PO on the FM-1!

Thumbnail devrvega.github.io
26 Upvotes

I got a m vave FM-1 to play along with and sample into my PO-33.

As soon as the community firmwares started coming out for the FM-1 I wondered (and hoped) someone would create a pocket operator style workflow for it. But someone has gone one step further and made the FM-1 display and function feel just like a PO :) You can even have a play on the emulator linked.

Not my work, just sharing as others here may well have picked up a FM-1 and not yet seen this firmware. And as a thanks to the dev who has done a great job with this (it's working perfectly on my device).

First 8 bars feedback

I’m new to making beats and I’m learning the PO-33 workflows. Any feedback is welcome. These are the first 8 bars of a track I’m creating. I am sort of experimenting and just seeing where it goes, though I have some ideas in mind. I’ve been wondering if the violin sample overwhelms the drums?

I finally slapped together a rack of 3 pieces I love. PO 33 is a no brainer, HiChord is just awesome and I love it and FM1 is so much fun with all the firmware coming out. 4th channel is reserved for my guitar.
Maybe i’ll add a switch to be able to sample from synths easily.

App Pocket Operator for Pixel

9 Upvotes

I have been interested in this product a few months ago but have not purchased it yet. Some days ago I found out that exists the Pocket Operator app for Pixel phones.

Fortunately I have a Pixel smartphone so I also started using this product, even if in the virtual version.

I made this post just to inform those who were not aware of it. Have fun!

Made a new one last night, which started as a sample of the first bass note in this by 70s UK punk band Crass.

Been having a few creative blocks of late with the PO33, so happy to finally get something out.

I just need a name for it.... suggestions welcome.

Hope you like it.

By all means don’t think I am any good at making coherent beats but I’m really just having a blast learning and enjoying the po33!

Po33 sound through bitrate

1 Upvotes

While pushing sound (from arturia microfreak) through the po33 via line in - line out, does the sound get degraded to Po33's 8-bit quality? Or the sound passes through, maintaining it own bitrate?

In other words, is the line-in - line out a true through, or it gets put through po33's processing?

Just got the fm-1, been messing with the different firmwares and this thing so capable! I love powerful mini music gear that can lend itself to a quick workflow muahahaahaa 😈 (nah but it does feel like a little evil duo paired with the PO33)

Low audio recording

Anyone know why the volume seems so low when I'm recording. And yes I turned it up. Everything is maxed out. But it is barely picking it up, with lots of feedback.


r/pocketoperators • • 8d ago

I created a case for the OP33—which is also compatible with other models in the same series—and listed it for sale on Cults3D. I’d like to select five people to test it and give me feedback on how it performs

Unfortunately, all the flaws you see in the video are due to my beloved Ender 3, which has been begging to finally be retired for quite some time now.
