PO-33 DEADLY chopping hack! (Must know beat-making trick)

[@spvidz]

Slight correction - the PO-33 'Drum' pots actually chop 16 samples evenly - not be transient. I'm not sure where I picked that bit of info up 🤔

[@mrssombody]

If u were to play the sample directly in to the drum slots, it will try to chop based on transients

[@ancientwarriors67]

What chords to use for plugins? and what are the names of them?

[@Death_Rave]

I legit just sample all my one-shots individually, gives me a ton more control when it comes to deleting/replacing sounds without having to wipe out a whole kit, I love how there's just an infinite number of ways to go about using this little sampler 😂 epic vid

[@spvidz]

Always interesting to hear different approaches to the same piece of gear 🙌

[@osvos3278]

Works the other way round too, you can take a single sample from one of the drum slots and copy it to a melodic slot, get the chromatic scale for like hihats or snares or whatever. Useful if uou want to filter or tweak an individual drum hit from a kit. but I'm sure you know that already... peace..

This is most straightforward description of chopping/slicing with the PO-33 I've seen on YT.

🙌🙏

[@TheBusinessCasual]

Absolutely solid; no frills, all skills. Thanks!

[@xxjoshbrownxx]

I think moving a melodic to a chopped slot slices on timing dividing into 16 even times, I have the po-133 which might be different

[@spvidz]

Yeah it does. Not sure why I thought it was transient…

[@Hakucho64]

@@spvidz as a previous commenter said, if you record directly into a drum slot, it does chop the sample at the transients. It's only when copying from a melodic slot to a drum slot that it chops into equal lengths.

[@D.Jr47]

Awesome workflow! Resampling onto your SP gives it a much more natural sound as well. There's nothing like the vibe of human performance. I've been doing the same thing

[@Sound-Sight-Sense]

Got to try that out tonight ~!~ gracias

[@rouport]

Love you spvidz! I hate to say that Ricky Tinez did it first. PO33 is really popping off again though I’ve noticed and I’m all here for it!

[@spvidz]

Dibiase showed me

[@rouport]

@@spvidz Oh no shit haha I wonder who actually did it first then

[@spvidz]

Yeah no idea!

[@Jamespicot]

What is the difference between this method and recording directly onto slot 9-16?

[@Nytra_]

Late reply, but recording to slot 9-16 will run an algorithm to find the transients, whereas doing the copy hack splits the sample evenly into 16 chops without doing anything fancy.

[@rorz999]

This is the only worthwhile way to use the drum slots on the PO-33 IMO if you're not using the factory samples. Although I will be honest, since the MK2 got the TR-Rec mode, my PO-33 has been gathering dust!

[@spvidz]

I do still use the drum slots to stack drums and make patterns but im with you…much easier doing that stuff on the mk2. I think I’ll mainly just use the po for sample treatment now

[@vigibeats8415]

Yep! This is the KEY hack!

[@DARKS3IDE]

Yes! Thank you so much! Much love bro. 🙏🏼

[@spvidz]

🙌🙏

[@AcidSh33tz]

will be doing this later on my PO33!

[@spvidz]

Nice. Its a game changer!

[@3_0_3aka8]

thanks mate now i know what happened to my sample :D

[@Ross_Antonich]

I’m putting new batteries in mine as we speak! Great video SP!

[@spvidz]

Nice man! Such a fun little device

[@Ross_Antonich]

@@spvidz absolutely!

[@wiggesobk]

Nice video. I use this all the Time.

[@spvidz]

Yeah it’s my favourite bit when you send a sample to drum and it does it’s thing!

[@paradisepaddy]

Just got one of these. It's unreal, thanks for sharing the info. Is there like some cheat sheet documentation for this thing maybe? 👍🏻

[@spvidz]

Mine came with one. There is info on their website

[@Guacamole1000]

Love that tip! That mix of Po-33 and MK2 is dangerous!! By the way how are you liking those V-Modas?

[@spvidz]

Not as comfy as my monitor headphones but the sound is actually really nice

[@alecsbuga]

It slices in 16ths. Like the OP1 and OPZ. It doesn’t do transient detection. I don’t know why everyone says that.

[@spvidz]

Yeah you’re right. I’m not sure how I wrongly learned that but makes sense that it’s 16 even chops

[@freezerman5871]

Not chopping on transients. The PO just chops the sample in 16 identical slices.

[@AxelR.W]

King!

[@spvidz]

🙏🙏🙏

[@DS-fj8fh]

Can u solo tracks when tracking out so u can mix later or nah

[@SonicVibe]

This is the best trick indeed for the ko 33 some editing needed though per chop what sucks is they stopped selling the pocket operators on the teenage engineering website

[@into.cassette]

woaw! 🔥🥶🔥

[@CNTRRNDM]

Isn't the PO-33 just amazing?😁

[@spvidz]

Yes 🙌

[@legendsflashback]

8 12 or 16 bit at 26khz?

[@spvidz]

8 I think. There isn't too much official information about it - www.reddit.com/r/pocketoperators/comments/bftz3m/question_what_is_the_po33_ko_bitdepth_and/

[@legendsflashback]

@@spvidz ahh thx

[@DJ_Rambo_NZ]

Why is there a need to copy and paste? Why not just sample directly into 9?

[@youtubesentmehetr1088]

Righ o govnah! We gonna make chunes like they do in the states then, innit!

[@hamboiga420]

Guess it’s time to dust off the old po-33

[@spvidz]

Never a bad time to do that ✨

[@switcheezy]

You were a fool to let it sit long enough to collect dust to begin with
