    Pocket operator sync. Nice. :-)

    after day of use haven't found way to record from IAA without stereo to mono conversion, issue? And the sequence change is only instantaneous, seems no option wait for end playback

    yes, even in Apematrix a stereo AU instrument can’t be recorded in except in mono.. when you look in Koala settings/audio it shows the I/O as 1 in - 2 out IAA .. and there is no way to change this ... @elf_audio is it a bug, an oversight or some necessary restriction that we don’t know of ?

    Can anyone tell me what “scroll background image” does

    Just what it says. It auto scrolls the background image. Very distracting imo but unique for sure.

    Hmmmm i was thinking that was what it did but mine isn’t scrolling, could just be the image

    Hey I just downloaded koala and love using it. I have a Roland tr-6s which is an audio interface and midi controller through usb. I want to be able to control koala on my iPhone with the tr6s while the tr6s handles all my drum sounds.

    I watched this video and he’s doing exactly what I want to do. All I know is I need to buy a camera adapter kit.

    Will using audiobus make this possible?

  • robosardinerobosardine

    Just wondering. If it syncs to the Pocket Operators will it sync to the Korg Volcas as well?

    @elf_audio have you removed Export Stems since latest update?

    You can still export a 'Live Set' with all the stems, all stem-files are in the Samples/Imported folder inside the ZIP file.

    Is there any way to trigger koala with xequence in aum without audiobus?

    I'm curious cause this seems like a brilliant idea for full track kind of thing and I adore the xequence porno roll, but I'm a bit green with midi routing stuff.

    Edit: my phone auto corrected piano roll to porno roll but I left it because I laughed so hard when proof reading.

    AB not needed. In Xequence, set the track to send to AUM. In AUM route, from AUM input to Koala in the MIDI Routing window.

    @stormbeats

    Export stems is still definitely in there. There are more export options available than the previous version, not less - you can now export just the samples of your pads either raw or edited (ie bounced or baked or whatever you want to call it)

    @samu ok will try that but really want to export stems in just one sequence Will re check Cheers

    @samu @elf_audio ok I tried the export all sequences I think there is a slight change now because before if I can recall you could export stems for current sequence too. Its a bit more work this way if you have a lotof sequence ideas and want stems from just any chosen sequence. Will work with it though

  • stormbeatsstormbeats

    @elf_audio export current sequence /One file for every pad I think was in previous versions

    If you export a Live Set you'll get stems for each individual sequence.

    That works for me.

    @Samu true but the ableton files are 16 bit/44.1khz . Koala was previously fixed at 48khz and exported at 48khz. So wanting to add to previously exported koala projects in my DAWS with project settings at 48khz is going to cause pitch problems with 44,1 exports. Cheers though.

  • stormbeatsstormbeats

    @elf_audio can you possibly bring back exports at 48khz like before. Was perfect for importing into 48khz DAW projects Now a lot of sample converting before exporting more stems into previous projects for completetion within DAW as the Koala DAW projects I had to complete were at 48khz . No worries if can not revert though

  • SamuSamu

    @stormbeats The exports seem to be dependent on the hardware sample-rate of the device.

    My iPhone 8 exports at 48k while my iPad Air 2 exports at 44.1k.
    I know not optimal, individual samples are exported at 24-bit at device sample-rate while mix downs are 16-bit.

    The iOS/iPadOS hardware sample-rate mashup affects quite bunch of other apps as well.

    Hopefully @elf_audio finds a way to fix this.

    Personally I still miss proper input selection so I can select & use any of 4 inputs on my UR-242.
    (This would also require Koala to get settings for preferred sampler rate).

    But these are 'technicalities', I enjoy Koala for what it is, a super fast and fun to use sampler on the go :)

    Cheers!

    You’re not missing anything imo. It makes me dizzy 🥴 lol

    Ha ok i see what it is now, when you play the sequencer it moves. Its kinda cool but def can make you dizzy

  • SirtSirt

    I think there is an issue with the sample not playing fully after this update and iap. It cuts off half way through (the white vertical line that goes across stops about half way). Doesn't matter if I move the highlighted area, it only seems to play 50% of sample.

