One trick that helps counterbalance that obnoxious knob sensitivity is to keep your drum samples limited to 4-8 sounds. You have to go back and manually adjust the parameters after you copy the sample over to the rhythm bank (but that usually needs to be done anyway). This way, the slicing interface becomes becomes 2-4x easier to handle.

This thing has honestly been my favorite tool for music production. It bridges the gap of translating your ideas on the spot that I think many artists struggle with when using a DAW. Theres absolutely no limitations to this thing, with enough practice you can: make an entire track using one pattern. Make odd time signature beats. Do simple delay effects. Break the 4-voice limit by layering your samples. Straight up write tracks with more than 4 voices and get glitchy/cool results. Crank sounds for distortion/saturation. Custom FX like fm,reverb,distortion by sampling multiple versions of the same sound. This thing is an absolute beast of a tool. You never stop learning new tricks with it!

The knobs are super easy to replace on the most of the PO's for anyone with basic solder experience. Just a few chunky thru-hole solder points. On the KO/Speak/Tonic, there's a chip hiding under the knobs so you have to be more careful with the heat, but it's more tedious than hard. But I'd practice on an Arcade or something first. Better knobs can be found on Mouser, etc. I ordered: Mouser #:688-RK09L1140A66 ... SO MUCH BETTER CONTROL. Like many things with TE, wish they'd spent an extra $0.20, but I know you have to hit your price bracket somehow.

Quite a lot of people make whole albums with these things. In my opinion the optimal combo is the 33 + 32, this will allow you to create and play almost any genre of music. Most people make hippety hoppus style music, if you check out the subreddit you’ll drown in it, if that’s your jam. But there are a couple of users who have made some intriguing and interesting concept albums with these things. Check out: Foie Gramen for abstract PO24 Music Jellyfish ranch for some 8 bit chiptune music Kthebot and albin also make some chiptune. Chris pottle for an amazing sub album. And there is this tubeyouber who calls himself lashings at no cost who have created an album with po24.

Nice 1 Ricky. I love my PO33 almost as much as my PO32. But like you I am a little frustrated with the fine-tuning (or lack there of). I don't see any reason why a firmware update couldnt introduce a fine-tuning function, where by the knobs become 5 or 10 times more sensitive. Useful for everything, but particularly for trimming samples, which tbh, at the moment, is barely fit for purpose. I think I may even have written to Teenage Engineering telling them as much, but who am I? No one, that's who. But with the mighty heft of your social media presence, surely they would listen to you? Do us all a flavor, Rik, sort it out. You da man.
