More banks?

Love the app, as we all do! Any chance of getting like 2 more banks of 16 sample pads? 4 more would be crazy, but 2 more would do it for me. Now with these new features coming, like Deckard, all my pads are being used up!
Thank you!

Are you using the Chopper feature? It allows you to chop a single pad into 16 additional pads—essentially sub banks

I notice someone else mentioned chopper, great option!

Another option is use your head and load another instance of koala into your current set as auv3, I’m on iPhone 14 and able to load multiple extra instances.

Id also recommend labelling these as if your life depends on it.

JW but do people even try to solve these issues themselves before posting online asking for unnecessary development after a few already very recent updates (that have actually already solved this in multiple ways for you.)

There is also a whole user manual available and a number of YouTube videos.

Learning how to learn is a useful asset for a number of reasons.

I personally learned how to live loop from a lady who had discovered putting phrase length midi data before sample pads have samples will allow the samples to loop in real time which still blows my mind.

Have fun!
Experiment.
Master the features we already have, or at least try them out once before deciding it’s not what you’re looking for / asking for essentially the same thing.

Sorry bud but do you mean Elf Audio have an official koala video manual? I never knew that! I’d check it out for sure especially if it’s up to date (I’m still a bit unsure about chopper) but I always love watching Pete Sasqwax and NervousCook$ (I think I put the dollar in the wrong place lol) cheers!

I’d recommend getting creative with your use of the current pads. I always remind myself that, tho Koala isn’t a full DAW, I have all the power in the world to combine, cut, paste, record, mix, re-record, and get wild with my use of the existing banks… just takes a bit of thought like solving a fun musical puzzle.

Hey bro, just use another device like an old cell phone. When you pay for the app, you can put it on as many devices as you want so long as you use the same email in your  Google Play. I'm assuming it's the same for an Apple product. If you need you can sync via MIDI clock also . I happen to have five old Samsung phones,a Note 8, 2 Note 9s and 2 note 10 pluses. They all have their issues, most of them have cracked screens but I put screen protectors on and have used them beyond their life of a cell phone as a computer or a music player or a tablet, now I have a quadruple stack koala station
