The resonance only works if you adjusted the filter also. I think thats why you didn't hear any difference. Great informagtive video by the way. Thanks!
Someone may have said this already, but Resonance isn't audible because the filter wasn't engaged. Resonance makes the filter sharper (accentuates frequencies around the filter cutoff point).
For deleting you need to select the SOUND/PATTERN first and then just press RECORD+SOUND (to delete selected sound) or RECORD+PATTERN(to delete selected pattern). Not sure if you can instead press RECORD + SOUND/PATTERN + 1-16. In your case it was already selected here 3:20. Anyway, need to double check. I think that's why it didn't delete at 9:42
Yeah I think you are right. I always make sure the bank of sounds or the pattern is selected before I delete now as it can be extremely annoying when you get the wrong one
This is great. Should be the first stop when learning KO. I would only add the write function for forming patterns. Hold WRITE while the pattern is playing/recording. Then manually play your notes. The only down side is you gotta play notes with one hand.
The KO has many hidden features like double triggering (holding bpm and pressing a pad). And of course the "game changer feature". There is a video on UA-cam about that.
I’m going to annoy u probably by asking a question … in a few days .. I’ve got a few machines but I need samples from stuff to add to my pro beat .. hopefully 🙏 u can help I’ll check back in a few weeks much appreciated little man ( I’m 50
@@Amonieux it's the ability to create a custom drum kit on the PO. The UA-camr "Free Beat" has made a video about that feature. It's called "5 reasons the PO-33 is still great". He shows that feature around 5:00 minutes.
Awesome series man ty. Btw found out that when u record a sound in u only need to hold record and tap the number of the bank. This changed my world... freakin hate holding buttons all over the place with my sausage fingers... can.t see a damn thing. Keep it up Blood and thank u again 💫
Excellent thanks. Small thing though; around 6’45” the business about recording/recording when using FX was a bit unclear and I’ve listened to it several times. Great stuff though all the same. Cheers. Lee
Basically you can't edit/change parameters once you've input it into the step sequencer. Its like a recorder in the sense that its set in stone and can't be undone. It remembers what you added in (including FX data, its not just a marker of where to play that sound) If you want to change the sound (e.g repitch a snare) you will have to take out the snares, do what you want to do and add them in again.
Thank you so much - this tutorial has managed to be as simple as it gets .. teenage engineering's manual was, indeed, as useful as a chocolate teapot .. again thank you for the straight forward tutorial . 🤟🫶
niiiiiiiiiiice...would you mind if I linked your PO-33 videos in my descriptions? cause your stuff's always so on point...this vid in particular is the best overview type of vid I've come across so far...well done, mate!!!
This is just what I needed. I just got one of those SP style cases and completely forgot how to delete samples. You have a great channel because I am also learning 404 mkii by watching your vids. Looking forward to 2023! Lets go
While searching for documentation, I came accross a few people that lost their POs to ESD death, meaning touching the pcb is a risk to kill the POs. So get a nice case for your POs (recomending the solid type one can get at etsy). Also using it is more relaxed that way, also the POs are typical "travel" instruments, and the cases are perfect for that, feels like throwing a pocket calculator in your bagpack. Realy, get a case. Also, if anyone ever encounters a sudden "PO death" even with a case on it, leave a comment here, would be good to know.
I've never had any issues. Had the thing years now but yeah I should probably get one! Sadly in the UK there isn't much choice though. I might just get one of the TE ones
@@spvidz Thing with ESD is, it works, until it doesn't, no in between.(as it practically never kills a passive element, but if something dies of ESD, it's the microchips) I got one of the rubbery "cases" first, but did not use the PO33 much with it. Later I bought my case of spillerphoto on etsy, they have the UK in their shipping list, sadly I can not see how much the shipping is without ordering. The cases are ok 3D prints, meaning you need a nail file to clean the thing up a little, but worth it. My version even has an integrated plastic glass screen and little rubber feet. Thx for the upload, really a nice tutorial.
everytime i sample into my po-33 it always makes my kicks/low end more crunchy than i want. any mixing/workflow tips on how to get a cleaner sound out of the po-33?
@@spvidz Thanks for the reply. I just found that making my kicks mono prior to recording them into the PO-33 and slapping on a slight low-pass filter helped me attain the level of grit I'm looking for. I just got this pocket operator and absolutely love the authentic lofi sound it produces!
Can you only sample mic recordings? Or can you sample sounds from another device? Because I would like to use this as a sound board to play sound effects at a college baseball game. Specifically I want to use cartoon sound effects and clips of Cartoon character reactions.
After I delete a recorded sample and try to record another one it tells me the time is full even though the slot is empty. Why is my device doing this.
Thx video Q. What is "L"? Ex) i press three time, than L is L03 Q2. Now im understand how to play in write mode.

