What's New in POKO

July 7, 2026
SAMPLER: NEW TRICKS This update is all about POKO CHOP: • RESAMPLE: capture what POKO is playing straight into a pad. Sequencer, finger drumming, effects and all. • Record with the beat running. Put headphones on and the groove keeps going while you sample in time with it. • A live level meter while you record, so a take is never a guess. • Per-pad volume and fine-tune, so every sound sits right in the kit. • SOFT gives a pad a gentle fade-in. CHOKE lets pads cut each other off, like a closed hat stopping an open one. • Deleted a take by mistake? UNDO brings it back. And any pad can be shared as a WAV. • Fresh recordings now play back whole and unfiltered, long files import without a stutter, and big projects save in the background. Plus a round of fixes and polish. Every sound is still made on device.
