    So, I bought a PO-12, and this is the first video I landed on when learning how to use it... and I was immediately like "oh crap that's the dude who just gave that sweet NI SL MK III demo last week!" Glad to see you have a channel, this video was great, and you have a fantastic presentation style.

  • @Heronbird
    @Heronbird Před 5 lety +17

    Here’s why I love your videos Enrique... I feel like they are beautifully presented, very nicely narrated and most of all they are so “followable”.. never to I think: there’s no way I can do this or learn how to do this. You always leave me thinking I can totally improve and you make me remember it is all meant to be fun! Please keep making videos and inspiring us all!!

    • @howardanderson3061
      @howardanderson3061 Před 5 lety

      I agree with you on every point, Enrique's production values are very high. He would probably could be a great film maker and he would write the music as well...ditto on the inspiration!

  • @medmondsr
    @medmondsr Před 4 lety

    Love all of your videos! Super easy to watch and you look into a lot of cool gear. You should consider making more videos on how to make different types of songs or beats on different devices, especially the PO series. Would love more intermediate - expert level stuff like when you connected them to the mono station

    00:55 "...see which one's right for you". LOL, these things are dope! I;m beginning to think... all! I started with PO-33/35... Now you sold me on the 12. Have also snagged the "Sub" (PO-14), "Arcade"(PO-20), and the "Office" (PO-24). These things are truly AMAZING, and very inspirational really. And Your vids are super helpful, and you're a great teacher bro. (I have a masters in education, so I know a good prof when I see one!) You rule, P.O. Jedi Master level! Thank You. Peace.

  • @two_hum8489
    @two_hum8489 Před 5 lety +1

    I read on a forum, think it was Operator one and they said you could pulse in between effects going up and down on the 1-16 depending on the model. So you essentially hold FX+15 then any value less than 15 and you can have 2 effects trigger back and forth on a 1 bar phrase. you can make it sound pretty trippy like that. There were a few other cool ones I cant remember off the top of my head.

  • @cwxdaf152
    @cwxdaf152 Před 2 lety +1

    I just picked one of these up. I have a collection of volcas and have been using the sample as a drum machine. I find it a bit of a slog to get a good beat going with so many sample options, so I decided I'd grab one of these as an easier drum machine. It's really good and it does a lot of things you can do with the sample but it's so much easier to make a cool sound, I don't get option paralysis. Your tutorial is very useful and much appreciated. You also come across as a really nice guy in your vids, there's no edge there that puts me off, just good, sound content.

    • @cwxdaf152
      @cwxdaf152 Před 2 lety

      Oh, and the quirky screens remind me of the game and watch series which makes me want to buy them all. They know how to create a product like musical crack.

    Amazing, clearest picture of how these things work among all the videos and instructions out there. Camera angles really accurate and helpful, impeccable edition. This is just the best to get started with these things, not the official manual.Now I just have to decide if pick the PO-12 for simplicity or go for PO-33 which looks more versatile :)

    @jahkneeprovo5801 Před 4 lety

    I just followed along with my Po-12 plugged in and followed all your steps, and it was just awesome to make some really cool beats and sounds. Your voice and speaking style make it calm and understandable for someone like me, and I really appreciate you doing this! I have a question: what kind of cable (brand, possibly?) would you recommend for me to sync this up to a Volca Sampler (or vice versa)? I've got these old gold colored tipped cables from Radio Shack from over 10 years ago that are allowing me to play my PO's and Volca into 1/4 " slots in mixers and amps, but i wanna eventually get to synching, etc, and into a PC. Again, thank you SO MUCH!!

  • @googlerep366
    @googlerep366 Před 3 lety

    First of all let me say I'm so grateful for your videos because it's easier for me to learn watching a video. One thing people keep failing to mention on all these pocket operators is how to erase a sound you've added how do you manually just go through and just delete one individual sound? I was wondering how to erase the effects which you showed great but how do you erase one sound or multiple sounds
