This video is incredible. The amount you're able to squeeze out of this thing is seriously inspiring. I also love how many pretty sounds you made with it--the majority of demos of this synth are so grungy/dirty sounding. That can be cool, but this video shows off the versatility so much better.
I almost decided to sell my Pico System 3 and now after I discovered your video, I understand that the issue is in me and not in the synth. Will continue learning it! :)
Nice video! Such a cool piece of gear, I dig it a lot. Aaaand I am also constantly thinking of getting one. Which is crazy, because I am already running a pretty decently sized rack but..... that thing is just so cool! :D I imagine it a great thing being able to take a mini modular synth on the road via battery power and just jam wherever you are with that beast, haha. Thanks, for uploading. Good job on making me want to spend 400 bugs :p
i just got myself the Pico3 standalone but my problem is I have an Akai MPK Mini which I can't use with the PICO3. I have a TE KO2 and I'm thinking of ways to go crazy on my Pico3. Any Advice? I'm using an Arturia Minifuse2. Can I put the Pico3 to the MIDI on the Minifuse and MPK Mini on the Minifuse USB HUB. i really could use some advise. Your video is making me bat shit crazy at my options.Thank you for its inspirational.
Glad you asked! Those are the RYO Airtenuators. Pico lacks of attenuators on its own, but it is easy to add them when needed. Perhaps with these. www.thonk.co.uk/shop/ryo-airtenuator/
We are so glad you enjoyed! We made the patch notes, but the description is too short. So here you go: 08: PICO Hype VCO2 starts the patch with long pad sounds out of its SHAPE output. No VCA or filter is used to interrupt this sound, just a mixer channel to fade it in. VCO1s PULSE output comes in with a filter sweep. The pulse width is modulated heavily by one of the envelopes that is switched into LOOP mode (LFO). Everything so far is going into the Alesis reverb. The MOD section is used as a sub oscillator. VCO2s triangle output is patched into the the clock input of MOD. The RATE is set to half sothe MOD outputs (SINE and PULSE) will be one octave below VCO2. The resulting sub Sine wave is patched into a mixer channel on the external mixer skipping the reverb path. It was brought in earlier by turning the CH1 knob on the external mixer. The PULSE output of MOD (sits also one octave lower and follows the pad melody) is brought in by a more resonant filter sweep. (LPG2) This voice is routed through the reverb as well. LPG1 is filtering the PWM melody. Both filters open slowly then the patch ends suddenly as I pull the reverbs input and let its decay ring.
Wow, this is amazing. I own a pico system 3, but I'm far away to create that kind of patches. It's my first full modular system and it's hard to learn.
How great this synthesizer is! We loved to create this video!

I just came back to it 2 years latera and I got blown away again.. I need to get this thing already

Love my Pico System III. Your video is great and really shows off how versatile this lil guy is.
I would love full descriptions of all these patches! I’m barely scratching the surface.
This shits on every other Pico III demo! Super cool 😎
Any chance for descriptions of the pico asteroids and techno patches? thanks so much for the video! -m
Nice video!

Wow you have some really good sounds and grooves going. I've got one I'm paring up to a Minibrute 2s. Learning a lot from you thanks bro!!
@LEON McCORMICK - How's that going? I have An MB2S and am thinking of adding the PICO III. Peace.
i really wanted the patchnotes for for the pico deep patch but i can't find them... is it me??
Soundria please please please give us the patch notes!
4:24 THANK YOU
this goona be my next thing...the eurorack version tho....it sounds incridible!!!!!!!
Awesome! What cables are you using?

young pico is gangster
Any chance of posting the other patch notes somewhere? These are exceptional examples of how to do more with less.
Pico Deep boggles my mind.
This is awesome!! I need the patch for the pico techno please!!! I need to make that kickdrum!
Great Music! Wow!
what are those black boxes inline with the cables?

Please, have description for the pico hype patch??? thanks
We are so glad you enjoyed! We made the patch notes, but the description is too short. So here you go:
08: PICO Hype
VCO2 starts the patch with long pad sounds out of its SHAPE output.
No VCA or filter is used to interrupt this sound, just a mixer channel to fade it in.
VCO1s PULSE output comes in with a filter sweep.
The pulse width is modulated heavily by one of the envelopes that is switched into LOOP mode (LFO).
Everything so far is going into the Alesis reverb.
The MOD section is used as a sub oscillator.
VCO2s triangle output is patched into the the clock input of MOD.
The RATE is set to half sothe MOD outputs (SINE and PULSE) will be one octave below VCO2.
The resulting sub Sine wave is patched into a mixer channel on the external mixer skipping the reverb path.
It was brought in earlier by turning the CH1 knob on the external mixer.
The PULSE output of MOD (sits also one octave lower and follows the pad melody) is brought in by a more resonant filter sweep. (LPG2)
This voice is routed through the reverb as well.
LPG1 is filtering the PWM melody.
Both filters open slowly then the patch ends suddenly as I pull the reverbs input and let its decay ring.
Please, have description for the pico core and pico techno patches ?
This is some next level patching.
Cool! 7:57 how make? Please give me patch🙏🏻 in instagram
WOW!!!!
Pico Hype is incredible
After 2 years, every time I see or read about the Pico System I think of this track and come back to have a listen again
Wow, this is amazing. I own a pico system 3, but I'm far away to create that kind of patches. It's my first full modular system and it's hard to learn.
Check out mylarmelodies, loopop & red means recording (if you don't know them already) they are awesome for learning how to patch.
O.K, I was thinking about it, now I'm sure of it.
