PO-33 Teenage engineering - Sampled hiphop beatmaking

[@RedMeansRecording]

so dope

[@21madeit]

Red Means Recording Are you planning on making a video on this and the 35?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Studio21Prod. Yes! Eventually

[@wilmerparis2202]

that stop motion intro is beautiful! good stuff! :)

[@MickBenjamins]

Awesome, It's like a mini SP404!

[@brodiecole8856]

For real tho

[@sunloveone]

Dope... the scratches tie it all together!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! Im not a great scratch dj but I do love the feeling it brings to a beat :D Thanks for watching!

[@PhilBailey]

Incredible. I need one of these little guys.

[@chraosta]

Those are some gourmet scratches you got there mate! Shits heavy!

[@briggsy9768]

The TechDeck sliding in with the batteries kills me lol Great intro!

[@ReaZaaa]

Great intro and nice beat! Got my PO-33 today! This is going to be a looong night ;D

[@Mixed0]

didnt expect the PO to be able to do that much! really like it!!

[@AccurateBeats]

I know! Same here... It's a little hard to set the start and end points of the samples with the small knobs sometimes but its 100% doable!

[@Mixed0]

Accurate Beats yeah! its probably great for on the road or maybe even live

[@deldia]

You had my attention even before the scratching. That was epic.

[@MakeSomething]

This was great! Subbed. Loving the K.O.!

[@Algorythm-C]

This is amazing....didnt know those little teenage eng pact so much userbility

[@AccurateBeats]

I know! The design of these machines are just crazy good!

[@RaverOperatorGeeza]

Lovely tutorial my friend! Thank you for this awesome upload - I've been wondering about pads for my next PO33 team with breakbeat - you got this nicely! ❤️❤️

[@mdrglr]

I had trouble with the case , puttin it on lol. Love this thing !

[@severeflows]

Best p.o. so far. Looks like I have to sell my volca sample now. Dope jam!

[@AccurateBeats]

I totally agree! This is the best PO hands down! I also really dig using it with the case - it makes a big difference

[@wojtekwozniak9272]

Awesome man! You really make groove with it! Try something like Kick on 1st 11 and 16th for double effect. Snare on 5th 8th 11th and 13th step. Hi-hat for 1/2 beat each. Open hi-hat on the 15th step. Two different color of snare layered on 5th and 13 th step. Swing value 15. Tempo around 80 to 90 and just jamming

[@shmiqqy]

unlike everything else te make this is actually well priced for its form factor and its capabilities, i might get one to pair with my op-1

[@BoombapArt]

Very nice!

[@RestLess-MinD]

really dope track. i knowits kind of latee butttt...i got a question if you may..do you think that the po 33 is capable of creating a high audio quality track ?

[@JakobHaq]

Your stuff always shines bro! ⭐️

[@tom22333]

That intro was sick

[@ericbrock5957]

Holy shit! I just stumbled apon this.. didnt know about it..Mind blown! I got po rhythm and arcade.. i wasnt to hot to get the tonic.. im so glad i waited!! I gotta get this! TAKE MY MONEY!!

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah. The PO-33 KO! is the best Pocket Operator by FAR :D

[@MBudget]

I love your videos! pure quality

[@jasonturnipseed8411]

Dope. Love the Lego intro.

[@nowonderfreebeats2587]

The vibes are real on this🔥🔥

[@chad2687]

Loved the intro

[@sinewaymusic]

So, adding a protective case means you lose the visual feedback of the led lights? That is a serious design flaw.

[@RaverOperatorGeeza]

REALLY NICE JOB WHAT YOU DID HERE MY FRIEND, REALLY NICE!! sorry for the capitals!

[@juanpalma919]

The intro was awesome

[@TOSRIP]

Could I do this with audio on my laptop? And perhaps record it into audacity?

[@hannibalactor1287]

Sure!! Now you got the MPC Live, you definitely need another sampler. ;)

[@AccurateBeats]

Haha! Noooo... There is a difference between "needing" and "wanting" :)

[@DorianTwist]

I think I'm going to grab the P-35 Speak. You can get some really interesting sounds out of that one. Rad video. Cheers.

