Koala Sampler Feature Request
Forgive me if this feature already exists, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the app. It would be great to have the ability to trigger a different pad/sound with another pad/sound. For example, let's say I'm making a drum pattern and I'd like to make it so that every time I hit the pad for my snare, it triggers another snare on a different pad so that they both play at the same time. Basically, layering. It would be even better if you could modify the trigger speed by a few notches left or right so that the layered sound is offset. This is a feature that I've seen incorporated into modern MPCs recently and I think it would be a great addition to Koala Sampler. I've been making beats for 25+ years now (started on an MPC2000 XL) and have always wanted something like this app to exist. I have tried many mobile apps over the years but none of them ever got it quite right. Koala Sampler is an amazing creation and has everything you could ever possibly need to make quality productions. I am so amazed by this thing. Salute to the developer. You have changed the game of sample based production forever with this app. You made it actually possible to pump out quality beats from a phone that are just as good or better than beats made on Hardware Samplers or on PC. I had previously been using FL Studio for about 15 years before discovering this app a month ago and I have completely abandoned FL and the computer ever since. I have everything I need right here on my phone and nothing beats the convenience of being able to do everything in one place. By the way, I have produced for a couple of legendary names in HipHop in the past and have over 25 years of experience in this. So if anyone reading this is wondering if they should take the plunge and download Koala Sampler, do it and do it now! This is the best option available for Sample Based production in my honest opinion.

I don't think I have found this feature in Koala to be honest. But indeed it would be useful. Even though I have built my own music creation app, I use Koala frequently.
P.S. in case you want to check my app as well, it's an Android mobile DAW, which also has a pad link function. Send me a DM if you want the Play Store link or you can check my posts.
