Insert Coin... PO-12 / PO-16 / PO-20 / PO-28 & Making a PO Stand...

Published on Apr 9, 2017 Micro Banshee

"Track: Insert Coin...

I've recently picked up another two Pocket Operators, PO-28 Robot and PO-16 Factory, to go with my PO-20 Arcade & PO-12 Rhythm - the track uses my sequences from the Arcade and Rhythm and two pre-sets, one each from the Factory and Robot.

Also, a quick tutorial on how I create my PO- Stands.

A minimal set-up Jam, using 4 Pocket Operators and a Zoom recorder.

I hope you enjoy the track, if not, no worries.

Teenage Engineering Introduces PO-32 Tonic Pocket Operator

Uploaded on Jan 11, 2017 teenageengineering

"introducing pocket operator PO-32 tonic teenage engineering."

"We are extremely happy to announce PO-32 tonic – the next level pocket operator with built-in microphone and import / export functionality. PO-32 tonic is a powerful drum- and percussion synthesizer a result of a fruitful collaboration with magnus lidström of sonic charge, creator of award-winning audio plugins and the man behind the CWO effect in OP-1.unique to PO-32 tonic is its wide range of sonic capabilities, a fresh selection of new punch-in fx, a built-in microphone allowing direct transfer of sounds and pattern data between units, as well as the ability to allow users of the standard desktop version of microtonic to shape sounds, generate new patches and pattern data, and transfer this wirelessly back to the PO-32 tonic. for the first time pocket operator users can easily import, export and share their music with the world, opening up for unlimited potential.

via Ask.Audio

Update:

And the UI was created by her. :)

According to CDM:

"In place of drab text menus or something like that, the new Teenage Engineering PO-32 Tonic is … a little different. There are adorable characters with wide eyes and huge noses, quaffing cocktails. There’s a ringing telephone … with a mouse perhaps gnawing away at its end. There are spiders – various spiders.

No, I don’t mean the UI on the PO-32 display seems like it was drawn by a 9-year-old girl. It actually was.

Her name is Ivana, she really is nine years old, and she’s the daughter of Teenage Engineering CEO and founder (and whiz designer himself) Jesper Kouthoofd. And in pictures provided exclusively to CDM, we have proof that she designed the display. Talk about landing your dream job in the musical instruments industry early.

I think her creation is genius. And she probably sets some kind of record here."

Delta [C64] - on Teenage Engineering PO-28, PO-14 & PO-16

Published on Feb 14, 2016 tubesockor

"Here I do yet another live performance of a Commodore 64 SID classic: Delta, by Rob Hubbard from 1987.

Three Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators are used:
* PO-28 Robot: main lead, blips and drums.
* PO-14 Sub: bass and extra percussion.
* PO-16 Factory: secondary lead.

Both leads are played live, but some special tricks had to be done in order to overcome the "fixed scale" of the PO's, in this song that actually uses two scales. The PO-16 runs a few patterns where some notes on certain occasions are raised a half step. That way the range gets much wider.

Due to the 16-pattern limit of the PO-14 and PO-16 I had to break up the mid part and cut the parts together. Everything is done live though, so it's totally playable."

≈ Moedars ≈ PO-12 + TB-303 | PO-12 + OP-1 syncing demo

Published on Jan 26, 2015 Martijn Moedars

"I've just received my fresh PO-12 from France.

So first I clipped off the hanger, find a remote control for batteries and triggered it with the 606 low tom to see if C'est Possible. Le answer: Yep.

Because of the inspirational fun factor i've ended up making this video with my first (accidental) latinish PO-12 pattern.. some 303 patterns i've made last night, and sneaked in a bit of 606 in the mix.
And hé, while i was at it.. some own drawings to spice it up a bit.

PO-12: Bassdrum, ticky thing, hi-hat & dirty house bleep thingy
TR-606: snare
TB-303: just being a 303"

"day 2 with the PO-12.. checking out some syncing with the OP-1 mothership.

