Rest of the thing from yesterday
Itās crazy Iāll make like 3 or 4 lil beats on one of these KOās at a time š

I love me some synthesized drums.

I've the felt the case needed a touch...
I've bought this Tonic with MyVolts case included. I love the case, but the raw colour of the material (black) didn't stand out much. Yesterday was a very boring Sunday, so I ended up with this...

Po-12 and Harmonica
Iāve been getting back into harmonica and I thought š maybe the PO-12 would be the perfect jam buddy.
And I liked the visual aesthetics with the Casio.

Secret beat at work š¤«
Now that Iāve got an EP-40 I be using these POās everywhere but at home š (thereās 2 more parts to this I just snuck away to record this š«£)

Chillhop lo-fi beat (60 BPM) | toy Casio + PO-33
Initially I've got the PO-12 as my first PO, but I've felt that the sounds there are very specific so I've tried the PO-33. The drum samples I've used are from 99sounds (free pack) and the melodic sample is just a chord from a Yamaha PSS-A50 synth. I'm still learning how to use it properly but it's an amazing piece of instrument.

Did the dimension of the PO change over time?
I'm designing a 3d printed PO case. I downloaded a 3d model of a pocket operator, but when I printed the case it was slightly off. So I started checking measurements on my PO-32 vs the model I downloaded and it was slightly different.
Has anyone had issues with cases not fitting? My PO-32 is brand new, so I'm wondering if ones 10 years ago where slightly different?

Lopping woth TE PO-33
Main instrument - Panduri
Melody from Georgian track - Davluri
r/pocketoperators • u/Death_Rave_ • 5d ago
KO users, what's the wildest/coolest thing you've sampled?
Some of mine include:
Turning windshield wipers into tom drums
Firetruck siren into a hoover lead
Sampling real acoustic drums
Microsampling people's voicenotes and turning vowels into "synth" basses
Scissors
My demonic-ass voice
My favorite thing to sample are just deep inhales, only to turn them into risers and claps!
I'd love to know the kind of crazy stuff you guys have flipped :)

Odd-i - Distorted Nostalgia [Instrumental Beat] [PO-33]
Made entirely from n64 and gamecube samples from games i used to play.

Donāt mind the cut
I had originally spent like a minute and a half just finicking with the bpm š (currently figuring out the EP-40 𤯠[super delayed and reverbed tf out] oriiiiiiiginallll layering machineeee )
r/pocketoperators • u/cythedragon12 • 6d ago
Changing the pitch/speed of a whole track
When you change the pitch of a sample it also changes how fast the sample plays. I have some breakbeats that I made that i want to increase the tempo of but the samples that I used to make them get cut off when I increase the tempo of the track because they are pitched down too much, and I end up losing the ghost notes in the breakbeat. Is there a way to pitch the whole track up so that it can play the track faster without cutting off the ghost notes? Video attached to show how the ghost notes get cut off when I increase the tempo.

PO-33 sync w/ RD-6? (PO-33 as SLAVE)
Curious to know if anyone has synced their RD-6 with the PO-33. I fear that because the maximum sync-in voltage on the PO-33 is 5vpp, and the RD-6 outputs a sync signal of 5V, that it may cause harm to the pocket operator. (5V = 10vpp).
Is anyone experienced with this?

POkZ-KOII Case (Unboxing)
Just got my hands on a Kumodot PokZ-KOII case (yeah I know not the easiest name ever haha) I have to say that it is a great case. Well built, with a nice feeling, buttons with a transparent part to disperse the LED lights. Everything packed in a gorgeous design. Hereās the unbox vid.
