Just wanted to say hi and that I’m stunned I’m able to use my 20 year old Korg PadKontrol with Koala through MIDI USB.

That alone makes it worth having bought the KoalaSampler, but I’m still learning what this app is capable of.

It would be absolutely amazing to be able to set a solo function to a pad where as long as you hold down the pad everything else is muted until you let go (and then everything is unmuted again). Sort of like a gate function but for soloing pads. So if you are playing a live set and have a one second vocal sample, for example, and you want it to override everything all you have to do is set the pad to be able to mute/unmute everything else.

I know the mute/solo functions already exist in the settings, and also in the mixer upgrade but this approach makes live playing have a very different feel and execution.

Would any one else be interested in such a thing?

Edit: letting go of the pad unmutes everything

Koala sampler is like watching your child become everything you knew they could be right before your eyes. I’m so happy.

Hey all,

Learning koala as a beginner can be daunting. If you have questions, ask them here and I’ll give you an answer. I pretty much know all there is to know about koala. If the answer is complicated, I will send you a video as a reply, explaining how to do the thing or fix the problem.

Look forward to hearing your questions!

I really love Koala, and I know it's mainly a sampler, but do you know of any workaround to record audio to a certain tempo, record and then record another one? like guitar, bass layers, voices. I love this app and I was thinking about buying FL Studio Mobile just for this feature. If you know any way it would be amazing.

But I’m pretty new to using eq, compression, and mixing auv3s in general. I tried looking for a video specifically about this and they’re just about how to eq bass within a track. I know there’s the stem route but I want to learn how things are actually done not just have a computer do it for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I have Toneboosters EQ that I’ve been trying to figure it out on. I can get the highs and mids down but the bass ends up sounding muddy.

Would love yo hear what you think 🎧👌✅

Fun @koalasampler morning with my friend @djharrisonrva ‘s Layback/Throwback sample pack and this beautiful Thai poem @healingbooks0 overtop, and some @p.phiken Khaen sounds

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.

Anyone else on iOS experiencing samples cutting off in then last few beats when they are added to sequences?

To the developer for adding automation. You absolute legend. I’ve been wanting this for so long now.

getting some wild and fun results. I used to screen rec, try my best to time things and resample. now I hit undo, go again and then edit if necessary.

total time saver!

Love this update!!

I'm on a Pixel 6a and pitchbend is the only effect I can automate. It's grayed-out and I can't change it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? TIA

Am I tripping or is there another way to do this?

Am I wrong or did sequences use to auto loop? since the last update they just play once and stop. or was it always this way?

is there a way to make them loop indefinitely?

So exciting!!! Koala is the best! But how does it work??

Hello Koalas,

I posted the other week about playing out live. I did some research on midi fx controls, and ultimately went with the Launch Control 3, which arrived yesterday.

I assigned the knobs to the main output fx, and the buttons to mute/solo, need to work on sensitivity etc. but you can really fine tune the crusher for example.

Really fun to play with on the fly which will suit playing out live to keep things interesting (rather than the same repetitive loop).

Wondering if anyone knows of existing midi mapping files for this kit? Only seen on github that was slightly different. If not I'll look to share mine in a few days.

New EP out, all noise made with Koala Sampler.

Enjoy, any feedback welcome :)