How can i this ? Q3. Can i live recording ? Ex, i play one sample really fast three time like "ba,ba,bam" and i want to put in different pad i played sound. Thx..
You use the headphone output as the line-out. You need a 3.5mm cable that goes to whatever you need at the other end. For example if you want to take the signal to an SP device with phono inputs you need a 3.5mm to phono cable
Paraphrased, "I've recorded a thing, modified the sound afterwards, and yet it doesn't change the original recording. How weird." Just guessing, you were born after '96, yeah?
6 hours playing around of this device I couldn’t even understand how to chop the samples. Thanks for the video, big time saver.
Glad to help!
This helped out a lot other tutorials were all over the place and this was simple and easy to follow
Very glad to hear that man!
excellent mate. someone actually teaching, not just showing off. these units are so hard to learn imho
Hope it helped. Yeah they are a little tricky. If you have a break from it you need to spend time remembering all the key combinations again!
Totally agree, well done!
The resonance only works if you adjusted the filter also. I think thats why you didn't hear any difference.
Great informagtive video by the way. Thanks!
Thanks for the info! 👌
Correct
Res=resonance. It "discribes" the shape of the bell curve of the filter. If you have no filter selected there is no bell curve to shape.
Thanks man yep thats solved the mystery!
Describe*
Nice description, I would have said makes it sharper or softer but yours sounds more technical 👍
oh! that's why nothing was happening 😅
I came up against the same thing, 'This doesn't do anything!'
By far, the best beginner video i've seen for this. Thank you!!
Thanks man, hope it helps!
This was incredibly helpful, thanks for this! I already wrote everything down in my phones notepad.
Glad to help! Should have some more PO-33 content dropping in the next couple of days 👍
Someone may have said this already, but Resonance isn't audible because the filter wasn't engaged. Resonance makes the filter sharper (accentuates frequencies around the filter cutoff point).
when recording to a button you could just hold the record button and just press the button you want to record into instead of holding both buttons
Ahh cool thanks for that man!

Resonance only takes effect around a certain frequency of sound passing through it. Apply some res then adjust the filter to hear it

Resonance works together with filter, if you have no filter there is no resonance

Great! But I have one question: how to change quantity of loops in chain? For examle from 8 to 4?
Do the same process again and it will overwrite the previous chain
@@spvidz I will try. Thanks!

EQ is your best bet. The P0-33 aint designed to sound clean unfortunately

what you got that cord plugged into i cant figure out how to play it thru my computer
How do i remove effects?
Pressing the sound button and a number makes the recorded sound play. This seems to not work for the drum set, correct?
A chocolate kettle 🤔 could be the next big thing

You can record any sound in to it. its got a jack input on the side
Is there away to live-record?
I’ve not used mine for a while so not 100% but I think you can if you have Write and Play on at the same time
@@spvidz That was it. Thank you very much
Subbed btw. Thanks. Lee
thanks man appreciate it!
After I delete a recorded sample and try to record another one it tells me the time is full even though the slot is empty. Why is my device doing this.
Resonance didn’t work because it needs to have a filter applied to add resonance to.
Thanks yeah, that makes sense :)
Hey can you load your own samples w out recording them ?
You can backup and load data from external devices teenage.engineering/guides/po-33/en

Turn bpm ticker off
Wow the volume goes past 11? It's the spinal tap of samplers
