PO-33 KO! Sample Setup!

[@cjw4381]

Now that's some outside the box type shit. Way to flip the 33 like a boss. You got polyphonic out of monophonic mad props.

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

[@connieindahouse]

This channel is very underrated. Awesome vids man, can’t wait to get mine!

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! Its a fun device.

[@sihargreaves]

@@OllieLoops Ya I'm very surprised you don't have more subs too! Starting a very similar channel up, big ups!

[@OllieLoops]

@@sihargreaves Thanks!

[@JonnyNoNo111]

game changed, thanks for sharing your insight!

[@OllieLoops]

You’re welcome!

[@jayykeyy]

I'm getting a KO because of you! Thank you!

[@OllieLoops]

That’s great. I hope you enjoy your new KO!

[@jayykeyy]

@@OllieLoops Thanks! Would you say it's the best starter PO?

[@OllieLoops]

@@jayykeyy I like the KO. I think it's the most versatile. Sampling allows you to change the sounds of the device, which most don't allow you to do.

[@jayykeyy]

@@OllieLoops Great, thanks for the reply.

[@RaniouIZI]

thanks a lot for the great video quality and the precious advices ! Peace

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks!

[@bigbizz118]

What happens when I use the number 1 slot so many times it says full how to erase everything it sampled and continue using slot 1

[@OllieLoops]

I think you’ll need to delete some or all samples to free up sample memory.

[@bigbizz118]

@OllieLoops yea Was holding the button to thinking I was on the computer had all the time need in reality 40sec 😂

[@MYTHISTmusic]

Wtf bro u said you do each type of drum for one slot and then you did a whole kit all at once haha I love this video tho, really informative

[@OllieLoops]

When you sample into the drum section, it auto chops the sample and assigns the chops to the slots. So, you can sample up to 16 drum hits in the drum section. Additionally, check out my Copy and Paste video. In that video, I show how to assign individual chops within the drum section. I hope that helps.

[@distorson]

hm we should sample sounds played from the PO into the PO? Wouldn't it be much better if you would provide samples via a data file? Of course that would not work in a youtube video, but with a link.

[@F_letc.h]

Doesn’t doing drums the way you’ve described here use up all of your polyphony when creating a song? How can you create a drum pattern with these groupings, and then also add bass, vocals, and a melody?

[@OllieLoops]

It works. Although I don’t know how complicated of a song you can make on the KO. Not sure you could add vocals if you wanted to. That would have to be via another device.

[@TheRockNinja1]

Hi, I just tried your setup (Iphone + dongle and a 3.5mm aux cable) but I cannot get it working. The audio still comes through my phone and the PO doesnt record anything as it doesnt hear it well enough. can yo uhelp?

[@OllieLoops]

It is likely an issue with the dongle. If it happens to be non-apple, then it won’t work. Apple is strict about using only apple made accessories. I would look into the dongle and get it working first.

[@TheRockNinja1]

@@OllieLoops Thanks a lot for the reply, after watching your video I managed to get it working. I used a pin point to clear out dust from the phone as it was obviously something hardware related. Thanks!

[@busterfjohnson]

Damn bro this is a really well produced video. Goals right here

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks!

[@chis5050]

Can you please clarify somewhat what you mean at 3:00? What does the polyphony of other drum machines have to do with putting similar sounds grouped together on this tool?

[@OllieLoops]

On the KO, if you use the drum sound slots as they were designed, they are monophonic. Only one sound can play per step in a sound slot. Say you sample a drum break with a kick, hi hat and snare. You can’t place a kick and hi hat on the same step. But, if you separate the sounds to other sound slots, you can play more than one sound at a time per step. If your kicks are on one sound slot and hi hats on another, now you can have them play at the same time. I hope that clarifies things.

[@chis5050]

@@OllieLoops Ahh ok ok, thx for the quick response! Good video

[@OllieLoops]

@@chis5050 No worries Chris. I realize I said "some drum machines" in the video, but I should have said "some drum machines, like the KO...". I hope that helps!

[@brewhaha99th]

Thanks for the samples !!!

[@OllieLoops]

Enjoy.

[@baleinerenard7629]

Great video, very useful !

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks!

[@vaaksvakuums]

Explain please, you're using only kicks on sound bank 13 all 16 steps? on bank 14 all only snares, 15 hihats 16 rims, claps, etc? Im getting soon PO-33 your suggestion seems really useful

[@OllieLoops]

It will likely make sense once you have the device. But, I'll try to elaborate. Each drum sound slot can hold (16) sounds, say of a drum kit. To program those sounds into the step sequencer, only one sound can be assigned to a step. Therefore, you can't have a hi hat and a snare on the same step from the same sound slot, for example. To get around this, you can build your drum sounds so that all of the kicks are in one drum sound slot, snares in the next, etc. Now you can program the step sequencer of each sound slot independent of the others which allows the sounds to be on the same step. Hope that helps.

[@vaaksvakuums]

@@OllieLoops thank you, it was helpful

[@J.M.Stigner]

hey dude, great videos, really helpful. Quick Q: is there an ideal volume the PO should be on when you record, mine always seem to download very quiet from line in... cheers

[@OllieLoops]

There’s a meter on the record input that appears on the screen. Make sure you’re at about 75% by adjusting the volume on your source.

[@guccihabenero]

great vid but you advise to keep drum sounds separate but at the end you give it to us all jumbled xD

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! The concept that was shared is more valuable than the samples shared. It would have taken too much time in the video to give each grouping of drum samples within the video.

