Best sampler for the price! It does what many 300-400$ sampling devices don't, while being the size of a calculator; and the sequencer is insane!

I feel like most people buy these, play on them for a week and then forget about them. You keep pulling me back to my KO man thank you!

The comment is so true. The problem is the interface. But what can we expect with something so small and portable. Once you put it away for a week or so returning to it becomes more and more of a barrier as we tend to forget what each button does. Eventually these things tend to made it back on ebay. At least it did for me.

Ricky in my humble unasked for opinion you are the most legit of all these people who make gear videos because i feel like they are not just gear vids but rather you just hanging out with your followers. I respect that and is why you remain one of the only people i subscribe to for my gear vids

"I wish this cable provided all the sounds I was gonna use." Lol someone actually made a synth that's just a MIDI dongle with an output, it's got a tiny sound engine inside of it.

The Yamaha reface DX promo video made coffee + production cringe (i kid)

That final sequence you made...bro....you got me sad that we can’t all be in a crowded, dingy room at 4am

One trick that helps counterbalance that obnoxious knob sensitivity is to keep your drum samples limited to 4-8 sounds. You have to go back and manually adjust the parameters after you copy the sample over to the rhythm bank (but that usually needs to be done anyway). This way, the slicing interface becomes becomes 2-4x easier to handle.

No shame in that adapter game. Remember the days of the stacks of books behind the PC to hold up the 2 foot dongle chain?

Ngl sometimes I put on your videos in the background because you're so soothing and passionate while making dope beats. I wish I could just listen to like an hour or two of your messing with your gear.

I do the same! I'm not really into... uhhhh... "any" sort of normal dance music so I like it when Ricky gets a little freaky! He grabs / makes such great sounds and manipulates them into different things which I love and it's satisfying to hear

This thing has honestly been my favorite tool for music production. It bridges the gap of translating your ideas on the spot that I think many artists struggle with when using a DAW. Theres absolutely no limitations to this thing, with enough practice you can: make an entire track using one pattern. Make odd time signature beats. Do simple delay effects. Break the 4-voice limit by layering your samples. Straight up write tracks with more than 4 voices and get glitchy/cool results. Crank sounds for distortion/saturation. Custom FX like fm,reverb,distortion by sampling multiple versions of the same sound. This thing is an absolute beast of a tool. You never stop learning new tricks with it!

What do you think about it compared with Dirtywave M8?

Ricky, I listened to your Spotify channel last night for the first time. I absolutely love your music b/c you are NOT overplaying, and b/c I like the genre. It's perfectly minimal/tasteful. I look forward to attending a live show in So Cal once the pandemic is over. Will introduce myself as the guy who left this comment.

Hell yea! Thanks for taking the time to check the tracks out. Super appreciate it and I’m looking forward to that day

The tip about not-having-2-hold-the-slot-number -button-during-sampling is nothing but a *revolution*! Wish i knew that earlier. Thanks for another nice PO vid Ricky, can't give these little machines enough love. 👌🏻

I've been having a lot of fun lately sampling back and forth between my PO33 and a 4 track cassette loop through my Zen Delay. Such a fun setup!

Love these KO track videos. Had to dust mine off real quick. I gotta say, one of the best investments I have ever made. Thanks for the inspo Ricky!

I love your approach, just like "sure" when finding sounds and patterns. Very inspiring, just go for it!

Gotta say your PO videos helped me with all of my future loops and beats years ago. Thank you for all that you do! ☮️

I *always* find myself coming back to this video for inspiration. It's crazy how effective keeping it simple can be. This whole channel gets me through inspiration brain fog.

Every time I see you use the PO33, I want one, so much. Probably get one for Xmas for myself. Thanks for the inspirations.

You nailed that tutorial. I've watched your vids for a few years and I've just subscribed. Keep doing what you are doing. I've got a Po33 and I love it and want to know more. This videos to me is where Masters At Work start their tunes. Amazing rhythms and low fi sampling ideas. Thank you. Ricky

This jam is awesome! Probably my favourite sounds I've heard you create. Big up Ricky!

Thanks Ricky. Bought one a few weeks ago and been learning from all your past tutorials. So cool.

I’m always a fan of Ricky on the PO-33! I love making house grooves on the PO-33! It’s immediate fun!

