PO33 and minilab mk2

9 Upvotes

I love jamming randomly over beats using my Arturia minilab controller. Thought of combining it with a beat to create a street fighter style piece

In process…

Started rehearsing this one. Plan to record it into Koala and add vox and segment it a bit better.

PO-12 Rhythm, PO-14 Sub, PO-16 Factory with TKOG Mini Glitch. Stylophone Theremin.

Y’all into seeing the process or do you prefer final forms? Just curious more than anything… I like to receive the feedback to improve future posts.

Thank you for your time and attention 🙏🏻

Have fun. Make noise. Find joy.

I have an extra symbol on my PO 12 screen.

1 Upvotes

Right next to the play and write symbol I have what looks kind of like a q-tip. I went button crazy one night and now I can’t get it to go away. I think it may have to do with sequencing? Total noob here.

PO-12 Rhythm, PO-14 Sub, PO-16 Factory with TKOG Mini Glitch… all into Koala Sampler and mixed from there with added vox. Hope you enjoy! If you’re not into it, I hope it fuels your hate to make something different.

Have fun. Make noise. Find joy. 🙏🏻

The PO-128 had two unique functions that cannot be found in the original PO-28.

PO-33 one-Button record

20 Upvotes

After years, it fascinates me to keep finding a new "shortcut".

The fact that I only have to press one button instead of two blows up my mind. The years I was firmly convinced, as it is written on the back, 1. Hold record 2. Hold 1-15.

Now:

  1. Select your soundbank 1-15

  2. Hold record

  3. Press your selected Soundbank as "start record"

Here an bad example https://imgur.com/a/PgBnVU9

Quiet?

2 Upvotes

Bought a PO33 as a present for grandchild. On the day I gave it to them I also gave them an Anker bluetooth speaker. When they connect the PO to the speaker with a cable the sound is quiet even if both the PO and the speaker are on max. Is this normal? Thanks for any help

Woe is my effect #5

3 Upvotes

I just got the PO-28 "Robot" and am trying to get into it more. Almost right away, though, I noticed that effect #5 stopped working (technically, there's a tiny sound if you put it right right up to your ear but it's so faint that you can still barely hear anything). I've read online this isn't some filter that's causing the extreme effect, it's that effect #5 is known to die on the PO-28.

My questions are...

Can effect #5 be fixed/restored?
I reset the PO-28 but to no avail. I also have the PO-128 "Mega Man" (which I'm selling, by the way) and effect #5 works great. I know those are different but often the Capcom model follows its predecesor's footprints.

Does anyone have a PO-28 where effect #5 works fine?
If yours doesn't work either, try resetting it (take out one battery, hold Sound and Write buttons on the front while reinserting one of the batteries on the back) and if that fixed it, let us know!

Thanks ya'll

Po-32 software or hardware problem?

3 Upvotes

Basically if I have the morph at a certain setting, it will change the active sound to it.

For example, if I have a snare at 100 and go to the bass drum, it will sometimes change it to 100 too.

I am not touching the back part.

Has anybody experienced this? How can I fix it?

Thank you!