[@OllieLoops]

Hey JB, if you check out our Data Transfer video, you can get the samples and setup from this video.

[@Thebadbeaver9]

Ollie Loops lmaooo i was expecting you to give it to us all organized into groups too but its all good

[@hueysharapova7175]

@@OllieLoops Thank you! A download is exactly what I wanted for a drum kit. I agree with the other comments that its a little weird to make an entire video about grouping sounds and then provide non grouped samples, but you reaponded with the info about the download so no one can complain. I would have preferred to steal someone elses kit this way anyways as it has the proper settings and the sound isnt influenced by youtube or my PCs soundcard.

[@jacobbenson2600]

hey thanks for the quality videos! quick question: when I plug my device in to the po-33 to record your drum samples, it only really captures about half the sounds-- the remainder are very quiet or inaudible entirely. What am I doing wrong?

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! Hmmm, that seems odd. I would recommend running some tests and see if its consistently happening with a variety of sounds. Also, try to test if it does it after so many seconds (ie, 2 seconds, then 4 seconds, then 6 seconds, etc). Try to narrow down the variables to see where the issue is. You may want to contact TE's tech support for more help. There could be something wrong with your device.

[@GoldLionband]

I had the same issue. I've adjusted my computer's/phone's volume to the max, so that the po-33 hears every sample. Sometimes the original is just to quiet for it to hear

[@hueysharapova7175]

Orange background is honestly a nice touch. But why.... why is it in a vice at the beginning???

[@OllieLoops]

Just for fun. Just to hold the device.

[@Anth2nyii]

How to set bpm of sample chop?

[@OllieLoops]

You set the BPM for the beat/song, and when you place each step, the sounds follow the BPM of the beat/song. Otherwise, you can't change the BPM of individual sounds.

[@Anth2nyii]

@ it seem like when I bring audio in and play it, it’s faster than the beat

[@OllieLoops]

@@Anth2nyii Pitch can be adjusted with knob A. Try adjusting that per sound.

[@inventanew]

every time I try to sample it has a hiss to it like nothing is clean?

[@OllieLoops]

The device is relatively lofi. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong.

[@ufopulse]

When I hold sound I see the top and bottom bank lit... I cant follow because of this.. I performed a reset too....:(

[@OllieLoops]

Hmmm. That seems odd. Is there something wrong with your unit?

[@DanCeese]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can I consult you on how my po-33 behaves? Right now, everything's working fine, but some samples either stopped playing or sped up when I started to introduce more and more new samples. No they are not on the same soundbank, so I don't think it's about the banks being monophonic. What is going with my PO-33 and are there any ways to get around it? Any form of advice would be appreciated!

[@OllieLoops]

Hey, thanks for your comment. I'll do my best to try to help. Is it possible that it has something to do with pitch adjustment of the samples? That's the only thing I can think of. Otherwise, I would say it doesn't sound like normal behavior and I would recommend reaching out to TE's tech support.

[@DanCeese]

@@OllieLoops Thanks for the fast reply! I'll recheck the knobs again.

[@georgeantoneac4724]

Is the swing global too?

[@OllieLoops]

Hey, thanks for your comment. Yeah, BPM and Swing are global.

[@josecortez5213]

Does it automatically map samples?

[@OllieLoops]

When you paste a sample into the drum section, it will auto slice it into 16 equal parts. When you paste into the melodic section, it will automatically distribute it into the harmonic minor scale which repeats twice across 2 octaves among the 16 steps. I hope that helps.

[@Tybilth]

Great vid. Big thanks.

[@OllieLoops]

Hey, thanks! Glad you like it.

[@bortsampson9795]

Fantastic

[@Twi66e]

I can’t seem to find a clear answer using google but I did a factory reset and now when I hold down sound and click 5-8 or 13-16 no stock sounds play?

[@OllieLoops]

Hey James, thanks for your comment and question. You’ve come to the right place. The simple answer is that there are no factory sounds on sound slots 5-8 & 13-16. Those slots are intentionally blank from the factory so you don’t have to overwrite the factory sounds. Hope that helps!

[@Twi66e]

Dude thank you so much! I can’t believe I didn’t notice this when I first got it 😂

[@flowforrhythmsonics]

what is the cable named ur using in the end of the video? the white one. Nice video by the way, but you do talk very fast. Will have to watch it a few times to get it.

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks! The white cable is actually just a dongle from the iPhone to an 1/8" jack. Its the basic Lightning to 1/8" accessory that comes with the phone. That's just to get audio out of the iPhone.

[@flowforrhythmsonics]

@@OllieLoops ok cool. to get sound out of a Mac pc or android phone, I guess I would just put the aux directly into where u put headphones?

[@OllieLoops]

@@flowforrhythmsonics yeah exactly. Get a stereo 1/8" to 1/8" cable and plug into the headphone output. Adjust the volume of your source device so its between 60-80% volume level. If your computer has a line level out, that's even better and you won't need to adjust the volume level with that type of output.

[@flowforrhythmsonics]

[@captainofouterspace]

Too fast. Didn't catch it

[@OllieLoops]

Hey, thanks for your comment. And sorry if it was too fast. The concept is fairly straight forward. Keep similar sounds in the same sound slots, ie all kicks together on one slot, all snares on another, hi hats on another, etc. This allows you to filter and adjust parameters per sound slot. It also allows you to create polyphonic patterns on the KO. I hope that helps. Let me know if you if you have any further questions.

[@joshuapaulhawthorne]

Lol give us a shitty monophonic kit after you showed us a better way.

[@jonnyhead]
