I bought the PO-33 thinking it would be a fun musical toy I could occasionally play with. To be honest, I was disappointed with how much repetitive labor was needed to do even the simplest things on it. Something about it just did not entertain my programmer-brain. I could visualize each step needed to make a fun track, and then decided it would not be worth the time. I mostly spent time imagining how much easier and more fun it could be.

I hit this wall, but what I've decided is that it makes a fun adjunct instrument to play in real-time; using the sequencer is basically something to occupy time on transit or whatever but not a productive music-making idea. Just use it to collect fun samples over the course of your day and then mix them into other things in your DAW of choice.

I did exactly the same thing with my PO-33!
