    if you snapped of the memory lock tab and want to reverse that, do OT solder the two contacts toghether, but rather solder a micro switch so you ca switch the lock on or off whenever you like to ...

    I just freaking love your videos. The way you film them is different from the others. Way of placing the camera (filming screen and not screencasting), seeing your reflection, it all together feels like I'm sitting right next to you. You know, like friends home jam session. It makes you think about all this new software and hardware in a such more relaxed way. You're are great dude, cuckoo!

    I am really enjoying Cuckoo's tutorials on the Korg Volcas and Teenage Engineering Pocket Calculators!
    It looks like you're having fun which makes it enjoyable!
    There is enough depth to the reviews to help decide whether or not to buy a certain bit of gear, without getting too bogged down with details!

    just a small addition: to sync with external devices this is the explanation of the sync mode.
    ------: input---------output
    SY0: stereo-------stereo
    SY1: stereo ------mono/sync
    SY2: sync---------stereo
    SY3: sync---------mono/sync
    SY4: mono/sync-------stereo
    SY5: mono/sync-------mono/sync

    That was really cool Cuckoo. What an awesome introductory video. I'm torn between getting a young boy interested in music one of these pocket operators. I just can't decide on which one to get him. PO32 vs PO35 ?? This video alone would be a big help in getting him interested/helping to learn it. Please keep up the good work.

    i love my pocket operators but I find that tying the PO-32 to a piece of expensive software is a real kicker.. If anything it makes me want to sell the PO-32 and buy the PO-33 which is everything the 32 should have been..

    Hi Cuckoo! I'm wondering which Pocket Operator to get, PO-20 or PO-32. I know it's difficult to give a general recommendation, but which one have you had the most fun with? I'm looking for a small device to use on my patio in the summer. I already have plenty of synths and drum machines, for example Digitakt, OP-1, Volcas and Roland Airas. I love making beats, which PO-32 seems to be best at, but I also want something that can make more complete "songs", which points me at the PO-20. Do I simply need both?

    • @truecuckoo
      @truecuckoo  7 років тому +7

      +ProQdev ha ha. The 32 is undoubtedly the most serious instrument, with the most depth. but without the software Microtonic you really can't explore the depth. It's a simple but versatile and great sounding engine. The 20 is great with the chord progression and side chain chords etc, but the sounds and expressions are limited to this one kind of style. If you're happy with that, it's plenty fun.

  • @theinterruptor
    @theinterruptor 6 років тому

    Great Video. I have some doubts about the hardware and the concept though.. No stereo output, if you want to Sync to another device? Only three bpm options? Pay another 99USD and use a computer just to be able to actually access the versatile sound engine? Ridiculously expensive accessories? It's a refreshingly different take on hardware design, but not a great value. For playing around i'd rather use an iPad App.

    @jimlampshady 6 років тому +1

    Hi there. Quick question for you Cuckoo - I was already a big PO-32 fan, then recently bought the Microtonic software, and, WOW. The sonic range of this little wonder is now mind-blowing. Some of the best fun to be had is playing the fx live. But now my taste for tweaking has been tempered, I was wondering if there is a way to tweak the fx? Or indeed install totally new ones? Because that would be awesome.

    • @jimlampshady
      @jimlampshady 6 років тому

      Guess this is not the way to contact you...

    • @truecuckoo
      @truecuckoo  6 років тому +1

      There are so many comments! I still read most, but I don’t reply to everything. And sometimes I just forget to reply.
      The FX part is locked, and cannot be changed. It’s actually tweaking the synthesis engine in real-time. They are not audio processing effects like on most other Pocket Operators.

    • @jimlampshady
      @jimlampshady 6 років тому

      Ah, pity. Thanks for getting back to me.

  • @danielgalis6644
    @danielgalis6644 7 років тому

    Hey Cuckoo! Love this video! So i am buying the PO-32 and Microtonic, and i'm planning on buying a Volca later to go with it for a (kinda) portable set up. Right now i am looking at the Keys and FM. Which one would suit it better? I mostly want to make mellow hip hop and would like some "spacey" sounds. I know they use a different kind of synthesis but for me it comes down to the sound. Thanks in advance! (sorry for my english i'm from Slovakia)

    • @truecuckoo
      @truecuckoo  7 років тому

      +Daniel Gális cool Daniel. Thanks. Spacey as in space invaders alien shootemup games? The FM is certainly capable of sort of alien sounds. But sometimes it's hard to make "normal" sounding keyboard sounds.

  • @gerasiom
    @gerasiom 6 років тому

    just a question: i would buy the po 20 arcade, i like it for its samples, but then i found all the samples ripped from a po 20 and ready to be imported on the po 32. So my question is: should i buy the po 20? or should i buy the po 32 importing the arcade samples? In this last option i could also import different sounds of other musical styles i like, this is why it sounds goods to me. Which would be the difference from a po 20 arcade and a po 32 with arcade sounds imported? maybe could i lose some features in the second option? thanks!

    @MrAndo 7 років тому

    Hey cuckoo, your videos made me fall in love with the pocket operators and i'd like to get one now, but I can't decide which one to get between the arcade and the tonic. I love the arcade sounds, but it's kinda limiting genre speaking while the tonic seems more versatile but it's also more expensive and I don't think i will be able to get microtonic as well (don't have much of a budget). Which one would you recommend?

    • @MrAndo

  • @eduardoperales6582
    @eduardoperales6582 6 років тому

    Why I can't use the keyboard of my Mac while I am using Microtonic? I mean, I need to select between the numbers 1 and 8 with the mouse instead of with the keyboard, and it's a mess 'cause it's slowly if I want to see how all the buttons work and at the same time I need to use the mouse to pick up the number of the drums noise. Thanks !!

    • @truecuckoo

      The PO-32 is a drum Synthesizer. It does not play samples. For samples the PO-33 is the one.
