"The BPM button will change your volume" sums it up perfectly

Please don't ever take this video down because I'm going to need it every time I use that thing.

10:55 “Don’t do it. Be weird. Have fun. Do stuff.” - Love that! Thanks for the great video Ricky!

Getting this for my 12yo soon to be step son for Christmas. He has Asperger's and loves EDM and video games. I am going to be showing this video to him so he can learn how to use it properly. Thanks for posting this!

The chord button with side chain sold me. Just ordered mine.

@walnawk 3 года назад

I learned more about the PO20 in your ten minutes instruction video than any other PO20 10 minute videos. So, thank you for making a great video.

@baronvoncardo 4 года назад

Man... I've spent a couple hours with mine and learned most of what you clearly explained in under fifteen minutes. Wish I had watched this right out of the gate. Well done...

@zorbanongreco 3 года назад

"be weird, have fun and do stuff " 😀Thanks Ricky, once again a really great lesson .🐂💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

@mickypoo4622 5 лет назад

It's great that you took the time to go through all of the PO features and explain them so clearly, especially as you were new to them yourself. To quote Richard Bach, "You teach best what you most need to learn". I have the Korg Volca Keys and Sample and they are a little more sophisticated than the POs, BUT I know that the POs can be synced to the Volcas, so endless possibilities there. They are surely nifty little creative devices and so portable, rather like the Volcas (and less expensive too). Many thanks and please keep up the good work.

@darkbit4603 4 года назад

Been eye-opening to me. I just ordered one and I'm so hyped!

@Drsnoogens 6 лет назад

After this tutorial I am sold, can't wait to groove with this! Thank you for the great tutorial.

@jori2006 5 лет назад

love love love this one for the CHORD function. No other PO has this afaik and this makes this the best one to use live. Also the possibility of changing the pattern and parameters while it's playing is great.

@Alsifnrbdvehrj 3 года назад

Yeah the chords are the best

@kaisiljander1060 5 лет назад

Just got my arcade, first PO, delivered last night and have been messing around with it a lot. Even after reading the extended guide on the teenage engineering site, this really helped fill in some gaps. Thank you!

@mickypoo4622 4 года назад

This is indeed an amazing gadget and the best PO I have seen so far. Thanks for the brilliant tutorial, so well explained and easy to follow. It impressed me so much that I just bought myself a PO-20 for Christmas, so now I'm having fun learning how to use it! Result :)))

@angusblankenstein99 2 года назад

This is brilliant. My cousin lent me his one and the instructions are useless for actually trying to make a tune with it. This has enabled me to actually create something fun.

@Sweeperz 4 года назад

Oh man I can't decide between this or the PO-33. I'm completely new to the hobby but I can totally see myself getting lost in it as soon as I get my hands on one of these POs.

@TritoneSub88 4 года назад

Saw the coffee shots in the intro and thought "wait a minute... this dude is a HIPSTER". That being said Ricky, man, I absolutely love you. I just found your channel yesterday and your videos are GREAT

@RickyTinez 4 года назад

LOL, Thanks Kai, you'll see in my more recent videos the Coffee is gone :X Thats a vintage intro! I appreciate the support bro.

@baconsledge 3 года назад

This I thought was more instructive than the PO-33 K.O. video which was confusing-keystroke-hell. I think I am *starting* to understand the underlying logic. Thank you!

Check the Arcade running into Korg NTS-1 for extra deep weird:)Thanks for all the help along the way.

@NorthGameStudio 5 лет назад

This tutorial was awesome! Will you be doing a compact creation with po-12 and po-20?

@Futonmon 3 года назад

Great tutorial. First time with a Pocket Operator (or any synth, for that matter). Pretty much copied your tune verbatim, just to follow along and make some sense of it. Highly recommend video this for anyone just starting out with the PO-20.

@bagoftrix 4 года назад

I got the po-33 and op-1 this month and now I want this one too 😂

Hello! Thanks for the tutorial, i got one of this for father's day and am already having a lot of fun. I have a question, do you know if there is a way to have less than 16 steps? Thanks again!

@godspeedapollo69 5 лет назад

Super well done video man. Love your interpretation, what’s your favorite PO out of the ones you have tried?

@RickyTinez 5 лет назад

KO for sure

This has about five times the amount of features of a Volca and I'm impressed.

@thepanch7246 9 месяцев назад

I have just discovered this tiny beast and I’m amazed by it. Your overview it’s been really helpful. Anyway I have a doubt about chords lenght. By default, any chord lasts, at least, the complete pattern. That’s 16 beats. Is there any way to change the lenght of the chords so that I can change them every 8 or 4 beats? Thanks a lot

@jmmesaaudio 4 года назад

Hi! Nice Video, I get 3 PO today :) It´s posibble to save a pattern and use it after PO 20 turns off?

@keyacsta7611 3 года назад

Ricky, is there any way to have the drone effect start at the beginning of your song once you press play?

@MrKeys57 4 года назад

Can the arpeggiator be recorded? - and can the tones/movement of the arpeggiator be changed? thanks for nice demo! Levi in sweden

@juangsantos 3 года назад

@Ricky Tinez So I got the arcade, and I have two questions. Since I have a MacBook laptop and no actual interface(and I'm sort of new to music) what are some options to transfer music to my MacBook, and how do I start a new project? When I hold Chord and hit pattern, I still have the previous pattern I made.

@bagoftrix 3 года назад

Can you use the arp by itself? I’m thinking of sampling them going through a delay as nice one shots to add to a beat. But it seems to be an effect based on the pattern, is it ‘isolatable’?

@TornacenseDeFuturo 5 лет назад

First, I want to say thank you for the great review! I'm new in creating music, and I want to record this cool 8bit/chiptune music, and I was looking for something and found your video. Could you please tell me which VST can create those sounds with a MIDI keyboard? I would like to use the keys of the MIDI and have those cool sounds the PO-20 Arcade can make :)

@kodakai9740 5 лет назад

Check this out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FwMTnfSNx4A.html I havent produced chiptune but theres lots of options to recreate it. You could also grab an audio interface and record the audio directly out of one of these po units. Good luck on your musical journey. Also download the Magical8bit plugin. Its used alot by people who do nes/chiptune music.

@clivehandforth3531 5 лет назад

Dang thats cool

@kabelton 3 года назад

Hi, is it possible to use chords without any other sounds playing? Is it possible to use that sidechain compressor fx on chords without having the bassdrum playing? Thanks a lot.

@killslay 5 лет назад

Thanks for the tutorial. I really want one of these but I'm a complete musical ignoramus, this helped clear some confusion up. Can't wait to start fiddling around on my down time. How tough are they? Is the case a real must?

@jori2006 5 лет назад

these things are surprisingly sturdy. I played the Arcade in a lot of gigs, and after a while some buttons need a stronger push than in the beginning. I use glove to not sweat up the back side too much. Case not a must.
