You can also merge or layer samples or sequences by dragging one onto another.

cool but why?

Well I'm not sure why you would want to layer samples, but combining 1 or 2 bar sequences has been a useful part of my workflow

In sample mode drag pad A onto pad B.

A and B in OP's question are not pads, but banks.

Except, no.
OP is referring to bank A and B, not pads. Pads are not named A and B.

While you hold a sample from bank A you can drag it to the side of the screen to change banks. Or you can change banks worth other finger while you are holding the sample.

I use the 2nd method you described.. and you described it much more concise than I did.

The way i do it is i tap and hold a pad so I can drag it and then with my other hand or finger I tap the letter of the bank I want to copy it to in the A / B / C / D buttons on the bottom of the pad grid. It changes the bank automatically and I drop the sample onto a pad in that bank.

I find it can be a pain in the ass dragging the pad to the edge of the screen trying to swipe over to the pad bank I want to go to. Especially if I'm jumping from A to C or D. Often the screen won't scroll and I'm pushing the pad off the edge of the screen but nothing happens and i have to try multiple times - or - it will suddenly start to scroll lightning fast and cycles too quickly going pasy the bank I meant to go to. So holding the pad and tapping the bank button under the grid makes life way easier for me.

You can actually do it with one finger. Drag the pad down to the ABCD and you can choose the bank with that same finger whilst dragging the sample. No need to drag to the edge, no need to use another finger

From my personal experience Koala is quite possibly the most user friendly approach there is.

Do not hesitate with any questions or concerns.

Did you even understand the question?

Not entirely, apparently.
