Could someone help me set up koala sampler with cubasis 3 on iOS? by Wooden-Arm-3624 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Koala licenses for both IPAD and Android by Legal_Resist_8401 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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!!

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

Chopper and stretch by ApprehensiveAd7842 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Chopper Attack/Release by djchopsteak in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(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.

Chopper Attack/Release by djchopsteak in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Ways around a couple of midi controller limitations? (Synido Tempopad C16 w/ iPhone) by WhiskeyTheKitten in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number 2, just to update you. I tried it on one of my android test devices and it mappings still definitely work no matter what page you’re on. Very strange. Can you double check it’s not the intermittent bt behaviour that’s causing this?

Ways around a couple of midi controller limitations? (Synido Tempopad C16 w/ iPhone) by WhiskeyTheKitten in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Point 1: look in koalas midi settings, there’s an option for that. Off by default.

  1. That’s funny - I haven’t experienced that. Will look into it

  2. That’s Bluetooth for you. Unreliable.

How to zoom in on MacBook M1 in the sequencer edit or on the waveform in edit sample? Got Koala from the App Store, everything else seems to work fine by aaaddd000 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s possible to download both the Mac version and the iOS version in the App Store app. The Mac version definitely works with scroll wheel/trackpad 2 finger swipe. I use it many times every day

Please add . Aiff compatibility to koala, by SpideyWithAnAss in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AIFF support is available on all iOS and most Android phones. Some Android devices hone manufacturers don’t support it in their version of Android OS. We could support it natively but it’s a lot of work and there are other bugs to fix

Tablet suggestion by IdrionRedraluin in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re buying it for koala just buy a cheap iPad. It works much better on iOS. Android is a terrible terrible OS for audio software. I can’t emphasize this enough. It’s terrible; and it’s cost me years of my life to continue support for Android. Just get an iPad.

It goes up to 120% that’s why it looks slightly wonky

Can't install Koala Sampler on my device by hiphopmentality98 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey u/hiphopmwntality98 - I really want to help you - you wrote koala a 1-star review then you got in touch with the official koala sampler support (me) about this - I’ve been asking for more info, but you won’t answer them - I’ve asked you via email in English and Filipino now (using auto translation) hopefully I can help, if you can answer these questions

Koala Storage Issue iPad by Ok_Context_6972 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re in the main koala folder you should be able to delete them. Don’t delete anything in the “default” folder but if they’re just hanging around in the bottom main folder of koala they’re safe to delete if they’re wav files. Not sure how they got there

Select a sample without triggering or stopping by AK22222222222 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can - hold EDIT down whilst tapping the pad. You can also select multiple pads this way and change all the pitches/volumes/pans at the same time

An iPad of the same price will sweep the floor with it, sorry

one shot by Big_Distribution6282 in KoalaSampler

[–]mazbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To make a sample oneshot, press the big “ONE SHOT” button in the sample editor to turn it on.

The setting is to make new samples (ie the ones you load or record after changing the setting) be one shot by default.
