I've been using ko2 with a midi to cv converter to sequence my eurorack which is dope and I don't know why more people aren't talking about how powerful ko2 is as a sequencer for external gear. The time based punch in FX work over midi which can get super crazy
What? So if you hit one of the punch in fx on a midi sequence, it actually changes the midi notes being sent in such a way that it sounds similar to the fx?
@@Dekkie61 Yeah, the out going midi responds in the same way it would for internal stuff. I also run the audio back into KO2 for the full effect - but it's especially cool with the time based FX that the outgoing midi notes slow or chop along with the internal sounds with the FX
Man, it sounds awesome (and that beat is stellar). Pity I mostly make ambient-ish. If it can be persuaded to sound like a broken CR-78 drowning in a bath then I’m in!
I'm waiting for the Tonic 2 actually, but I'm slowly growing towards this thing. I'd like an extra drummachine besides the digitakt (1). Probably better to keep on hoping for a Tonic 2, but damn you make this thing look nice...
It's a fantastic little sampler. I'd like to get at the firmware, but it does what it does and I like it. I have much more expensive gear (akai .. ) that is nowhere near as fun to use.
can it do live fx on the stereo ins (i.e. work as an fx pedal)? also, viewed as a rhythm composer, maybe it lacks polyrhythms (more of just a pad hitter)?
Teenage engernering , should just give you my cash ,I seen it on tube day of release & did not hv the cash to hand & then fadergate😂 so I put it on back burner , ,No longer ,🤯gas syndrome , thanks for vid, top notch as norm🤘😁

Whaaaaat! I hadn’t even considered that ~ I know what I’m trying today!
This is very interesting! Id love a video on this if you find it nice! 😄

@@TheUnpersonupdate with this asap!!

Subbed as I like your thought process for creating a beat and you call it “noiseys”. Stay safe!
Best demo I’ve seen, the music and sound make the difference!
Thanks! Much appreciated ☺️
Agree. So effortlessly creative.
Brilliant demo. A very versatile machine. This may be making an appearance in the kit soon! 😎
Glad you liked it! It’s really a lot of fun once you get your head around the workflow.
Nice to see how you’re using yours! I’ve often been using it to make grainy, pitched down polyphonic synth pads. Instant beauty
Ohhh that sounds lush ~ gonna try that tomorrow!
@@TheUnperson there’s a great vid by Bloom Music called, Making Mono Synths Polyphonic with the KOII. Very much worth a watch.
I'd buy the KO II again after watching this video if I hadn't already. Great content, fiery beats, and very clear and engaging explanation. 🌟🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the lovely comment ~ very much appreciated!!
Thanks, now I want one of these. sake man.
Haha! Sorry man. But you should get one tho!
@@TheUnperson I'm going to get one, then just sit it on a shelf and stare at it, let it collect dust and never actually learn to use it. yay.
Cool stuff from you again, did not know how fun a KO2 could be.
It’s a lot of fun for sure!
Great vid, thanks! By the way I think the reason you heard your sample pitched down is that the “1” pad is the unpitched sampled sound.
Cheers! Ahhh that makes sense. I’ll investigate that tomorrow thanks!
sick beats as usual :)
Thank you! ☺️
Great video, thanks. I don’t know what the roadmap is for the KO2, but I hope it includes audio over USB. 🤞🏻
I'm really tempted by this thing because of this video. So easy and compelling to make beats. What other drum machines do you use?
I also have the RD-8 and the drumbrute impact. Both fantastic but a bit dry!
@@TheUnperson and K.O.II is quite "wet" right?
I love this thing can't wait
Me too!!
Man, it sounds awesome (and that beat is stellar). Pity I mostly make ambient-ish. If it can be persuaded to sound like a broken CR-78 drowning in a bath then I’m in!
Oh definitely can! That might be a good video idea actually 🤔
For ambient examples of the ep-133, I’d recommend looking at Bloom Music’s stuff. He does a great job showing off the K.O. II’s ambient side.
It's been interesting to see how you've grown into the KO2 over the last 6 months or so in your videos. For the price, it is almost a no brainer.
I think so too! It’s really a very fun and creative machine for the price.
Great video. Would be great showing how you use it with the modular. I mean the sync thing.
It has a sync in and out so you can just put a gate into the input. Personally I don’t use the sync and just hit play in time.
Where? Are you hiding a Digitakt behind that calculator? 😏
Only one way to find out! 😆
I'm waiting for the Tonic 2 actually, but I'm slowly growing towards this thing. I'd like an extra drummachine besides the digitakt (1). Probably better to keep on hoping for a Tonic 2, but damn you make this thing look nice...
Are there rumours of a Tonic 2?
Ally: "I was getting tired of the same old sounds (in the RD 8)
Ally (also): "So I just sampled the RD-8 to get that 808 sound".... ;-)
Haha! The 808 is such a classic sound ~ a must have for any electronic artist. But to use it in every track is madness 🤪
It's a fantastic little sampler. I'd like to get at the firmware, but it does what it does and I like it. I have much more expensive gear (akai .. ) that is nowhere near as fun to use.
I’d love someone to get at the firmware and fix some things!!
can it do live fx on the stereo ins (i.e. work as an fx pedal)? also, viewed as a rhythm composer, maybe it lacks polyrhythms (more of just a pad hitter)?
Unfortunately not ~ that would be amazing. I don’t think it can do polyrhythms either ~ hopefully in a firmware update.
I see the Drumbrute hasn't been given the chop yet (even if it is just in Vegas mode)! 😉
I did have to clean the dust off lol
Perfect if you are scoring for a gameboy
Could absolutely write a game soundtrack on this!
Teenage engernering , should just give you my cash ,I seen it on tube day of release & did not hv the cash to hand & then fadergate😂 so I put it on back burner , ,No longer ,🤯gas syndrome , thanks for vid, top notch as norm🤘😁
Hahah! It definitely had a shaky launch but it’s really so much fun.
I forget how good the POs are for instant and spontaneous performance. This expanded version does sound super nice… feeding that GAS yet again ugh 😅
Haha sorry man! It’s the instant performance aspect that I really love about the ko2 ☺️
Are you using external effects on this video? Or is it just the machine? ;)
Just the machine in this video :)
@@TheUnperson sounds great! Does it have audio over usb?
What sequencer sucks 24ppn

What sequencer sucks?
Yes but can you make it say 80085?
Surely! Otherwise they’ve made a huge blunder.
