PO-20 arcade, PO-24 office, PO-28 robot

C

Got a track down with the PO-20! I wanted to create something that we haven’t seen in a lot of the other videos. So this is a more chilled type of 8-bit music. Would be super happy if you guys would check it out and give me some feedback :slight_smile:

Love this. Great work. May I ask what software you use to compose the video? I like those layering effects.


Thank you! :slight_smile: It’s made with Final Cut Pro X. But you can do that layering in almost any video editor I think…

Cool! And the Windows equivalent is?

Had my first jam with the new POs. Think the Robot is my fav so far to my surprise.

Cool.

Nice beat. Yup, everyone’s been sleepin’ on the Robot. Why do you like it more than the Arcade though?

Not huge into chip sounds, albeit the Robot can be kind of Nintendo sounding but it’s less explicit and can do the most “normal” synth sounds of all the POs other than the Bass. I think of it as a lead compliment to the Bass.

Also, I’ve discovered I like using the Arcade percussively like a drum machine best which is kind of weird.

Hoping to get at the Robot for my 35th birthday!

I agree, it’s a great lead synth with a bit more character than Factory.

Yeah, I don’t have the Arcade, but all the demos I’ve heard have worn chiptune on their sleeves, so I wasn’t sure whether that’s all it can do. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up with Nintendo and love those sounds, but the arpeggiator on the Arcade sounds a bit shrill to me. I like the more subdued “spooky” melodic tones of Legend of Zelda (and Zelda II!) and Super Mario Bros. and the Robot can get some of that. Easier to make those kinds of sounds fit into a non-chiptune song better. I just wish the Robot lead was sequenceable though, as I find trying to play it live rather awkward.

Working on a live set with the POs, think I’m gonna try and work out a little Robot solo :slight_smile:

new beat with all 3 new ones + rhythm and OP1 https://soundcloud.com/sammyjams/goals

Some Arcade, Robot and OP noodling :slight_smile:https://youtu.be/qy0Jzq3uTnk

Anyone else still waiting on their orders to ship from TE? I bought the cases too so I know there was a delay on them. Seeing all these videos is making me impatient haha

@virtual_flannel

How are you finding the office. The more i hear it, the more its growing on me.

The office is a dub monster ;D

Awesome vid / tune!

I like it a lot. It’s like a PO12 but with weird office related samples. The solo feature is maybe the coolest feature on any of the POs.

@AA_Battery that video was dubly special.

Did some Arcade from scratch jamming last night. The unit is just electrifyingly tremendous!

I picked up my package of three new PO’s from the post office this morning. Gonna be a long day of work waiting to play with them :slight_smile:

Can you only link (sync) up to 3 PO’s? I tried attaching a fourth, but couldn’t get it to work…