Just got the po33 for one of my first synths. It definetly is user friendly and helps me understand music production a little more. Very cool device

Love love love, this video. I've just learnt so much. I had no idea you can record effect changes on the fly. Press and hold write has just changed everything. Thanks bud 👍

Thanks for the vibes, Ricky. Love your PO33 use. Inspiring :)

This is awesome! Love that little thing! I am considering buying it. I love the creative way of work and the endless possibilities even if the sound quality is lo-fi. I still love the sounds of it. Love your channel. 😊

Phoea Ricky my man. I can't tell you how much i've started to appreciated your video's. Like someone said here before on the channel. Its the perfect combo between learning and entertainment and most importantly it really really makes me want but also actually makes me make and do more music. Next to that the way your video's are made and your personal presence have something calming in it which i really like and appreciate. Long story short: THANK YOU!

I get a lot of satisfaction from watching you talk about gear. Great channel dude.

Love your PO-33 work my man. This process is so good

After not using it for months, this has inspired my to grab the KO again. Great video!

Incredible as always, your songs are super groovy, you are really a source of inspiration for me, I'm going my Po-33 is waiting for me it's thanks to you! Thanks Ricky🔥🎶🖖🏻

The knobs are super easy to replace on the most of the PO's for anyone with basic solder experience. Just a few chunky thru-hole solder points. On the KO/Speak/Tonic, there's a chip hiding under the knobs so you have to be more careful with the heat, but it's more tedious than hard. But I'd practice on an Arcade or something first. Better knobs can be found on Mouser, etc. I ordered: Mouser #:688-RK09L1140A66 ... SO MUCH BETTER CONTROL. Like many things with TE, wish they'd spent an extra $0.20, but I know you have to hit your price bracket somehow.

So happy you brought it back, I always enjoy your PO33 videos! Would love a sample pack for it by you

That filter has no business sounding so nice. Awesome track!!

Feels like some of the old videos that got me into your channel and also getting my own PO! The coffee shot was a throwback lol

Watching this video made me break out my Pocket Operator 33 and 12, had a little jam sesh. Thanks for the inspiration Ricky!

Ive been looking for some sort of entry level sampler for ages and I think you just sold me on this one!

Loved my PO33 for about a day. Couldn't upload the track I made so it's still sitting preserved on the machine 2 years later.

I’ve just been searching for some jams. Perfect timing

You're a chill dude and the video is cool and instructive! Smooth beat. I have th PO 12 and 35 but I want the 33 too.

Love it when he gets the PO out! This is very cool.

You have been such an inspiration, thank you for getting me started.

"It was not" was written on the screen as I said it. It cracked me up! Great video!

New glasses look great! Also it's cool to see the 1k back on the desk - Hope it shows up soon~

That tail end groove was too good!

Thank you Ricky, you are a great teacher, helped me make some sweet beats, very inspiring. Much love.

Nice! There’s so many videos of ppl saying they love the PO-33, but not that many where they actually create anything mildly interesting with it.

Nice I got here early! Love your videos Ricky, you always inspire and motivate me to create music in new and unexpected ways. Keep doing what you do, I love it. Also, to anyone on the fence about a po-33, definitely worth it for the money.

That was amazing cheers. Just goes to show in the right hand's anything is possible thanks, Ricky.

That was very fun, thanks. Currently waiting for mine to be delivered before going off to Wales for Christmas. Merry Christmas!

I damn love your videos man. And the vibe you create. 🤙

Loving it once again! Thanks for the inspiration!

Dude you very make me moove myself in the studio in my lazy times, thanks

Your method of pattern sorting is really good idea!

Nice work as usual !!!!!!!

Dope video Ricky! Just checked out your merch shop and picked up the Xpander sample pack and a Acid64 shirt! Keep up the good vibes bro🙏🏼

Dope video Rick!

House Music Wizard! I mean I am not sure I'm a fan of the sound of this device, but what you come up with on it is sooo dope!

Did Ricky just give me permission to sample his videos? :o Well now he's given me reason to go re-watch everything I guess.

Very cool, really like how you use that little machine 👏👏👏 Bravissimo 👍

In every Ricky T. vid, you know it’s about to get real when the headphones come out

Awesome work!

If you dont watch the video but listen till half way mark you forget hes working on a toyish machine. So freaking dope what people can make music with

I bought my PO-33 from a friend who put the extra earphone covers he had lying around (the little rubber things that you put on it to match your ear size?) on the knobs and it actually helps a lot with handling them!
