Hey Arthur, thanks for your comment. That was the missing puzzle piece for me and it makes the ko so much more useful. Enjoy and thanks for your support!
@@OllieLoops only just barely, because instead of waiting 3s I just spam click thru the fx button lol Edit: im also impatient I literally didnt wsit so I thought it was the only way xD
@@rajgill7576 ha! Yes, I too am impatient. Just about every other device will save a trim point instantly, but not the KO! It takes forever to chop and trim a drum break.
Hey Ollie! Thanks for the videos. I just got my KO and am having trouble loading 808 sounds from my GarageBand. I see your point about loading the sample in two bars so you get 1/8 notes. Question is, do you mean any eight consistent strikes, or should you play the sample kit/ snare / hat at the same BPM that the KO is set to? Thx!
The 2 bar technique would be relative to a drum break or melody. For individual drum notes, you can sample them in individually. Making the bpms match is a good idea, but for drum hits, that doesn’t matter since the hits themselves won’t be time stretched, most likely.
@@OllieLoops Hey Ollie! I did the 2 measure thing and it worked! My idea was to put on 808 sound per drum track (kick on 9, snare on 10, hat on 11 etc.) and it gave a me a good range of sounds within each bank. Is that how you do it or did I miss something? Thx for the help!!
how do you get pack to the drum sounds free playing mode , because after recording and pressing pattern a few times . My maschine doesnt let me play the 16 buttons any more just to press on a sequence and wait for it to sound ?
Hey, thanks for your comment. If I recall correctly, the sample time limit is based on the total available sample time available to the unit. The KO has 40 seconds of max sample time, that's including the stock samples. If we delete the stock samples, you can get the full 40 seconds. If I recall, with the stock samples loaded, you get about 24 seconds of available time. This was documented one of my KO videos. With that, I believe you could use the entire available sample time for a single sample. Some TE devices have limited sample time however. With the OP1 and OPZ, I believe the limit is 12 seconds in the drum section. I hope that helps.
@@OllieLoops yes it helps, thanks. I wish you knew for sure that you remembered it correctly. I have an OP-1 here and that limit makes it real difficult to get the parts i need into one set for chops, so i was hoping for better in the PO33. I wish these things just allowed you to sample whatever you want into each individual slot. Thanks again
@@vforvillain77 Hey, I just confirmed what I said in the last comment. A sample's length is only limited by the available sample time remaining on the device. 40 seconds total, and about 24 seconds with stock samples. Also, check out my KO copy and paste secrets video for a trick to pasting sampling into the individual drum slots. I hope that helps!
You can record as long as you have recording time available. To get better sample slices, you should consider this: there are 16 sound slots in the drum section. Your sample will thus be divided by 16 automatically. So, if you sample 1 bar, you get 16th notes of that sample, if you sample 2 bars, you get 8th notes. I recommend sampling 2 bars of a beat because many beats have 8th notes and it will slice better. Also, you will likely always need to adjust the start and end of your samples because the automatic slices are rarely perfect. Getting good at setting the start and end of samples is critical to getting them to sound like individual notes. Ok. I hope that helps.
If you sample four kicks, four snares, four hats, and four rides, and then you program them into a drum pattern - haven’t you used up all of your samples? I thought you could only play four samples simultaneously on the PO? How can you do this, and then also add a bass, melody, and main riff?
Nope, in the drum section you have 8 banks of 16 slots = 128 samples. What is limited to four is the polyphony, the maximum number of sounds that can be played on the same time :)
@@Idrisscratch that’s what confuses me. If you can only play four samples simultaneously, how can you have so many drums? If I have a bass sample, a main riff sample, and an acapella sample, that only leaves room for one more sample. I wouldn’t be able to also program a drum pattern, would I?
Keep in mind that the polyphony is per step, not as a whole. So you can have some complexity to the pattern if you don’t place more than 4 sounds triggering on a single step.
Man, a thumbs up from me but honestly I understood nothing and I am very interested into the subject. You better create other specific videos. IMHO a vid for a subject like this should not take less than 15m ;-)
Thanks Toma. I appreciate the feedback. Its a bit of a struggle to find the perfect balance of length, delivery and audience retention. If you could see the statistics on audience retention, you might get a sense for why keeping videos short is important. But I hear your point. I make these videos for people like you to share information and help people. Let me know if you have a specific question or video that could help you. Thanks.
the tip about waiting the trim to clear was really game changing for me, thanks :)
Hey Arthur, thanks for your comment. That was the missing puzzle piece for me and it makes the ko so much more useful. Enjoy and thanks for your support!
I don’t like waiting, I just press the fx button and move on hh
@@rajgill7576 Hey, thanks for your comment. Does that save the trim point quicker?

Cool! Those PO are so powerfull. Great video!
Appreciate that buddy! Grabbed my ko out of the long time unused toolbox and this was very helpful!
Thanks! Enjoy.
Excellent tutorial bro! 🔥🔥 respect!!
Thanks! Check back soon for more like this one.
@@OllieLoopswhat's the name of the cord to use to plug-in from the KO Device to another device?
Thanks! Very helpful.

THIS THING IS ON BACKORDER NOW AND I JUST ORDERED IT, :TRIUMPH: AHH IM SO SAD.
also cool video i dont even have it yet but this is good to know :0
Thanks! I hope you get your KO soon. You'll have fun with it!
Cool video! But I didn’t quite understand tip 1, could you explain it in other words or explain it like I’m 5?
How do you do factory reset? To get the samples back.
1. Take the batteries out.
2. Hold Pattern and Write at the same time.
3. Insert the batteries.
4. Release Pattern and Write.
I hope that helps!
@@OllieLoops Thank you.✌
is there a max sample length for the drum sample? how bout a melodic sample? I cant find this info anywhere!!

Is there a way to overwrite on a sample?
Hey thanks for your comment. Samples can be overwritten. You can record over any sample sound slot. I hope that helps.
Hey, do you know the ideal of recording to get perfect drums
What do you mean by perfect?
@@OllieLoops like to get the drums sample perfect because everytime I try it comes out bad
I was asking how long do you usually record to get the drum sample sound perfectly
You can record as long as you have recording time available. To get better sample slices, you should consider this: there are 16 sound slots in the drum section. Your sample will thus be divided by 16 automatically. So, if you sample 1 bar, you get 16th notes of that sample, if you sample 2 bars, you get 8th notes.

You're not even going to talk about how samples copied from melodic to drum get chopped into 16 even sections?
Good catch. Yes, you can do that too.
BUT HOW?!?!?
@@erickfierro1222 Record to the melodic, then copy it FROM there to a drum.

can you explain step 3 again? Thanks!!
Sorry but I didn’t get the difference between waiting or not during the trimming step
You have to wait for the setting to save and then it will be applied.
