PO-20 & PO-28: New Frontier [Hubbard/Hall] - Pocket Operators
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Rob Hubbard & Max Hall's "A New Frontier", performed live on Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators PO-20 and PO-28.
Everything filmed in one take as usual.
Two Pocket Operators were used, synced together:
* PO-20: Bass, kick, hats, chords bleeps & pads
* PO-28: Lead sounds, background bleeps
Since this song would need a Bb-note, which isn't available on the PO-28, I emulated this by quickly bending a B - always something :)
This version is based on this version: • Genesis Project - That...
Very impressive skills. You managed to use many features at speed into a nice melodic music, not just rumbling sounds... I have the same PO’s and this video is an inspiration to move forward
So very happy to hear that, thanks! There are some more songs on the channel where I play live, and more will come - so stay tuned :)
Listened to this track 20+ times now, still marveling at your performance. Awesome arrangement and performance. PO-20 & PO-28 really is the dream team among all POs.
Thank you so much Daniel, really happy you liked it! Yes, they are a real good couple those two. There are more PO jams on the channel and more to come so feel free to sub :)
@@tubesockor I feel myself po20 and the po28 are the best couple in the series. i own them too and man.. so much joy with them.... chiptunes are great.....
@abc xyz They sure are fun! Just listened to this video myself now again after some years have passed and I’m quite satisfied with the results as well :)
Even better than the orginal. I thought I knew everyone of Rob Hubbards tune but this one was a new one for me. Really good and it grows for every new listening.
Thanks! Yes, it is a pretty new and thereby unknown Hubbard tune. He made it together with Max Hall, since I think Rob at the time didn't have his old C64 up and running :) Happy you like my version!
Beautiful, great performance!
I'm happy you liked it, thanks!
God! So goooooood!
+yerzmyey Thanks! :)
This is fucking greatness!
Yeah, happy you liked it!
aw awe awesome
Hehe, thanks! :)
Killed it!!!!
Yay, thanks!
Really good!
Really happy you like it!
Well done.
Thank you, Jim!
The first time i watched this was about a year ago, and its still amazing.
Great to hear that! You are welcome back any time :)
Amazing 💪How long did it take you to practice playing this song?
Thanks! Don’t remember - but this one took longer :)

@@tubesockor Holy cow! I don't know which one is better. You've got skills. After your movies I know i have to hount down the po-28 :)
@dafimperator Hehe, then you can take a look at this playlist where I assembled all my PO live tunes sofar. Some could be even more crazy :)

@@tubesockorReally inspiring stuff and you've got really talented kid. It's a pleasure to watch. I bought po-12, po-16, po -20, po-33 and said to myself "stop until you do something solid with them" but when I see what you do with po-28 my dark side of my mind tells me that my set isn't complete yet ;)
super deluxe!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent tune, I have the Robot, but I'm struggling to get anything decent out of it.
Yeah, I get that. The Arcade is my favorite of these 2. It is quite flexible.
Keep on struggling - good stuff will come out eventually! :)
It really is. Arcade + Robot are a great team!
Mark, The robot is a tough nut to crack by itself, as its more of a live tool than a drum machine like the arcade and rhythm... but its still hella fun.
PO in concert, very nice!!!
Thanks :)
Awesome work! What DAW are you using?
+Yarko Petriw Thanks! This is all live and straight from the outputs, so no DAW.
One of my Favourite PO Arcade/Robot tunes of all time. So inspirational I got my own PO-20! Always come back to it after a while. Massive performance and nice video edit. So cool!
Ah, thanks! Happy to hear that!
You are a wizard
+arthur king Oh, no - but thanks! :)
OUTSTANDING WORK. Listening to the original SID right now then will come back to this after for a second listen. Extremely impressed, especially the fast finger arpeggiation.
Thanks a lot!
The robot and arcade are made for eachother !!!
Yes, they sound nice together!
Can we have the chord progression for po-20? I love this song. Well, to be honest I love every song composed by Hubbard or Galway :) BTW your performance is outstanding.
Thanks, great you liked it! I have made more Hubbard songs on the channel, and more is in the works - so subscribe and you'll get more!
Here's the chord progression btw: 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 15 15 1 1 5 5 9 9 15 15 1 1 5 4 9 9 15 15 1 1 5 5 9 9 15 15 1 1 5 4 9 9 9 9 5 1 6 6 5 1 6 6 5 1 6 6 15 15 4 4 5 1 6 6 5 1 6 6 5 1 6 6 15 15 4 4 9 9 15 15 1 1 5 5 9 9 15 15 1 1 5 4 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
Many thanks. And for your videos... already watched them all :D (and, to be honest, it's all your "fault" if I own a PO-20 ;) )
Hehe :)
I think this is so far the best PO-performance I have seen. Good job!
Thanks a lot, Mika! There is more on the channel and something new is soon to be recorded as well!
Intresting .......
It sure is :)
Inspiring!
Great to hear, thanks!
amazing
Thanks!