- Recorded the PO-12 click to the OP-1
- Then I've cropped it in to the synth engine.
- Playable clicky goes out to the PO-12
- PO-12 in slave function 4

free PO-33 kit: 80s drums (works for PO 133 as well)

video upload by CNTR RNDM

"I'm an 80s kid…and, dude, in my opinion, - even if I sound like an old fart now - there was no better time to be a kid than the 80s (and the 90s, maybe). I mean, dude, I spent my Saturdays lying on the floor of our living room making mixtapes. My parents had this huuuuuuge record collection and I would spend hours on end going through these records…Joy Division, The Cure, The Smiths, Prince, all that good stuff, you know. I mean, how cool is that? And I remember being all hyped up because my parents let me watch Wrestlemania 5…dude, Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage…can it get any better? And I sat there wearing both my Hulkamania shirt and my WW(F|E) Championship belt waving this silly foam finger in my dad's face like there was no tomorrow. Those were the days, my friend! Nintendo released the NES, Michael Jackson's Thriller came out, endless summer nights, countless barbecues…dude, seriously, how awesome were the 80s?

To honour this amazing decade, I made this PO-33 80s drum kit consisting of 15 one shot drum hits and 3 drum loops. I really just sampled a bunch of my old drum machines and layered the samples in Ableton to…well just because😂

You can download the FREE backup file here: https://cntrlldrndmnss.gumroad.com/l/...

All my samples and kits are copyright free - you can use them in your own productions, videos, whatever. The main thing is: have fun with this kit (or any of my other kits or packs)!!! If you make a cool track with one of my kits or sample packs, let me know!

If you want to know more about how to transfer data to your PO-33, please check this amazing data transfer tutorial by @Ollie Loops :"

PO-33 KO! How to Data Transfer!

video upload by Ollie Loops

"In this chapter of our series on the Teenage Engineering PO-33 KO!, we take a look at one of the more interesting features of the KO, the ability to data transfer to and from the unit. The KO has a feature where connecting a stereo 1/8" to 1/8" cable between the unit and an audio recorder allows you to download all of the samples and patterns in the unit. This allows you to swap samples and patterns without loosing your work. You then have a back up of your work. You can also transfer files directly between two KOs. Note: this also applies to the other Pocket Operators in the Metal Series, the PO-32 and PO-35.

Here is a direct link to the WAV file:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zeiv...

It is super important to get the right audio format when you record the data transfer. It must be a stereo 16 bit 44100 hz file format or better. The recording will likely fail if you deviant from this format."

New Frontier [Hubbard/Hall] - on Pocket Operators PO-20 & PO-28

Published on Nov 6, 2016 tubesockor

"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:
* 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 :)"

Live Korg Volca Jam 38 : Korg Volca, PO-12, Arturia Microbrute and MicroKorg.

Published on May 11, 2016 Todd Smith

"All the boys are in the same room with a new friend , the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator ‑ Rhythm (PO‑12) !! I took out the Volca Beats and replaced it with the PO-12 for this jam. I was busy learning the PO-12 so I left the Roland Boutique out of this jam.The Korg Volca Keys, Teenage Engineering PO-12 and Arturia Microbrute are all on sequencer duty.The Arturia Microbrute supplies the low end bass. The Korg Volca Keys handles the lead synth, while the Teenage Engineering PO-12 takes a test ride as drums, I switched between 3 patterns and practiced using chain mode live. The Microkorg and Korg Volca Bass are linked by midi and both are played live from the Microkorg. My main goal with this jam was to see how the Teenage Engineering PO-12 would fit into my setup. Ableton live was used as a multi tack recorder and added VST effects. Waves Supertap6 supplied the delay."

PO-33 & PO-28: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

tubesockor

"A live version of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' using the Teenage Engineering PO-33 K.O. loaded with the (soon-to-be-released) sound pack #16operators, plus some solo assistance from PO-28 Robot

I was invited to contribute to the PO-33 sample pack #16operators arranged by @AA Battery where 16 different creators supplied one sample (or kit). Then the purpose was to make one song using this pack as the main component.

In my case I used the PO-33 for almost everything, except the solo parts which are handled by the PO-28 Tonic. All recorded live in one take.

Used sounds from the pack:
* (...will be revealed when sound pack is released)

The sound pack was originally planned to be released before Christmas so I made a Christmas song, but was allowed to post this video as a little preview :)"

The Immortal [NES] - Live on PO-28 and PO-32 Pocket Operators #jamuary2018

Published on Jan 15, 2018 tubesockor

"Live performance of an in-game song from the NES (Nintendo Education System 8-bit) game "The Immortal", using two Pocket Operators PO-28 & PO-32 from Teenage Engineering.

Quickly jammed in one take so figured it would match the #jamuary2018 flow of videos :)

The game music was originally composed by Douglas Fulton for the Apple IIGS, but a number of ports were made and C64-hero Rob Hubbard arranged some of them for NES (which my version is based on).

