And second strike!
I just found out you can retrigger with the KO! While in write mode hold down a drum step and toggle through the retrig amount via the BPM button. Apologize if this widely known as I just found it thanks to the link below. There’s a few more hidden gems in there as well.

Damn there is a lot of tricks I didn’t know about in this page.
This thing is seriously fun, I’m very impressed. I wondered if anyone had a trick to mute a channel temporarily? There’s mention online of holding a sound down to mute it but I can’t get this to work. Write + volume reduces the volume but doesn’t seem to go totally to zero.
Yes, this was already implemented this way on the PO-12
Wonder if the PO-35 hidden features are shared on PO-33 - I never tried…
Hi! Not the same conceptor, isn’t it ?
Found this :
This guide is great - got to say this thing really shows me what a fast sampling workflow is! Makes me wish the Digitakt could do slices and slice a bunch of samples by transient, it’s such a quick way to make a fun kit e.g. using the Fractal Bits app on iOS
lmao I was baffled for a second like wtf why is it so huge
I pulled my PO33 out of a drawer last night when GASing after the Novation Rhythm and the new SP404 and honestly had such a fun night sampling a ton of stuff off YT, chopping some breaks and messing with the step FX. And I LOVE the sound of the PO33, a lovely lo fi crunch.
GAS receded for now
Did you try to use it synced to Zoia ?
Was my intention to try but never got round to it. Will do so later and report back
Planned to. And we should be able to control PO33 with CV (I already did it with A4).
Using the CV socket the Zoia only picked up a sync signal from the PO33 about once a bar (but not regularly). Maybe the signal needs a boost (I was going PO33 - > Zoia)?
I’m not clever enough yet to work out how to use an audio port to turn this sync signal into a series of CV gates for syncing.
I’d try audio signal. (Zoia Analysis Onset probably).
Edit : just tried, I could sync PO33 to a Zoia sequencer,
PO33 Audio Sync > Onset > Seq Gate in
(trigger once Queue Start to start with first step).
Edit 2 : worked up to 101 bpm only…but was be better decreasing -50 db from Audio Input to Onset (140 bpm)
Good work! I rarely go over 100BPM on the PO33 anyway so that will work a treat!
Ease of use compared to the SP404mk2 is no contest! Really impressed with the PO-33. I already like it more than the OP-1 Field.
Yup, I said it.
im right there with you. im absolutely in love with my 33. always on my desk getting daily use. I think a couple tweaks would make it my goat though. step length, loop and ping pong sample settings, resampling, master fx compressor and reverb, mute/choke. something slightly more premium then the bare pcb. inbetween a PO and Opz. recently found out i can copy a single sample slice from the drum track back into the melodic. i need to try loading some long samples and bouncing them around that way. crazy i learned something new after all this time!
a pic of my well loved 33I’m sorry to react so strongly, but I absolutely hated my experience with po 33. The sp 404 mkii is considerably more user friendly and easier to navigate.
