The KO! has returned for some more beat making goodness. In this video, we show you how to make a beat using the PO-33 KO! The step sequencer on the KO is fairly flexible, allowing you to program steps into the 16 step sequencer, or record them in live. There are 16 patterns in the unit which can be chained together to create a song. In this video, we walk you through making a beat from the hi hats, claps, kicks, and melody. We also show you have to create variations in your beat by creating multiple patterns in the theme of the song, including intro, main part, bridge and drum breakdown.

I watched another tutorial/presentation video of the K.O. where my (otherwise quite enthusiatic) guy put in some semi-random drums and said "Yeah, okay, not that nice, but it's a pocket operator, so what did you expect?" This. This is what I gone did expect! Something deep. Something native and brutal. Or I would have bought a flute. Excellent demo.

You need to get a few of the other pocket operators. Mixing and matching is half the fun. They save my life abroad. Throw a few pocket operators and monotron delay in my carry-on and jam on the flight or in the hotel. Depending on what you're looking for I could recommend a few of them.

@user-zi5rs1by7b 5 лет назад

@@OllieLoops They all do different things and have totally different sounds and effects. Other than the KO, one that is fun to play with just by itself is the po-20 Arcade. The KO kind of ties them all together with the drum kits and sampling capabilities. I recommend checking out the website and watching a few videos to look at the features of all of them to see which one you want to play with the most.

@DaCashRap 4 года назад

You got time divisions confused a little. PO-33 has 16 steps of 1 measure (1bar), which makes every pad a 16th. So, divided into 4, we get quarter notes.

@florriemccarthy9347 4 года назад

This is such a great video and I am loving your content. But anyone learning music theory might be confused! U made some mistakes with the notes - when you were first talking about the one, five and six you were playing one, four and five, and the scale you played didn't match the notes - but please dont take this negatively, just letting you know. 🤗

@OllieLoops 4 года назад

Thanks for your comment. I am interested to hear more about what you mean. When you say I'm playing the I, IV, V, are you speaking about the notes themselves or the button presses on the device? I guess I'm confused because I thought I was playing I, V, and VI according the button presses on the device. But I don't play piano and I'm not an expert on music theory.

@florriemccarthy9347 4 года назад

@@OllieLoops So, at 5:00 when you were playing what you called the I and the V - although they would be G# and D# in the scale, as you have rightly labelled, the notes you were playing were G# and C# which are the I and the IV of that scale. Now, that's if we're still in G#. If you listen closely, the root note that you're playing then, talking about the scale, is not actually the same pitch as the note you sampled from your phone. You bent it down to D#/Eb, which is where I believe your second problem comes from - the scale that you played, while correctly labelled (and impressively so, I struggled with why F## existed for a while), the notes you play, and the intervals between them, don't actually adhere to the notes you annotated on the screen at all. It actually wasn't any scale - if you were still talking in G#, the notes you played were G#, A, B, C, C#, D#, F, F#. I believe this might be because you sampled in a whole scale and bending the pitch also morphed the intervals between the notes? Unless you sampled in one note and messed up the buttons on the device. Either way, just me being pedantic, although I hope this helps whoever may be confused, including yourself! Have a good day :)

@OllieLoops 4 года назад

@@florriemccarthy9347 Thanks for your thorough reply. Lets see if we can get down to the bottom of this. I don't recall bending the note. The filter cut off and resonance were adjusted in the video. But that's not what you were detecting, more on that in a moment. G# was sampled into the melodic section of the KO. The melodic section of the KO is set to Harmonic Minor Scale and takes a single sample and spreads it across the steps of the KO. For information about that, check out this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jCawkhMOCvI.html). Thus, the scale of the notes should be as noted G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E, F##. And to make this more confusing TE modified the scale to add an extra note to work between with the 16 steps of the KO. Further, the root key of the scale begins on step 5 and again on step 13. Now, here is where the problem lies and I think its why you're ear is detecting an issue. Looking carefully at the footage, I see that note 9 was pressed instead of not 5. So the notes being played started on D#, you are correct and you must have perfect pitch. So, I believe I was playing V, I, II instead of what was mentioned in the video. My apologies for any confusion. Let me know if that makes sense.

@MatthewQuinn 4 года назад

Where did you learn all the stuff about claps and perceived speed, notes creating closure or tension etc (the music theory) I can technically work the KO without issue but the beats are rudimental and lack finesse, the schooling is what I think it's lacking.

@OllieLoops 4 года назад

Hey, thanks for your comment. I can't say there was a singular source for learning music theory. But I read lots of books. I study and learn from wherever I can. One recommendation is to try to recreate songs that you like, you'll learn a lot by just doing that.

Sorry, super noob

@OllieLoops 5 лет назад

Wasteland hey, I’ll try to help. I’m assuming your on a desktop, not a laptop, correct? If so, here’s what I would recommend. On the ko, connect an 1/8” stereo cable to the output (right side). Adjust the volume out of the ko to be between 12-16. Connect the other end of the cable to the line into on your display monitors. Adjust the volume on your display so you can hear it properly. That should do it. In theory, you shouldn’t need to adjust the settings on the computer. Let me know if that helps.

Wait so i can overlap patterns?

@OllieLoops 8 месяцев назад

Not patterns, but sounds. Each sound bank has its own pattern which plays with the rest of the sounds to make up the current pattern. Hope that makes sense.

@UnoShots 8 месяцев назад

So I don't understand how you got the pick slide to play once. You mentioned pattern building and I don't quite understand how your doing that part.

@OllieLoops 8 месяцев назад

@@UnoShots It sounds like you want to chain patterns together where one pattern plays after another in a sequence. To Chain Patterns: 1. Press & Hold the PATTERN button. 2. Press step buttons 1-16 to select the first pattern in your sequence. 3. While still holding PATTERN, repeat step 2 to add additional patterns to the sequence. 4. When finished, release PATTERN and press PLAY to play the sequence (pattern chain). Additional Notes: - Pressing a step button more than once will repeat that pattern - up to 128 patterns can be chained into a sequence. In the video, the guitar slide sound was triggered on step 1 of a pattern. It was then sequenced (chained) to play once at the beginning of the song. Hope that helps.

@Jonny_Accidental 5 лет назад

So I must be doing something wrong here, as when I get to 3:20, these over-write the hi-hats from the previous steps. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I must be in some sort of setting that only allows one sound per step?

@OllieLoops 5 лет назад

Hey, thanks for your comment. So in this example, the hi-hats were programmed on sound slot #15 and the kick drum was programmed on slot #13. So they should not overwrite each other as they are programmed independently. If I recall correctly, each sound slot is monophonic. But separating your drum kit sounds into separate sound slots allows you to program them polyphonically. Additionally, I've noticed there is some hierarchy or glitch between the sound slots that results in some sounds not playing occasionally. This would leave me to believe there is a limit to the polyphony of the sounds being played back. In my tests, I got several to play at once. But randomly, I noticed some sounds would get cut off at times. Further research needs to be done on this topic. I hope that helps!
