    Hello. I am a synthesizer performer working in Korea. The video you uploaded was very helpful to me and I think the sample you shared is also very good. I usually use op1, opz, po33 when I work. They are synthesizers that I love and use most often. If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you could share more tutorial videos and samples of these devices(used or worked on by you). I could be rude, but the samples and videos you shared gave me a lot of inspiration, so I came to ask you this favor. I am sorry if you felt bad and I sincerely support your UA-cam and music activities. Thank you.
    ps) I look forward to hearing from you.

    I think I learned more from this vid than all the other PO videos I've seen.
    Question about your samples (like your bass and horns): Do you always record them in a certain key or do you match the sample to your chord progression? I'm not sure how the key of the sample affects the scale of the melodic banks.

    • @GarHoover
      @GarHoover  5 років тому +1

      Codey Sivley Thanks Man! Yes, I always sample my instruments so that they are all in the same key! By having them all in the same key the melodic samples are already in a scale that works with the rest of the samples! Having all the samples in the same key you can also pitch them a full octave up and down too if you wanna switch it up for a section!

    I made a .WAV backup file if anybody is interested. I tried to keep it as close to how he had his PO set up. There is also a backup of a setup I find a bit more useful which you can try. Basically just moved the guitar plucks to a drum bank (slot 13) and can be switch out into the melodic bank (slot 4) as needed and the chords are all on the melodic bank (slots 5 to 6). Please do your own research on how to do backups and restoring before you do anything. i don't take any responsibility for you blowing your ears out listening to the .wav files or losing your samples.

    Thank you for the awesome tutorial. Can I ask what is probably a really stupid question about getting started: The sample seems to be not in the order you played the samples back...
    Do you have a method to the way your WAV sample files are structured, so I can get them over? Not sure how to do it at the moment... Sorry, I realise it's a lot of extra work for you. I'm hoping you have a "way" of doing things so I can catch up to your tutorials easily, but understanding what I'm looking at here will be super helpful for me (total noob).
    Thanks again very much!

      Yes the samples are not in the same order in the sample WAV but I would suggest sampling in each melodic element into the sample bank that would make it easiest for you to follow along.
      The sounds that go in the drum banks like the drums, chords, etc. will be best to keep in their close rapid fire fashion so you can be sure to sample all of the sounds onto the PO-33!

      Maserati Sparks Hello! You are are going to need to sample each Melodic sample individually into each melodic bank. The drums, river, and chords will each be recorded into their own drums banks and the PO-33 will chop them up into separate samples in each drum bank! It’s a little bit of a process but it yields fantastic results!

      I generally will sample in "A" or "C" depending on the song! I pick "A" when I want to be working in C Major because the sampled A will go to "pad 13" and all of notes will be the same as playing the white keys on a piano if you ignore pads 4 and 12!

    I have a question though, at 5:55 you 'removed the river from the track'. I THINK what you did was play a snippet of the river sound from the same drum bank as the original river sound, stopping the original drum sound since the PO can only play a single sound from the same drum bank. Is that right? How did you create the river sound snippets? I know when you RECORD a sound into a drum bank it will chop it up, but it looks like you copied the original river sound. How?
    Thanks again!

    • @GarHoover

      Re-trimming the drums is a very finicky process. I always start at the end of the sample and keep bringing the start point further and further to the beginning of the sample so that I never have any silence when the pad is triggered. I would also check your swing. That may be affecting the rhythm of your drums, hold bpm and turn the left knob to adjust it, I normally set mine to S04 or S05!

    • @GarHoover
      @GarHoover  3 роки тому

      Hello! If you only have three separate samples playing you should be ok! But you might have other sample from a previous pattern that are trailing into the new pattern with 3 samples causing some of the samples in the “drum banks” to cut out. Make sure that your samples are finished at the end of a pattern. Melodic samples can have the the length adjusted by holding the note that it sequenced and turning the left knob, but for “drum bank” samples you will need to adjust the length of the sample in trim mode!

    • @GarHoover
      @GarHoover  4 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately each melodic track is monophonic but you can have four voices playing on the PO-33 at once. So to make chords you would need to sequence each note of a chord on a different track but if you made a 4 note chord you would have no space for any other sounds.
      Normally I have 2 “melodic” tracks and 2 “drum” tracks. One drum track is actual drum track and the other drum track I use to trigger chords! As you said in your follow up question, I picked 5 or 6 chords from a scale that will work well together and sample them all into my drum track and trim each one to an individual pad in the drum track so I can have them all be triggered! It works really well and I often come up with progressions I would write on my keyboard!

    Hey Gar Hoover, i am pretty new to the PO 33 (got it 2 days ago). To get familar with it i wanted to build the song along with your tutorial. However i am not able to get your samples correctly into my PO. When i am recording the first 16 samples from your file into my drum bank, the PO slices the chords into more of one pieces so that i have the first chord sliced into 7 pieces or so. Do i really have to trim each of those samples by hand?

    • @GarHoover
      @GarHoover  4 роки тому

      Hello! Congrats on the PO-33! I would make sure to load only the drums into one drum bank, the chords into another drum bank, the river sound into another drum bank. The longer the sample is, the more of a challenge the PO-33 has with distributing it equally across each of the 16 pads. Unfortunately, especially with Chords, the PO-33 still fails to distribute across the pads equally. Which requires manual trimming which can be very annoying.
      My tip with manual trimming is to find the beginning of the samples by going from right to left and getting as close to the beginning of the sample as possible without reaching the gap of silence before the sample. It's better to lose a little of the beginning transient of the sample than to have it a delay and be out of time because of silence before the sample.
      I hope this helps you!

      One approach is to pause and play the sound file as you record the different sample types into the different banks. But if you wanted you could load it into an editor or DAW but that’s additional work. One Shot notes go in Melodic Banks on the PO-33. All chords are recorded together into a drum bank on the PO-33. All drum sounds are recorded into another drum bank on the PO-33. The river also is sampled into a drum bank on the PO-33!

I found out if you do that, the Data .wav gets longer than 4minute 12 sec, the data won't be able to go back to a PO33 completely the receiver PO will display "ERR" before the transfor ends ( the last bit of your sample in the last sound bank won't be there). good luck.
