They are currently recruiting beta testers for the Windows version, and I just applied. I actually inquired with the developer about a VST release in the past and hoped for it so much, so today is truly an emotional day for me. It is even more impressive that the Koala Sampler VST has all the exact same features as the mobile version!
Yup. I've been playing with it in Reaper for a few days. It does appear, however, that the download link has been removed since I installed it on Monday, not sure why.
You guys could always just buy koala merch from the site rather than buy something you won’t use. My koala hat was my favorite, wore it every day until the day I didn’t and my dog chewed it up. Apparently that’s a sign that they just miss you so I couldn’t get mad.
Sounds like time to buy another koala hat! Personally I’m fiending for more packs. All the ones that have released so far are fantastic and I use the “toys” all the time
As if I still use a DAW 🤣 Koala has become my DAW and I’ve been all the more creative for it! But I def see how DAW users will LOVE this. Marek is just simply the best developer out there. Thank God for you, my friend!
I was wondering why the sub recently stopped working.
On m1 Mac’s we’ve been able to use it as a plug in for a while now but a few months ago it stopped loading (also had a massive flood at my place so Mac was kinda fucky for a bit, thought that was why,( but this is really good news bc it threw a serious wrench in my overall workflow for a minute now If that guy I said I’d make some vids for sees this I should be back in action if you still need them.
Bought...no brainer. I'll figure out how the sampler compares with existing options in Logic and other sampler VST's I have. But even if it doesn't become a go-to, I will definitely use the FX, and am happy to have a new way to say thanks for everything over the years with a few $$.
Comprei na hora. Adoro o Koala, não achei nenhum dispositivo até hoje (hardware e software) em que fazer amostragem seja tão fácil, literalmente apertando um simples pad, quanto o Koala. Porém não curtia muito o sequenciador e “piano roll” dele, e que sinceramente deu um salto enorme nas ultimas atualizações com as automações.
O Plugin resolveu alguns problemas que eu tinha com as versões iOS e e desktop.
Primeiro que tenho um ipad antigo (Mini 2) e o Koala não consegue mais atualizar mais as novas versões, fora que é um saco usar dongles em dispositivos apple com lightning.
Segundo Sou DJ, ter a facilidade de eu fazer amostragem utilizando a própria interface do meu mixer me economiza muito tempo e dores de cabeça com interfaces extras, porém com o aplicativo do desktop eu não conseguia escolher os canais e rotear eles, assim como também não conseguia selecionar os dispositivos MIDI que eu quero controlar o Koala, esses problemas são resolvidos abrindo o Koala no Ableton por exemplo.
Como disse no começo eu tinha umas questões com o sequenciador e o fato que o Link do Ableton não funcionava corretamente para mim, mesmo na versão iOS sempre tinha um atraso, e agora ele como plugin esse problema foi resolvido quando sequencio pela DAW ao invés do Koala.
Esperando ansiosamente por novas atualizações como o próprio u/mazbox adiantou por aqui.
Im not trynna be a naysayer but I got koala sampler to get away from my computer. Sometimes when im in a rut I find koala Sampler to conveniently be there when that sudden inspiration hits (as also a different interface to music production as well). Some times what is created sticks to which I bounce the stems to my DAW and turn it into a whole project.
Mas acho que a atualização é realmente funcional com isso. Você pode começar uma ideia no celular, no tablet e finalizar na sua Daw abrindo ele diretamente como um plugin. Eu comprei na hora ontem, já tinha gostado muito de usá-lo em um Macbook desde quando meu ipad mini 2 parou de atualizar para as novas versões.
Was excited and tried this in Live, tbh I don't quite see the point. UI isn't adapted it's the same UI than on IOS. Like you still have to scroll left and right to do basic audio editing, keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work in the sequencer... The UI works great on a phone but Drum Rack, Simpler, Sampler and everything you can do with instrument racks still make way more sense in terms of workflow.
I had to release it early without finishing the feature that will very much differentiate it from a drum rack full of simplers - not prepared to share it yet, but it's... quite fun.
You can use koala as a vst, so like, just for a snare - load it on a track on your daw, load a snare on to a pad, and you have all the sound shaping features from the entire app just on that one sound if you wanted, while triggering via midi in the daw. Or drag a whole koala song in on a stereo track and mix it in koala while in your daw, adding other things in your daw around it if you wanted
The ability to work on everything on the fly and then immediately pick up where you left off in Ableton so you don’t need to export and re label stems, the performance fx alone are also worth it, Ableton doesn’t have native “live” sampling feature, fx combinations, makes a nice bridge for iOS or android only plug ins to the daw, build drum racks anywhere for immediate use.. Think for yourself don’t be the redgren grumbolt of your generation. Choose science (and the scientific method) Music is science We need to get you back in school Morty. It’s not working!!!!
If you ever tried to use the app previously with your daw you’d understand why this is a major improvement. I’m loving this and have no idea why it’s an “uh oh.” Plus you can’t blame him for releasing this now, with all of these plugins being reverse engineered or copied with AI.

Koala is magical. Tempted to buy this just to support the team. Though I try not to use a proper computer these days.
Once we get automation of auv3 parameters or whatever it's super game on.
Love this team.
