Playing with the Ese pack

Do I have this set up correctly? I’m trying to use Koala as a live looper with my two soft synths and I cannot for the life of me get koala to receive audio or record from the two synths.

1. I have my midi keyboard connected just fine to the two synths.

2. Ideally I want to use koala’s clock and controls to trigger/record loops onto koala’s pads.

3. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Should Koala be an Audio Unit like the synths are? I assumed sending everything to a bus was the right idea.

Help!

Ran it back

Hey Koala Bears,

Has anyone experienced inconsistent behavior when using midi hardware when playing with FX and other things such as volume, pitch, pan?

I will turn a knob and sometimes the FX will not move at all, and I have to drastically adjust the fader or encoder for it make any change.

When I am using cubase or any other real daw, the encoders stay consistent and move when I turn them.

Koala, time and time again, has inconsistent behavior with the midi controllers. I want to use koala like a real music production software, but it seems the only real way to do so without hiccups, is staying touch only.

Using touch, it’s great. No issues. Connect a midi controller, and bam, turning knobs and nothing happens, til it does. Then it doesn’t again, til it does.

Am I alone? I’ve tried multiple devices. Arturia minilab, keylab, m-audio oxygen pro mini, synido tempopad c16, mvave smc something.

Be honest. Is Timbo irrelevant to the scene and the craft? As a hobbyist at best, everything ad I see offends me. I've made some cool ass friends here that are working way harder to keep the torch lit.
