The PO-33 KO is probably one of my favorite new pieces of gear in a long time. I made an entire album on it in about a week. It's just so easy to use and the workflow really inspires so much creativity.

One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to take my skills as a software developer and explore what I'm able to accomplish in limited contexts (i.e. a simple programming language in a game). I assume these devices would be equally challenging and fun.

Damn, man! Next you should make music with an abacus! 😂

I think it quantizes the FX automation at the same rate as the notes, so you basically get 16 points per pattern. This matches how it handles the rest of the pattern automation at least.

Hey Andrew I just bought the the PO KO! I hope it's amazing! I have been wanting to get into Synths and making electronic music in general. I have had such a hard time figuring what to get, and getting confused in general with how equipment is explained. This was a great tutorial, and I can't wait to get my device to play with and try to learn! If you have any other recommendations please make more videos on them. I need to learn, and I want equipment you trust!

The most amazing thing about these is how expensive they are when you actually look at them.

[@winniemusictv]

Still much more cheaper than the OP1

[@VICKERY-]

....they aren't expensive

[@VICKERY-]

......at all....

[@superchroma]

@@VICKERY- relative to other equipment, no. I think people get annoyed when they see how much brick and mortar stores are marking the popular ones of them up, and when they get an impression that these are some kind of groovebox. They're practically toys, and that's fine. With that in mind, relative to something like an app, e.g. nanoloop, they're quite expensive and honestly a bit of a pain to use with serious intent. Though i'd be happy to have one on a plane or something, sure.

[@superchroma]

@@VICKERY- also, I wonder if these aren't just largely identical hardware devices flashed with different firmware. If you did want to use these and only these to produce, it would be great if you could pay some amount to license firmware and then reflash them to be the ones you need. If you're interest in three or four, the price quickly adds up.

[@elibieker7418]

[@infn8loopmusic]

Great video! I've gotta get the PO 33 now! Pocket operators are so awesome I had my PO-20 for a couple years now and just realized that it supports midi beat sync up with other synths. My mind is blown with how much ground these cover, yet so simple, and easy to use and super inexpensive.

Just got the PO-24 Office. Really love it so far but my next purchase will likely be the K.O. so I can daisy chain and sync up beats.

[@LAZER_US]

Yo! You did a pocket operator video!!! What editing software do you use?

[@JakHart]

Limitation is exactly why I love the PO system. I have the PO-24, Office, learning how to work within the limitations of this device has actually made me create some really fun beats. I cannot wait to add a second operator. Really don't know what I want yet. Kind of leaning towards the KO.

Yeah , 4 polyphonic doesn't matter if you are actually trying to create a decent track on DAW. You'd be running the individual me channels onto their own tracks. Worrying about that would.pnly be if you wanted to use this.as a toy.
