Finally, I took my dusty POs and recorded the video for the track I made early this year. It is my longest track made and sequenced completely on pocket operators by far.
Sequencing anything longer than 64 patterns might be challenging on the pocket operators as it is the maximum possible chain length for half of them (po-32, po-35, and po-137 are 64 pattern chain lengths; po-128, po-33, and po-133 are 128 max pattern chain lengths). However, this time, I used the technique of sampling the beginning and the ending of the track into the po-33 and po-133 accordingly, which allowed me to add about a minute to the total track length. Also, an additional 16 bars of the track are looped for the po-32, po-35, and po-137 in the partly repeated 61-bar chain.
My taste might be quite specific, but overcoming technical limitations in pocket operators is another layer of joy for me. Hope you'll like it as much as I am.
*Please note that the video might be slightly unsynchronized with audio because I replaced the original audio with one recorded and processed in a DAW, where I fixed all the minor issues with fade-ins and fade-outs to improve audio quality and avoid disturbing your ears.
