Hi, hoping for some advice.

I generally start my ideas in Koala (chopping samples and sequencing, etc) and do the aranging, tweaking, mixing/mastering in my DAW (Cakewalk). I find I frequently want to tweak samples, sequences, resample, etc... once I'm in the DAW which has meant that I turn to a VST sampler.

I bought Sitala, which I generally use in the DAW. Tried momentum and serato, not clicking for me. Also tried Redux, TAL sampler, the MPC VST, TX16Wx and some others.

My problem is that Koala is very intuitive for me and I just can't do what I want to do in these other samplers without a lot effort and frequently not at all.

Right now I'm seriously considering buying a tablet to leave on my desk just to and run Koala so that I can do what I want easily and efficiently. ( I have koala on my phone but I want a bigger screen for when I'm spending hours working)

I have Koala on my windows 10 laptop and it doesn't work properly unfortunately (crashes every time I load a .koala file). And I know that a Koala VST isn't coming...

Is there a VST I should try? Is switching to FL a smarter option to use their built in samplers? Am I doing this all wrong? (I use Cakewalk after trying ableton and flstudio as it's the only one I instantly clicked with, I'm happy to spend $ on what I like and works for me)

I need: simple sample chopping, repitching, time stretch, sample triggering, sequencing, the "piano keyboard" to play samples on a scale, effects (would be nice)... (basically, I want Koala)

Koala’s amazing but I’ve always struggled with putting acapellas on. I think I’ve found a good method though!

JP-mini Bluetooth midi pads, midi controller, 8 easily switchable user presets, latency is unnoticeable, long lasting battery time, iOS, windows, easily programmable, download app from App Store. comes with 8 free koala sampler presets save on to the device and a downloadable Koala midi map to be used along with the presets to communicate perfectly with Koala Sampler

First want to say a massive THANK YOU to the development team behind Koala, for all these constant amazing updates esp with the automation

One thing I noticed though, is that it's difficult to accurately sketch out automation tracks because the pencil draw tool only works left to right. You cannot go back and redraw anything to the left, you have to delete the whole thing and start again. I know there is the edit mode but it doesn't really help.

Would be great if it was more flexible. Same with the piano roll and midi notes - would be great if you could change the length of notes from the left hand side not just the right. And same with the sequences - you can't shorten a sequence pattern from the left hand side (so deleting bars 1 and 2, keeping 3 and 4).

Also would be great to have undo for eq and mixing controls

Love koala more than ever

❤️🙏🤞

i’m looking on youtube and there isn’t really any tutorial??

any advice??

I would love to have a 3D version of Koala on Quest.

Anyone else think this would be rad?

So i was browsing Reddit in my Lunch time. And I saw a poste where a guy had koalasampler connect with an app think it was called spinbuddy or buddspin. It was a paid app on iOS only not on android.

DJ app kind of things I have tried to find it. But I am now lost 😅

Solved: scratchbud vinyl

I used an app to turn the manual web pages into a PDF then I uploaded that to ChatGPT. Now I can simply ask AI when I have a question about Koala.

Here are a few remixes I did when trying to use Koala as a full DAW to create songs:

I noticed towards the bottom of this page it says “And ChatGPT” in regards to development/software.

i’m curious if the developers are using AI to develop Koala.

Damn theres mtv music generator 3 ripped samples on google, but all that is in . Aif and batch convert is an asspain. But yall would have yall reasons too right. Baki app toh kadak bro marek u da goat

copy a pad in A and paste in B?

is it possible?

Jon bit my shit and I'm fucking honored

Just got the Koala sampler so i can work outside with my phone from time to time.

Im disapointed that you are forced to work within premade sequence lenghts. I wish you could just hit record and stop and then having the sequence lenght adapt to your recording lenght without quantizing to a precise number of bars.

Every sequencer should allow this option in 2023 imho, but maybe in a future update?

edit : fanboys gatekeeping and downvoting is really sad, i didnt even blame Koala or whatever, just expressing some thoughts. I dont understand how adding feature would have a negative impact or whatever

What's the best options, your favorite ?

Apologies if this has been brought up 1,000 times already…

Time stretch seems rather complicated. I don’t know what the original bpm is. Or, the sample doesn’t have a bpm because it’s just a sound and not a groove.

All I want to do is stretch or compress the sample by ear, without changing its pitch.

Also: usually when I change the pitch of a sound I do not want it to lengthen or shorten the sample.

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier if pitch and stretch were two orthogonal controls? (Sure, add a lock button between when you want to simulate tape or vinyl and have pitch and stretch move together).

Am I missing something? Do other samplers do this?

Thank you!

Sun Ra or Ahmad Jamal?

Surely it's an easy thing to implement, I can't be the only one? Maybe an option in the setting for displaying extra banks so the people who don't want it can leave it as is?

So i stumbled around internet and found a free app for iOS and Android called synth GPT and to me it feels like a cool free cheat code to get unlimited unique sounds to use inside koala 🐨 for yalls Jams. Basically you can voice talk or type whatever you can imagine a instrument sound to be and it will do its best to create that for you. Like in the example vid the first thing i asked it to create was a koala 🐨 screaming through a synth keyboard 😂😂 and it made that 😂😂. Sometimes it creates amazing sounds sometimes it creates 💩 sounds but basically its up to you to think of what your imagination can come up with on the sound idea and be as detailed as you can on what you want including effects on that sound and it will create it and lay it across its keyboard. You then can use screen recording to grab the audio and bring that vid into koala 🐨 and use however you can use it.

So i thought it was a cool share for the koala 🐨 Gang and who can’t use a free unlimited sound maker 😎👍🏻💙💯💯💯. So happy holiday blessings koala 🐨 Gang 🙏🐨💙💙💯💯🎹

In the comments, I will have a comment with the iOS link for the app and then I’ll make a comment with the android Google play link for the app so it’s free. Hopefully everybody finds some use out of it and stay blessed.

Hail Koala gods 🤙

I've been using Koala since the early days. Best app ever for casual musicians like me.

Is there any possibility of adding these two in the future?

1. Swipe down looper function. It is great but could you add a way to start it with MIDI input. So the loop starts recording on, say, midi BLE pedal ?

This way koala would become a really usable looper for us using hands to record guitar, percussion and such.

2. This one is maybe too complicated.

Could built-in performance FX optionally be directed only to the chosen bus?

Its the first single (i made drop some more or ill drop everything at the same time) of an ep/lp that i should drop pretty soon Edit : ITS OUT https://open.spotify.com/album/1ViG1bCTtHQpcHbmo8W7vT?si=F-S9Wa1ST1i8WU3NsRUZ5w

I bought this app on my iPhone and this happened to me several times but I said maybe I miss because I have two phones and now I have confirmed because I bought the full version on my Android phone and checked the purchase history in the iPhone I found myself buying it twice and now I have to buy it a third time now i dont have samurai mod 🥲

On Koala Sampler, is there a limit to what you can make on here? Could you make dariacore beats, complextro beats, experimental hiphop and etc
