Monotron Delay just this morning. It's such an enjoyable little noise machine to play with. Have fun with yours. :)

[@GreatistheWorld]

I don’t know why there aren’t more channels with this concept. This is exactly what I’d do with these things

[@missingreels]

They make them battery powered after all, so you've got to get out and about them!

[@DECIMA1]

What a great place to play some tunes. It sounds great!

[@doctorlilt]

Couldn't get the entire data file to transfer, but was still able to play with some of your sounds and patterns on my PO-32. Very exciting! Cheers for sharing.

[@RoccoSaviano]

cool!

[@SaEvSampleEverything]

No fkn way, just a tonic & delay...wow

[@buranboy]

💛

[@86davy]

Sick asfuck

[@enoodle]

Cool combo, never thought about the other mini Korg units in tandem with POs. I didn't know the monotron could be sequenced either, I'm a fan

[@DaVeTheWaVe]

Great work

[@missingreels]

Thank you!

[@PocketOperatorGuy]

Woah... I got lost in this. Such amazing tones with this machine. Really deep track.

[@missingreels]

Thank you!

[@kylerogersmusic]

Great jam here. Love the vibes, and the scenery is beautiful and fitting

[@AABattery]

Awesome sounding and beautifully crafted. The tonic is so versatile and fun. Capable of any music style. Well done!

[@missingreels]

Man I love the Tonic. Most of the music I've made this year has involved it in some way! Like you say, it's so versatile and so much more capable than it's small size and cost would suggest. Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad you liked the tune.

[@missingreels]

Oh, and your Oizo cover is awesome by the way.

[@beepb0t]

This is great! I’ve been considering picking up the Monotron Delay and I think you’ve convinced me.

[@missingreels]

It's a really cool little machine, if a little on the noisey side.

[@riffswamp]

Love these! First of all the tones/compositions are great, using such a simple setup nonetheless! I also really like the subtle sounds of the field recordings blending into the background. And finally the sequences of nature shots interspersed create for a rather poetic visual experience! Please keep it up!

[@missingreels]

Thank you Jon. Comments like these make me want to grab some toys, get outside and record a new tune right now (then spend ages ineptly editing it)! :)

[@va941]

Exacto mundo.

[@MatthewStratton]

Really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing!

[@galvosaur]

👏👏👏 the visuals were a cherry on an already incredibly tasty cake my friend wow

[@Jimantronic]

Thank you!

[@vincenzofederico8938]

Wow! I have a monotron delay and in the next days I'll have a PO-32, so this video is a real inspiration for me!

It's just inspiring how much you did with so little. Big up! 👍🤖✋

[@missingreels]

Thanks man! I find that sometimes the tight constraints of simple machines like these can really help breed some creativity.

[@ludwigkopp8130]

Batteries, Beats, and the Great Outdoors I couldn't agree more on that. Like only 8steps can bring a great melody. 👍🤖✋

[@petertelinde130]

the motion of the ocean

[@leekew-moss8969]

Really cool stuff - Its definitely got some Aphex vibes in there when you use the stuttery effects.

[@missingreels]

Thank you! And yeah, guilty as charged, over half my lifetime listening to Aphex has probably rubbed off on me a little bit 😂

[@listentotheanimalscreamsha1511]

This is my favorite.

[@missingreels]

Thanks! This one seems to be a lot of people's favourite. I keep trying to record a proper 'studio' version of it but it never quite captures the same dirty magic of this live take. Oh well.

[@Decoy303]

Just got a monotron delay and nu:Tekt kit today.

[@arcanetwix]

I really, really enjoy this video and i really, really like your soundpack... i wish there would be more soundpacks with Melodic elements in it... great vdeo too btw...

[@missingreels]

Thanks man. I glad you find the sound packs useful. When I get a moment I might throw together a few other melodic sound packs (without time consuming videos) since people seem to be quite in to them. I'll let you know if I do :)

Thanks man! You won't be disappointed with the Tonic it's a beautiful little synth. Just be sure to let Teenage Engineering know who inspired you to pick it up so I can get my commission. ;) Btw I just subscribed to your channel.
