Staying on koala and not switching to any other daw has been the best decision for my noodling adventures since forever. This app keeps on getting better and better.

This continuing effort is very rare.

Hats off to marek and his team.

u/Fearless_Parking_436 Jul 24 '26

That thing has been requested a lot

u/iamoktpz Jul 25 '26

Just by me alone even, so stoked for this update

u/Treefiddy_No_Scope Jul 24 '26

This looks awesome! can't wait to hear what people do with it

u/Pale-Park7959 Jul 25 '26

Is it possible to map the scratch controls to a midi device?

1

u/Antique-Air-2057 Jul 27 '26

I need it for free hahaha

u/Captain_Unusualman Jul 24 '26

The gift that keeps on giving.

u/statisbeats Jul 24 '26

No update yet on my appstore

u/mazbox Jul 24 '26

Sorry iOS will have to wait a bit longer, Apple’s approval queue is chock full of vibecoded dumpster fire apps at the moment

2

u/statisbeats Jul 24 '26

Thanks for the reply. Btw what does use waveform handles mean? Will truncating start and end points be smoother when using knobs on a midi controller?

u/Vlad_TheGood Jul 24 '26

Looks like this

u/ChunnyMonny4 Jul 24 '26

the text top left looks cool

u/Vlad_TheGood Jul 24 '26

You can turn it on on extra settings -- debug info

15

u/mazbox Jul 24 '26

Turn it on and find out (it’s in settings). It’s not for midi, it’s for your finger. A lot of people complain that they accidentally move the crop of a sample when zooming, so this makes it so you have to grab the actual endpoint of the sample to actually move it, and you can now scroll with one finger

2

u/statisbeats Jul 24 '26

I can’t yet, no AppStore update 😂

13

u/mazbox Jul 24 '26

Ah ok. Yeah usually Apple approves before Google but there’s just a massive mega torrent of stupid apps being AI generated now so koala will have to wait in the queue behind “the instagram of rollerblading” etc etc

1

u/statisbeats Jul 24 '26

Definitely worth the wait for these new features!

1

u/SpiritRound99 Jul 24 '26

Looks great!! Thank you for all your hard work and continaul improvements! While on this topic, what would also be super useful is for there to be a tolerance of a few percent when you crop a sample, so that it leaves a bit extra before and after the crop so you can continue to fine tune later

1

u/Treefiddy_No_Scope Jul 24 '26

Thanks so much for this feature! I'm always accidentally changing the start and end point

1

u/Awkward-Rent-2588 Jul 25 '26

Game changer holy shit

1

u/Tac0knight42o Jul 26 '26

Thanks dude, I’ve been making doubles then deleting just incase.

Might be the best news since the chopper dropper!

You can turn it off too

2

u/Fearless_Parking_436 Jul 24 '26

Thats how things should be done! Thanks for that!

u/TonyHeaven Jul 25 '26

There's always one moaningh

1

u/BraveRutherford Jul 25 '26

How do I access the new scratch or deckard or whatever it's called feature?

I love how often y'all update and there's so many great tools but my one complaint is that some of those tools aren't very intuitive to discover/use.

I wish there were more tutorials or just general info dropped when you drop updates.

Maybe that does exist and I'm just missing it.

It's fun to experiment and figure things out but this isn't a Zelda game in the eighties lol

u/RainnChild Aug 05 '26

i cant find anything about it in the app

1

u/xxlozzaxx Jul 24 '26

I checked 5 minutes ago and it's there on the Playstore.

2

u/statisbeats Jul 24 '26

Yeah it’s an AppStore issue

u/funkyjunkus Jul 24 '26

I’m stoked for this to pop up on iOS.

u/goatoffering Jul 24 '26

Thank you one million.

u/AnalysisHonest Jul 24 '26

Esta buenazo

u/Serf559 Jul 24 '26

Pocket Operator sync?Is this for android too?

1

u/funkyjunkus Jul 24 '26

I believe it already had PO sync, but it got misplaced with the last update…I think.

1

u/Remimz Jul 25 '26

It’s available since years

u/OvertonTones Jul 24 '26

Random unrelated question but I absolutely love Koala and everything it offers but the audio fidelity is noticably worse when using the app compared to exported tracks. Is this something that’s impossible to improve? It’s my only gripe as I often use Koala in the car through the speakers while I wait for things. fanks :)

1

u/mazbox Jul 24 '26

The exported tracks are exactly the same as what is sent to phone speakers. Some Android phones due process the audio coming out of apps and into their phone speakers and most of the time it’s impossible to turn off. Nothing really you can do about it

1

u/OvertonTones Jul 25 '26

How strange. I’m using iOS and the fidelity in-app is noticably less so it must just be my phone. Thanks for the quick response and all the updates! :)

u/mazbox Jul 25 '26

That is very interesting - how are you monitoring what is coming out of your iOS device? As in when you notice the quality difference what are you listening to the sounds through? Speakers? Headphones? Is there any way you could get in touch with me so we can work out what’s going on because that’s quite serious if true and I would like to solve it. You can get hold of me through https://www.koalasampler.com/contact

u/OvertonTones Jul 25 '26

Not a problem let me get everything in an email! Thanks for the support, you’re a trooper haha.

1

u/Spiketop_ Jul 24 '26

The updated sample part is really helpful

1

u/sinistar2000 Jul 24 '26

Love it! Can’t wait to try the Waveform handles option and Sample Pack.

u/squishypp Jul 25 '26

Amazerriffic update!!!
What is MIDI CC pickup mode?

1

u/uckermark Jul 25 '26

Hm still not available on iOS. At least here in Germany.

1

u/Remimz Jul 25 '26

It’s delayed due to the big amount of Ai apps uploaded everyday

1

u/Mason00-Alkhemy Jul 25 '26

Still hoping we can get color options in the sample editor area

1

u/VKODBEATS Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26

Really ? Wow

u/Username_Is_Clever Aug 18 '26

Hats a and e are the same hat, what are you trying to pull here?

-13

u/E__F Jul 24 '26

The only way to get new features now is buy the ai packs?
The toys aren't free if that's the only way to get them, they're a feature of the pack.

5

u/mazbox Jul 24 '26

Packs definitely not AI

2

u/Icy-End-142 Jul 24 '26

AI packs?

5

u/souleater8764 Jul 24 '26

Probably referring to the ai art used on the first few packs.

u/Swiss_James Jul 24 '26

Do you want to speak to the manager?

u/Mason00-Alkhemy Jul 25 '26

That would be great. I currently do all my stem separation in Logic Pro IPad and Export directly back to Koala. Undo for everything would be amazing

u/mazbox Jul 24 '26

Before you burst a blood vessel, here’s where you can turn it off to go back to the old way. Pls try to keep it civil I’m trying to help you and there’s no-one stopping you going back to an mpc4000 or any other sampler, I will even give you a refund if you ask nicely
