Common Teenage Engineering PO-33 K.O! Questions
How do I sync the PO-33 to other devices using MIDI?
The PO-33 uses a 3.5mm TRS connector for MIDI input. Set the PO-33's sync mode to SY04 or SY05 (using the bend buttons while holding pattern) and use a MIDI to 3.5mm TRS cable to connect it to your MIDI device's output.
How do I save patterns, kits, or individual sounds on the PO-33?
The PO-33 saves patterns automatically; there is no separate 'save' function. Recorded sounds are saved to memory locations (1-16 for melodic, 1-16 for drums) by holding write + a memory location, and patterns are saved similarly by holding pattern + a pattern number.
How do I sample sounds into the PO-33 K.O.?
Press and hold the record button, then press the sound slot button (1-16) you want to record into; the PO-33 will then record audio through its built-in microphone or the line-in until you release the record button.
My PO-33's sound is distorted or crackling. What can I do?
Reduce the volume levels of the samples or patterns, as the PO-33 can distort easily when levels are too high; also, check the batteries and try new ones.
What's the difference between melodic and drum sounds on the PO-33, and how do I use them?
The PO-33 has 16 melodic slots (for pitched samples) and 16 drum slots (for one-shot samples). Use the 'sound + 1-16' buttons to select which type of sound you are recording into or using within your patterns, and the drum slots allow you to sequence percussive loops more efficiently.
