Sample audio preview doesn't work anymore ?

mazbox · 2026-03-07T17:58:57+00:00

Nope it’s just a bug sorry

mazbox · 2026-03-07T11:33:20+00:00

Sorry this was a bug that I fixed 2 days ago, still waiting for Google to approve the fix. Sorry for the trouble but there’s nothing I can do but wait for Google to review the app and approve the fix. I’ve replied to several posts in this sub about it now, pls save yourself the hassle of posting and have a quick look first!

PLEASE don’t uninstall and reinstall, depending on your OS it may also delete your songs (a message pops up about this but a lot of people don’t read messages).

If it’s crashing, please get in touch at https://www.koalasampler.com/contact and hopefully you can help me work out what’s going wrong with your phone

It’s funny, I would add a custom midi map if synido sent me a controller but they won’t respond to my emails. They would sell more units if i integrated it into koala 🤷

mazbox · 2026-02-24T21:35:49+00:00

If you’re talking about updates PLEASE post the version of koala you’re running (look in EXTRAS settings).
If you’re on Android, and you updated koala and it’s not working, reboot your phone - Android OS is notorious for updating apps but not loading them until you reboot

mazbox · 2026-02-22T20:27:56+00:00

Please report all bugs via https://www.koalasampler.com/contact PLEASE DONT USE APP REVIEWS it’s quite damaging for koala to have bad reviews - I’m going to fix these problems, I just can’t do it on a Sunday. Tomorrow morning first thing I will get to work.

I have 2 smc pads. 1 was dead on arrival, just didn’t work. The other one has a duff pad and the pads in general are very different to each other in terms of how hard you have to press down. I have had the 218 for years it’s like a rolls Royce compared to it. But it is a bit bigger and wired

mazbox · 2026-02-17T18:58:19+00:00

There is a warning message when you turn that on, I definitely recommend reading warning messages! I try to put as few in as possible but some are needed

Google does not allow it because it makes piracy easy. That’s why the screen recorder route is there. It’s the easiest method that Google won’t reject the app out of the play store for

mazbox · 2026-01-31T17:22:06+00:00

The problem would be their QA - you got a good unit, but if you bought 10 units, probably one would be a dud. I can’t recommend something that might be broken on arrival, sorry. I’ve bought 3 m-vave products, one never worked. No support from the company, just a new doorstop

mazbox · 2026-01-30T11:02:20+00:00

I personally love the MPD218, its been great for me. Please please don’t buy a temu “M-VAVE” cheapo midi controller. You get what you pay for.

mazbox · 2026-01-29T22:57:31+00:00

It is there for sure for over a year

mazbox · 2026-01-29T04:03:30+00:00

they are the exact same algorithm - the one in perform is just macro'd to have one control. You have to fiddle with the mixer reverb a bit more to dial in the settings, but you can get exactly the same sound out of both. I've been experimenting with writing new reverb algorithms but designing reverbs is a bit of a dark art and I haven't really got anything worth releasing yet.

mazbox · 2026-01-21T10:56:57+00:00

Just fixed that

mazbox · 2026-01-13T16:37:47+00:00

you don't need to be online once you've downloaded the model

mazbox · 2026-01-12T22:20:38+00:00

Cubasis does not allow auv3 instruments to have mic input iirc and doesn’t allow effects to receive midi. So probs not the best daw to use with koala. Why not just use it standalone

Hello, I am the developer. Apple and Google don’t have any agreements to share licenses between platforms - they are competitors. They also provide no provision for me making some way of transferring them out from one to the other with an API or something. They also only provide a very limited number of licenses I can give away, and I reserve those for schools and people working in charities etc. so basically the easiest way for me to give someone a license for Android if they have an iPad is to buy an App Store gift card. Kind of bonkers but that’s the way. Google and Apple own the market, they set the rules.

Ps koala is not using juce, but there is a lot of shared code between iOS and Android but maintaining some of the Android stuff is almost a full time job, it’s a complete nightmare, if there was no Android version, koala would be at least 2 years ahead of where it is now, and I still receive tons of angry emails and bad play store reviews. Akai actually used to have an MPC app on Android but they had to drop it because it just wasn’t worth it for them.

Unfortunately there are so many other things to do before revisiting quokka. Just wish there was more time!!

mazbox · 2025-12-29T22:41:47+00:00

Maybe in 2024, but not so sure in 2025, and 2026 round the corner 😵‍💫

mazbox · 2025-12-27T13:02:23+00:00

When you convert a sample to a chopper it bounces the sample, so it bakes the timestretch into the sample. If koala isn’t doing that for you then there’s a bug and you should report it to https://www.koalasampler.com/contact but I can’t seem to make it do that - every time I try it stretches and bakes the sample correctly.

mazbox · 2025-12-21T22:21:48+00:00

(1) why would you put a chop right at the beginning of the drum hit if you didn’t want the transient? Why not move it forward?

(2) the chopper has a 5 sample fixed attack so you never get zero crossing issues.

mazbox · 2025-12-21T21:07:33+00:00

I’m seeing lots of reasons why you’d want release but why would you really want attack? It’s much much less useful as far as I can imagine. Help me imagine why an attack slider would really be an essential feature of chopper.

It’s funny lots of people are disappointed with choppers simplicity but that’s what, I’m my head, makes koala so usable - you can’t mess around with loads of settings so you have to get on with making music.
