FIVE Reasons the PO-33 is Still Great in 2024!

FIVE Reasons the PO-33 is Still Great in 2024!

The PO-33 KO is one of the most affordable hardware samplers on the market, and in my opinion, it's one of the greatest! Even now in 2024, the PO-33 holds it's own against it's competition, and today I'm going to share five reasons why! Enjoy the video :)

Thank you for the shout out! 🙌🏻I was wondering where my uptick in subscribers came from! I still love my PO 33 and if I ever need to make a quick beat or have an idea, it is the first thing I reach for!

Po33 is my first and still my only equipment that got me into electronic music too. I've now have a sound cloud account and posted my first song in April. Love it and keeps me from getting depressed out here on the streets.

The K.O! was the first device I fell in love with and it’s still one of my favorite devices to play around on…very well designed and once you understand the workflow it’s actually really easy to use. And yes, “RUN, ITS GODZILLA!” is probably still one of the best PO-33 sketches!

Yeah great little sampler - had soooo much fun over the years and some good tips in the video thanks🥰

I am happy that TE seems to go back to the roots with the EP series, which seem like "Pocket Operator Premium Deluxe" devices. Not quite as pocket and not quite as cheap, but they really seem like spiritual successors, especially if they keep doing wacky stuff with it.

[shpongled]

Blows my mind you got that many subs with all the pocket TE talk throughout the ears.

[GwazaJuse]

i learnt a lot in this video. i didn't know you could change the filter or length of the sound when it was already sequenced. thank you

[jtrace-]

ABSOLUTELY 🍺...Cheers to You and Lady FreeBeat🍹.

[Teddyrobinson]

My secret wish is that it had high quality audio. Aside from that it's perfection

[Death_Rave]

Even after the many new TE products, I don't think I'll ever put my KO down, it's just way too fun. I literally cooked up a banger while watching this vid for new years 😂

[AlexanderShelestov]

It's not just PO-33, it's because you're a talented MF! Thanks for inspiring us!

[RetroPlus]

Really great demonstration, i love what you do with this

[veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Dibiase is amazing on these lil beat boxes too.

[LetrakLofi]

Very interesting video! Thank you free beat!

[TrickmanTerry]

The immediacy of the PO-33 is it's best feature. Shout out to the PO-35 - Speak, for the same reason.

Hello FreeBeat 💥 ho yes po-33 KO is fantastique

[wiggesobk]

Yes i still love my PO-33. You're so right on point 5.

[Buttafingaz]

This looks like fun! I might consider getting one

[gutsberserker]

Po-33 is an awesome device, I brought a Woovbox recently hoping it will be similar. Totally different, not easy to pick up and jam

When I saw your video on playing any note on the PO-14 Sub and PO-16 Factory I got curious and found I can do it on my PO-33 KO also. In performance mode the pitch control will change the pitch by semitones so you can sharpen or flatten the entire keypad and after entering your note then return the pitch control to center. It works in edit mode or live. I am expecting a PO-17 tomorrow and am curious to see if the same trick works for it. I'll let you all know. I like the fact that the Factory and the Sub show the note name as you change the pitch. Wish the K.O. did that rather than showing the button number. I suppose it makes sense since it is a sampler, and samples can be any pitch. I wonder if the Factory will show names of semitones in performance mode. I like to do stuff using the blues scale and luckily the blues scale is naturally available on the Pocket Operators. That was my reason for trying to play semitones on the PO. I didn't realize the blues scale was available to me already. I own a flock of Volcas and these POs are my favorite. The ability to chain sequences into a full-length song is what the Volcas lack. These POs are nothing short of amazing!
Thank you for all you do!