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah! Im also thinking about getting it. Please tell me how you feel about it!

[@alyeska4226]

Im trying to decide between this or the P-33. I like the fx on this one.

[@jakewelch.design]

Intro was fun, had my 13 year old self rolling around in his grave

[@knowthyself8233]

Dope man!

[@tico1783]

Is it possible to turn off quantize? Or is the Swing option just fine?

[@klonhead]

great intro!

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you!

[@OaklandMisfit]

I'm a bit late to the party, but this is very cool. KO + scratch is dope!

[@lostit311]

Pretty dope.

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks!

[@cursedsound]

Very nice man ✌️

[@stizzzy3544]

Whoa haha that's dope asf and easy! That's great!

[@infinity528hz5]

Love this video

[@master665]

Niiice

[@VanDavid94]

This is amazing, is there a for dummies tutorial for how to use for beginners and also is there a way to save samples digitally?

[@bobbyberetta4206]

VanDavid94 VanDavid94 I just got mine last week and Gar Hoover’s video on creating the “stepping stone” track really helped me out, hope this helps.

[@91sakjr]

Nice

[@threalkrazyk8852]

Just ordered one of these arriving tomorrow cant wait. Great vid ✌💚

[@georgeguntrip6241]

where did u pick up the case please

[@adriannunez8868]

Trying to use a DJ controller for scratching and a modular synth for the master keyboard to add more sound. Would I even need a big sampler/beatpad like an AKAI MPC One to make beats like this or would the PO be okay ? the PO would right along a DJ Pioneer 800

[@alfonsor7224]

I connected it to some self-powered ones and it sounds very weak. I connected it to a sound card connected to a PC and you can't hear anything and I connected it to an electric guitar amp and it sounds weak and terribly bad. I don't know what to do now, I bought it for a small live performance and I don't know what I should do. If someone can help me I would appreciate it very much.

[@iArtFilms]

clever intro, super sweet man....

[@roweyuo7691]

огонь! олдскул чувак

[@TheChameleon2008]

Fuck man... this video gets a thumbs up just for the stop-motion intro!

[@nomad1517]

Reminds me of the adult swim bumps

[@MarkensonPierre]

So awesome, where I can find these beat?

[@bboymac84]

sick! Im waiting for mines 33 and 35

[@AccurateBeats]

Oh1 That's a nice combo!

[@bboymac84]

Accurate Beats just got it 2weeks ago! 😊😀😀

[@bboymac84]

Let's team up!

[@vel2118]

who said there’s no future for minimalistic music making? huh?

[@PEOCTAT]

awesome Bro!!! tnx u

[@shcuttlemeyer5893]

What record is the drumloop from??

[@andrewadaams]

Me too!

[@mrtessellate]

Nice video, hope you'll do more like this one. Too bad you sold your PO-32, if Teenage Eng. read this, please send him a Tonic !

[@AccurateBeats]

Thanks! The PO-32 was cool but I think this one fit me a lot better :) Thanks for watching!

[@ЕвгенийОкулов-щ2ш]

Why you plug out output cable, when plug in input? Can PO33 makes some fx on input signal?

[@AccurateBeats]

I got some feedback from the PO-33 sending the audio to the mixer for the camera recording... It made an audio loop so I just had to unplug it because of the video recording.

[@theycallmejpj]

what's better between this and the volca sample?

[@AccurateBeats]

The big difference for me is that the Volca Sample can't sample. You just load them into the volca. The PO-33 KO! has both a mic and an input for sampling... That helpes a lot

[@theycallmejpj]

cool, and what about actually using the devices? did you find one easier to use and make patterns with than the other?

[@xaqary]

Dig the low bit rate vibes. Is that 8 bit?

[@AccurateBeats]

Im actually not sure but yeah, the low quality really brings a cool feel to the sound

[@teenageengineering]

the recorded audio is 8-bit, µ-law companded, 23437.5 Hz samplerate

[@hannibalactor1287]

teenageengineering Good to know...thx a lot.