    @Samu previous updates exported at 48khz. Now 44.1
    Regardless of device used ipad iphone etc

    @elf_audio @Sirt not saying it is but might be related to the new koala 44.1khz fixed sample rate thats changed from 48khz.

    What a fabulous update!!

    I made for koala a custom mode for launchpads.
    It gives you access to all 4 banks and uses the standard midi mapping (no user midi mapping needed).

    Download it here (it can be uploaded via novation components to the launchpad):

    I use it with my LPP mk1
    https://github.com/mat1jaczyyy/lpp-performance-cfw
    https://fw.mat1jaczyyy.com/modes

    The pads send on midi channel 16, so you can use the other channels to play synths. The pro launchpads offer velocity output, so you can play with dynamic.. Here are my settings in koala:

    Thanks for this, now loaded onto my LPX, app and controller playing beautifully together. I agree, fantastic update (with Samurai).

  • wimwim

    I'll start by saying it again: This app is the Best!

    but...

    I'm having pretty dire sample rate issues. On my iPad Audiobus and AUM default to 48kHz, so when Koala is loaded in there Koala runs at 48kHz. If the session was created in the standalone, or when for some other reason AUM/AB were at 44.1kHz, the pitch is wrong. Or, if the session was created when loaded into a host at 48kHZ, it's pitched wrong when I run standalone, which defaults to 44.1kHZ.

    This leads to creativity sapping gymnastics to first figure out what the sample rate of the project should be, then to convince the host to use that sample rate. This involves quitting apps, setting sample rates in the right order so they don't get overridden, etc. This process has to happen every single time I open a session if I care about tuning.

    Add this to the mismatch if a 48kHz session is exported.

    I also think there may be timing issues with the sample rate mismatch. Sometimes a pattern has an intermittent gap in the playback. I haven't checked it out, but suspect this could be occurring when a 48K session is running at 44K or vice versa. Just a hunch.

    I can manage now that I know to look for sample rate issues, but I really hope this one can get sorted out. It's going to confuse a lot of people I think.

    Whoo buddy. that samurai update is a doozy. I was hesitant to upgrade since I don't use Koala all that much (I use the FX all the time tho), but the auto chop alone is worth the cash. I've been stealing drum breaks all day. Also, It's way easier to get experimental with that timestretch and piano roll makes sequencing soooo much easier.

    Thank god for @jakoB_haQ otherwise I woulda missed it :lol:

  • GeorgeL909GeorgeL909

    Looks like I'm easily able to control koala via midi with xequence through aum or directly from x2.

    I can control all the pads with midi, and I can control a single sample chromatically if I open up the sequence page and select a sample with the keyboard icon enabled.

    Is there any way to possibly do both at the same time?

    For example: have multiple tracks or channels in xequence, where 1 track controls playback of the pads as 1 shots, and another track controls midi playback of a particular sample chromatically?

    The idea is to see if I can build a whole song in xequence with drum one shots on one channel or track, a chromatically triggered bassline on another, chromatic lead on another etc.

    I know this is stretching way passed the intent of the sampler, but if it's possible, it would make xequence and koala a fun standalone pair. I realize I can almost do this internally within the built in sequencer, but if I could outsource it to x2 it opens up more scales, higher note resolution, and easier piano roll editing, looping, and arranging for full songs...

  • elf_audioelf_audio

    Hey @GeorgeL909 - what are the main things that xequence let’s you do that koala is missing? Just wondering if there were 3 or 4 main things, it would be good to know.

    With regards to having keyboard mode and non-keyboard mode midi controllable at the same time, I think it’s possibly a bit too complicated to do conceptually within the design of koala. It’s not difficult to program, it just needs more buttons and those buttons can confuse the majority of users and water down the effectiveness of the interface
