Possibly the coolest thing in the world
I'm serious with the header of the review . Just being able to sample anywhere at anytime itself is cool as hell , but this little thing has granular like sample trimming , real time pitch shifting , and HP/LP cutoff filters . I don't think could ask for anymore . The sound quality isn't for everyone as it's very low fidelity and in mono , personally I love 8/12bit samplers so that was just another plus . It allows up to 256 notes , and lots of samples (although short) , My only real gripe with it is the lock tab (why would anyone need this?? Mabey for a display model?) If the lock tab accidentally breaks off you'll have to solder the 2 contacts together so you can start making patterns and adding samples again which not everyone is able to do. Besides that love it and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it and highly recommend for anyone who's dream machine is a portable lofidelity sampler for there pocket!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Recording samples from my daw or phone at a fairly high-speed into the PO33 so I can slow it down within the pocket operator and preserve a ton of recording memory (old-school method)