[@eule1883]

Would you recommend this for smn who has not much experience in beat making and music theory?

[@rotifreak]

I wouldn't recommend it as main beatmaking device, but it's definitely great to mess around with and gain inspiration. for more advanced beats download any DAW (you can also pirate it ;) ) of your choice and you've got a nice starting point.

[@EnochLight]

@@rotifreak - LMAO!! "You can also pirate it".. so classy to see people recommending stealing and thieving on the Internet like it's no big deal. Sad. Pathetic criminal, much?

[@overnightmares]

Did you realize hiss or distortion? I have on mine. Especially kick drums don’t sound very nice

[@AccurateBeats]

When I crank the volume of the kick to 100% it gets kinda distorted in a weird way but I haven't heard an overall hiss on the unit

[@eyeonvision360]

How do you erase or delete a sound you entered in a pattern?

[@EnochLight]

Sample over it.

[@iamlane]

sounds like Horillaz surprisingly. great work!

[@AccurateBeats]

Alex Lane thank yo’

[@davidrobot7818]

This is very neat. how much memory does the KO have?

[@AccurateBeats]

David Robot thanks! I think the total sampling time is 40 secs and that gets shared over the entire unit. Not 100 on that though.

[@teenageengineering]

this is correct, 40 seconds in total.

[@jodybigfoot]

why do you have to plug in and out the input between every step

[@AccurateBeats]

I connected the audio and the camera in such a way that I got feedback from the line out into the line in. Just because I used a camera.. .Nothing that'll effect any "normal" user.

[@naught101]

Why are you unplugging the output every time you record something?

[@AccurateBeats]

I got a feedback loop from the audio I recorded on video... The output of the PO went back into the PO again... That wont happen in a different kind of setup

[@naught101]

Ah yeah, that makes sense :)

[@antkn33]

How many different things can you sample to use in a pattern?

[@EnochLight]

It's monophonic, and it's limited to 4 voices.

[@xv06-y31]

do u mean write by rec?

[@StarmanDeluxe2001]

Immediate Like

[@AccurateBeats]

Thank you!

[@BlackSuneEmpire]

Where did you get the case from? Could you also tell me the name of it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[@AccurateBeats]

Hex iD The case is also from teenage engineering. It’s called CA-X and available directly from their web shop. It works great!

[@BlackSuneEmpire]

Thanks for the quick response! I will check it out.

[@BlackSuneEmpire]

Hmm they don't seem to have them in the UK. Probably why I struggled to find them.

[@AccurateBeats]

Hex iD Ah! I see. But teenage ships worldwide, right?

[@BlackSuneEmpire]

They do. But I think I will wait for UK stock. As the price they are charging for essentially a plastic case with rubber buttons, I could buy another operator.

[@deepseadiver8191]

“I’m not saying this is my best track ever but it’s made on a Pocket Operator so what do you expect with it?”. Then why bother using it? What’s the point of making tracks on it with these low expectations?

[@AccurateBeats]

For the fun of it

[@macboogieland2897]

wait, did you chop up the break?? how?

[@AccurateBeats]

It is actually possible to adjust the start and end points of the samples! SICK

[@OceanMoonJack]

If you assign the sample to a drum slot, the KO chop it up automatically.

[@AccurateBeats]

Yeah! And the slices are editable

[@enkiea8322]

5:38 😮

[@DJMOFUNKTV]

Nic3

[@alexeykurilo4381]

Hi man. How many lines can it play simultaneously?

[@AccurateBeats]

Im not 100% sure actually but I ran into problems when I added the string melody on top of the main chords with the baseline and the drums...

[@teenageengineering]

PO-33 has four (4) simultaneous voices

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

*And another Accurate beat minus messing up on the patterns. lol*

[@AccurateBeats]

E L I T E O N T H E B E A T haha! Yeah. I messed that one up :p

[@district5rookie]

This looks so confusing to use.

[@soejrd24978]

I gotta stop buying shit hahahh

[@420fingersports]

nice