The PO-32 takes care of the bass line and some percussion (all sounds were created in Microtonic and then transferred to the PO). The PO-28 handles live playing and background melody."

Pocket Operators play Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country)

Published on Jun 9, 2018 0F.digital

"I made a cover of Aquatic Ambience from Donkey Kong Country using the PO-33 and PO-35. It took me a while to learn how to play the melodies live, and I still didn't get it quite right! Hope it isn't too jarring.

All sounds are from Nord Lead, compressed and edited quite heavily in order to fit them on the PO-33 and still sound good. The PO-35 is only being used for lead (sounds also from the Nord!) in this video.

If you like, you can purchase the pattern and sound data for the PO-33 part of this track at the following link:
https://gum.co/EuYEw

PO-33 is running through a Behringer RV600, and PO-35 is running through a Behringer EM600. Both treated with some EQ and compression in Reaper. The raw audio was nice, but I think the effects really made the sounds come alive. I highly recommend using the Pocket Operators with pedals!

Special thanks to 8-bit Music Theory for the very helpful video featuring this track. Without it I wouldn't have been able to get the chords just right! Check it out:

Nova Musik - Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators with Oscar Ahlgren at NAMM 2015

Published on Jan 28, 2015 Nova Musik

"Check out great deals on Teenage Engineering products at Nova Musik: http://www.novamusik.com/teenage-engi...

Oscar Ahlgren, Development Project Manager for the Pocket Operators project at Teenage Engineering, gives us a quick overview of the PO-16 Factory, PO-14 Sub and PO-12 Rhythm lead, bass and drum synthesizers.

Pocket Operators all feature onboard 16-step sequencers with parameter locks and 'jam sync with audio through' functionality, where a single cable synchronizes clock and transport across PO units while also summing their audio outputs.

PO-12 Rhythm has both synthesized and sampled drum sounds, and its sequencer supports individual step retries and fills.

PO-14 Sub houses multiple real synthesizer engines, including FM, subtractive synthesis, wavetable and physical modeled strings. Its sequencer comes equipped with 16 'punch-in bass oriented play styles.'

PO-16 Factory, too, has multiple real synthesizer engines, including FM, subtractive synthesis, wavetable and physical modeled strings. Its sequencer has 16 punch-in arpeggio and chord play styles.

All three Pocket Operators have 16 onboard effects including delay, bitcrusher and filters. Each also has an auto compressor and hardware limiter."

Synth Jams by Jay Hosking

Published on Jul 26, 2019 Jay Hosking

Spotted the first video in the playlist above on discchord.com. The Playlist contains 21 videos. You can use the player controls to skip around. Descriptions for each are below. All videos feature various gear so you should be able to get an idea of some of the capabilities of each featured. You can check out Jay Hosking's music at https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com/.

Note, more will likely get added over time. The following playlist is as of this post:

1. Jam w/ Vermona PERfourMER MkII, Elektron Analog Rytm MkII, OTO Bam, Styrmon Big Sky, Fugue Machine

A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by some pretty tough news that has me sentimental.

I loved the Elektron Analog Four MkII so much that I picked up the Analog Rytm MkII. My feelings on the Rytm are mixed. On the one hand, it's missing that spontaneity and spark of units like the Arturia DrumBrute Impact and Teenage Engineering OP-Z, with no readymade performance effects, roller bar, or global randomization, and a slower workflow. On the other hand, I really like its analogue sound engines, any unused tracks can be converted into impressive analogue mono synths, it does beautiful things to samples, and like all Elektron boxes it integrates the effects into the sequencer really nicely.

As for the Vermona PERfourMER MkII, I'd been pining over it for ages, and it was fun to finally tinker with it. The Perfourmer definitely excels in the mid- and high- range, and I love how the independent voices making really interesting voices for chords.

Vermona PERfourMER MkII + OTO Bam — Three synths (left chord note, right chord note, melody)
Vermona PERfourMER MkII + Strymon Big Sky — Bass chord note synth
Elektron Analog Rytm MkII — Drums, samples, sample melody, punchy bass
Fugue Machine (iOS) — Sequencing
IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo — MIDI out from iOS

Written and performed within a 24-hour period, and uploaded as is, with only a little sidechain compression on the Perfourmer (to emphasize the sound that the Rytm was already making), and compression/limiting on the master.
