Hey all! New to the PO-33 and Pocket Operators as a whole. I'm trying to figure out how to create backups, but every time I try to recover from my recording it always populates an error. Help?

My setup:

• PO33
• H4N via a split stereo cable, usb b to a > usb a to c adapter> into computer
• 44.1/Stereo/16bit
• Macbook Pro

DAW: I've tried Garage Band, and I've tried Audacity, both cause errors when I do the playback from within the DAW and when I've exported as .wav.

I tried following this video to a tee, but it didn't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC-UEHjgiJQ

I have successfully loaded other backups I've downloaded, so not sure what I'm doing wrong here with setting up the backup. Thanks in advance for the help!

Don't mean to spam, but I'm really enjoying this compact combination at the moment, it's a nice change to make something very simple with a simple setup.

Thoroughly recommend the S-1 if you're into tiny dawless jams.

My po-33 was in my backpack today, i used it in the morning so it 100% worked. But idk what happened because now it smells like burnt component and it wont turn on, even with new batteries. I tried new batteries yesterday, but they are 1.2V NiMH batteries and i dont know if thats the problem.

Hi guys
The right contact of the B knob slipped out

Being impatient I tried to fix it while having batteries inside (yeah, dumb af).
The contact touched the top right contact of the record button before i managed to put it back in its place - since then it’s silent.

Does anybody know if / how i can fix it?
Couldn’t find any contact to Teenage Engineering.

...on a sunday morning.

Playing with the Roland S-1, EP-136, PO-33 and Valeton GP-5.

Just a little bit of chopping Remi Wolf’s Cinderella. Not much actual chopping… still learning this thing lol

Robot doin the mmmmms

Ep40 doin the drums

I like this kinda setup for live performing where you can

do like.

Drums with right hand, then some melodic device

in left hand.

If you've plaved piano before I recommend giving it a try cause it will come naturallv from left/right hand splitting.

Left hand dont need to think much once vou get it down like on piano, and then right hand can use to play whats in your head at that time.

What do yall like to dual with? :)

stuff i used: PO-12 rhythm, PO-20 arcade, Zoom H4n Pro, DJI Action 5 Pro

Found out these hardcases for the Pocket Operators on AliExpress and they fit nicely, even with the tabs. Been using them for more than 1 year and they're holding. I also cut some vinyl decals to identify them. If you're interested:

Walk through drum beat on po 33 :)

All sampled from Todd Rundgren vinyl

This thing is pretty fun so far, even just using it for FX.

I don't normally sample other people but thought I'd have some fun with Simon Says and the Amen Break.