Not human
Haha :)
Geil! Voll Hubbard'ish...
Thanks! Yes, was great to have something new from him!
Ja, und die Umsetzung ist toll gelungen! Mit Solo... 👍
Vielen dank!
Great performance! From those two, which one would you recommend as a first operator to start with?
Thanks! If you’re only getting one and want to be able to play melodies live I would say the PO-28. It has bass & drums as well so you can do a complete song on it.
@@tubesockor Thank you very much!
Wow! Great hooks and solos! I love this little ditty! I recently picked up the megaman and street fighter POs so I'm excited to create and this is a good guide and inspiration! Subbed!
Thanks a lot Mattybot! I’ve done a few more similar videos - feel free to look around :)
Holy mother of fuck that was impressive! Especially those manual ARP runs
Ah, thanks! Happy you liked it!
Great Work! Very nice base kick, would love some tuturials how you build em up! /Raaerds Kör hårt!
Thanks! Yes, will do more songs and videos so stay tuned :)
Något så djävulusiskt snyggt må jag säga! Inspirationen flödar efter detta!
Men åh, tackar! Jamenvisst, lira på! :)
Awesome mix dude! I got the po20, but the live play of the robot looks and souns amazing! :)
Thanks! Yes, the combo of those two is a really good match!
Omg that is so geeky and cool. Why have I only just seen this😱
Thanks :)
Great stuff!! :) very retro!!!
Oh yes, retro indeed - but actually quite a new song!
Amazing!!! Unbelievable.
Thanks, Sandro!
Fantastic, one of the best showcases of PO20 and PO28! Please make more C64 remakes.
2 questions if you dont mind :
1. are both PO-20 and PO-28 capable of creating a bassline that uses any notes that are available on this keyboard? I have yet to see a song on net on PO 20 that would have bassline WITHIN a pattern that has bass notes different than just one note in various octaves. I think even in both of your songs bass is just one note with different octave and changes only when chord changes. But what about custom bassline within pattern?
This is the only song that has such bassline so I am guessing PO 28 can do it.. but what about PO 20?
ua-cam.com/video/JRj0pUe-Opk/v-deo.html
2. Does any of these have a capability to hold a BASS note (set ADSR) longer or they have fixed length/decay/release? Can one make a bass note that would last entire pattern...or for example a bass note that would IMMEDIATELY stop once you release it, without any release time to fade it out?
Ah, happy that you like it! I have some more C64 remakes on the channel and I'm planning to do many more!
To your questions:
1. PO-20 can only do the root note of the chord played, in two octaves. And the chords themselves can only change every bar. So no way of doing a bassline with that one. PO-28, as you already noticed, can do it.
2. The PO-20 have fixed length notes, but the PO-28 have a "release" knob so you can have a custom release for each note if you like. The shortest is "immediate" release, and the max is about half a pattern or so.
I like your songs because they sound like a cohesive whole song ...not just like some sum of random effects PO20 and PO 28 can do, like seen in many PO videos. A lot of songs underuse the bass parts and in this song it is in our faces, which is great. I wonder if Delta c64 would be able to be made with PO20 and PO28 only.
thank you for replies and keep up the good work!
Thanks, means a lot! Yes, I maybe try to have a somewhat musical instrument approach to these things, rather than seeing them as beat-making glitch machines :) Regarding Delta on a PO20 or 28, there are a few things that would make it problematic:
* When using the Chord feature on the PO-20, it can only change every measure and this song changes it more often
* Playing live on the PO-28 is only possible in one key - but Delta uses two. A similar problem exists on the PO-16 but for my version of Delta I added some "silent" effects on some trigs of a pattern, changing the whole key one half-step. But that is not possible on the 28.
This is just freaking AMAZING. Beyond nuts good.
Thank you so very much!
Awesome sound!
Thanks Eduardo!
Where is that lovely fast sequence at 0:47 from? PO28? Awesome!!!
+Nicolas Kern You mean the "chords"? They come from the PO-20. In true 8-bit style they are just very fast arpeggios, to simulate chords.
Well indeed that should be the arpeggios. Is that a factory sound from the PO20? Can't the PO28 do the same?
+Nicolas Kern The (current) line of POs all only contain "factory" sounds, but can be tweaked with the two knobs. Only the PO-20 has chord-arps, so the 28 can't do them. Unless you manually play it very fast, that is :)
Hm good analysis, the max BPM with a sound-alike sound can do the trick, but indeed the best thing is the PO28 ;) Thanks!
freakin intense!
Yay!
T...this can't be real
Super real! :) Thanks!
This can't be real
you selling ROMs?
Game ROMs? Nope :)
Incredible, Thanks!
I’m happy you liked it!
Yet another suite of awesomeness.
:)
Nice manual arps
Thank you! There are some arps on my Delta song as well, if you like it :)
I need more of this
More stuff is coming :)
Riktigt grymt!
Kul att höra, tack!
Very nice!
Yay :)
Great performance!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
