Thanks!

It's a sequencer. So, the track is programmed and chained. But since they're only 16 patterns, I have to play some live overlay. 😁

Thanks 🙌

Thanks! Accidentally discovered low bass dictated the vibe. :)

😁

4 overall: Pocket Operator PO-20 Arcade was the first one, then PO-128 MegaMan. And two samplers: PO-133 Street Fighter and EP133 K.O. II.

@@vmpixelmusic nice

🙌 thanks!

🙌

This just made me wanna get a pocket operator. Should I?

Oh, it's a lot of fun! I call it "happy accidents machine." I had no musical education and yet I can produce something people find interesting to listen to.

@@vmpixelmusic Thanks 😝😊

Yep :)

Thanks 🙌

Thanks! ✌️

Thanks, mate! 🙌

Thanks! 🙌

Thanks! 🙌

Thanks! The cable is Candycord by Myvolts.

🤷

Thanks, mate! 🙌

He forced me to do it. And many other things I'm not proud of 😁

Thanks! 🙌

Thanks! 🙌

🙌👍✌️

Thanks! 🙌 It sounds close enough to get a copyright issue :) To be honest, I don't know how MPC works :) PO128 allows you to play chromatically and select the root note for a scale.

@@vmpixelmusic oh no! It got claimed?

Yep, but it's alright. It's allowed to cover. So, they could have taken part in the profit from monetization, which I don't have anyway :)

Thanks! 🫶

Thanks, mate! 🙌

Nice! 😁

Thanks! I spend many hours making it work. Worth it! :)

Thanks :)

Hard to tell. All of these are samples from Quincy Jones tracks. One - the main melody - is from "Love Me By My Name" And the flute-like sound is from "Superwoman" I hope, you'll find what you are looking for.

All I have so far is here: ua-cam.com/play/PLG4_y4XBqo5sfrgWDB5Azry6H4zKuFaVF.html&si=FUHLiM1FFVBs__N5

Thanks! PO 20 is fun. It has a unique feature with chords that you can sequence separately and lots of different chiptune sounds. However, you can't play on it like on PO12 or PO33. It kinda forces you to sequence everything and then just hit play.

@@vmpixelmusic i want it for the voice efx to get close to the kraftwerk speak and spell sound

@@djthrift6244 Oh, PO 20 can't do it. It's just a bunch of different 8bit sounds. You probably need PO 35 speak.

Nice! The main piano riff was definitely inspired by Humble :)

lol yeah right

Thanks! My fav part about making music is it triggers different emotions and associations in people. It doesn't really matter what I was trying to achieve as long as it resonates anyhow. 😄

Thanks, mate! 🙌

@@kaitlyn__L One of your partners? I, too, enjoy my relationships like my synths, Poly.😅 You should upload your PO jam, yo. Peace from a bi unicorn

@@slowbro1337 that’s a great pun! Yeah, I’ve been poly for 12 years haha I don’t have any POs, just lots of experience with those tact switches on other devices (and my own projects from school!). This beat was made in Ableton :) though I’m considering making a second channel to shove my music on, as a counterpart to my underused SoundCloud.

@@kaitlyn__L Well, best to you n your partners! I am always happy to come across other poly peeps, especially ones that enjoy synths as well.😄 Most of my setups are dawless, but i have been using Fruity Loops as a primary DAW since FL7(got to love lifetime free updates) I've never had any knob issues over the years of use for my gear. That said, I don't play my gear with cheeto fingers or dirty hands, and try to keep them clean. A second channel is never a bad option tbh. Nice chatting and peace to Y'all. If you ever feel like sharing, I wouldn't mind listening. I got a hurricane about to hit me, and I need to find my sampler before it comes in to record the audio, peace haha

Thanks! It still feels hip-hoppy. I should change the drum packs to have more constraints :) Btw, would love to hear your music. 🎧

@@slowbro1337 recording storms is important! I will try to remember to come back to this to tell you when I finally get round to it, haha. I want to get the chords and melody down first, and a few variants of the rhythm, rather than posting a bare beat on its own :) The bare potentiometers are usually pretty resilient, the worst that would happen is they get a little mis-calibrated. But the tact switches often get debounce issues after a little dust or grease gets in. The cleanest hands still have a little dust! But I’m sure the communal switch bin I used had pretty tired ones, and maybe TE have really really good debounce code. You might not notice issues until they stop actuating at all, if they’re masking any bouncy switches. Which would be sensible to have done since they charge extra for the cases! As to DAWs, I can’t compose in them at all. I can’t even compose on paper, or any hardware sequencer. I just have to play my ideas 😅 the downsides of being “classically” (aka ensemble/orchestrally) trained! I’ve tried drum machines for rhythms, but get frustrated at the hoops to bring timing subtleties back in. Most of my rhythms I’ve played IRL (on a desk or guitar body with fingers, say, or in real-time over MIDI) and then tweaked after the fact (swapping sounds, nudging timing 1/128th beat at a time, etc). Usually vertically combining multiple original ideas into one beat as well. But of course that’s all subject to change, as I move from endless sketches and track segments into trying to make more finished pieces!

Yep! The best cases ever. I love how they add stability and reliability to the beauty of pocket operators.

I like the fully-enclosed ones, because those tact switches can react pretty badly to skin oils and dust after a few years of heavy use. They're cheap and easy enough to replace if you can use a soldering iron, but still!

Thanks!

Thanks! It is a Pocket Operator. Tiny pocket synthesizer by Teenage Engineering.

I got it here dichstudios.com/

@@vmpixelmusic thanks for the link. Only saw it now

Wow! That's a discovery! I have never heard 90s memphis, so it was not intentional. Need to check it! 😱

@@vmpixelmusic that’s crazy cuz I thought you took inspiration from Al Kapone, 8ball &mjg(these rappers are from Memphis).
