In my work flow, Koala is a playground, sketch pad, and place to experiment. It is very fast to get going, and get fun results quickly as well. I deleted all my phone games when I got Koala, because on top of making music, it scratches my gaming itch as well with the way it is layed out for easy quick work flow and real time experimentation with sound mangling.
I have had many tracks start in Koala, then stems are brought over to mix with other instruments to flesh out the rest of the track.
@jrjulius and @FriedTapeworm
Thanks for the quick response
Just watched a few more videos
I am gonna jump on this
The thought of loopy pro and koala sounds like a good combination
Was gonna buy let’s Unmix but for the same money I get a new app and the Easter egg, does anybody know if let’s Unmix and koala use the same algorithm to split the stems ?
Ether way time to purchase
Sorry in advance as am sure over the next few days will be asking basic questions
Many thanks for your replies
Elf on the shelf take my money!
Ok
Purchased
And activated the Easter egg
Also purchased the av3
Samurai purchase later
Thanks all
@elf_audio while I’m not really into the feature ( I mostly sample myself these days) I think it’s cool what you did and what you keep bringing to the table, thank you for continuing to think about and add functions to koala sampler, it’s really a killer app, and gives me no end of inspiration and stimulus! You have a lifelong user here and I can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
Has there been an update of when the strum feature will return? I never got to try it 😭
Nothing specific -- just that it needs more work to be satisfactory.
It's an amazing app, and I found the easter egg by checking this forum, so I'm perfectly happy with the outcome
I’m in the same boat re: self sampling, but I’ve been using the feature to tear apart my finished tracks and it gets WEIRD (especially with my old lo-fi psych rock songs). I’ve also used it to tear apart resampled passages because you get a lot of unexpected artifacts and weird cross-contamination.
It’s one of those features I’m sure will get better as the neural networks improve, but I hope there’s some way to keep this “early days” processing as an option. Hearing snippets of my vocals bleed through a crash cymbal really caught me off guard, and I love it.
Yeah the artefacts really have an eerie quality! The algorithm is the same one that all the other apps are using but is far from state of the art (it’s about 4 years old), but dunno if the newer algorithms will run with limited RAM and cpu/gpu.
I really wish the strum feature didn’t leak but that’s my own fault. It will come when I get a chance to finish designing it. Got so many other things to do first (mostly android based 🫠)
@elf_audio this new Extract Feature is excellent. Please never ever remove
working perfect and the audio processing works fast for me. Thanks as always Marek
@elf_audio are we aware that when recording with the note repeat, the sequence will delete itself if you hold it down over the loop point and also if you have two fingers switching back and forth between different note repeat values?
I sample from the radio into the Octatrack quite a lot, and I just realized that now I can sample radio into Koala and use this fancy new Extract feature, then do further chops from there.
Hi guys, hope all is well.
I’m having a strange issue here with koala note repeat.
Notes keep disappearing during recording.
@elf_audio
@Samu
am I missing or doing something wrong?
Please have a look at video for better understanding
Looks like a bug to me...
...just to be clear are you latching/sliding your finger on the re-trigger pads?
(Ie. you never lift your finger from the screen while recording).
I'll see if I can repeat the 'thing' later on...
Cheers!
This definitely happens 100%. Every single time I use the note repeat. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, I think unfortunately it just doesn’t work too well currently.
If you hold the note repeat past the loop point as it loops back around, it will delete itself. Also if you have one finger on, for example, 8th notes, then put another on for example, 16th notes, the notes will trigger but the recorded sequence will delete itself. The ideal behavior would be akin to how BM3 does it where you can hold everything down and switch repeat values back and forth as it loops around and around and what you hear is what’s recorded.
So essentially it’s ok for quick bursts of note repeat, but if you are trying to hold down the note repeat for the duration of an entire loop and/or mix in different repeat values during the same recording, there’s going to be issues
@Samu @db909 has described it better.
@elf_audio there also seems to an issue with the iPhone version (iPhone 13 pro ) : when you trying to preview a sample to import, you hear nothing but when the sample is loaded onto a pad you can hear it. Tested in both GB and Cubasis.
Have a look
I had this on the iPhoneXR too - however it was due to me having “Silent Mode” switched On on my phone (i.e. the mode that’s activated using the hardware switch on the side of my phone)
Can you confirm if you have Silent Mode switched off?
I can confirm it has to do with the silent switch. Does it still happen on the XR?
Once @elf_audio told me about the switch (I always have it set to silent - EXCEPT when I’m using Koala’s file browser now ha ha!) then everything’s been fine for me on my XR ever since 👍
Having to apologise for doing something nice is just fricking nuts…and very 2022.
Questions about Koala.
Ideally I need to map launchpad to koala pads when in Drambo. So I can trigger koala pads via controller. Bonus. Record via same trigger pads.
When choosing the midi version in Koala. So you can choose midi channel per koala auv3. Can you still route controller midi to each koala pad?
When not using the midi channel version of mapping koala. So you custom map pads via koala by pressing a pad on koala screen. Then controller . Is koala recieving the different midi channels you give controller. If not. Does koala map across its/a keyboard range. So c1 mapping to pad isnt triggered by a c2 mapping of another pad?
Progress?
I’m excited about the Stems Easter egg. I have extracted stems with command line on my computer so this is way easier.
I haven’t yet activated though - found it by accident because there seems to be a bug where if you use the Edit - make mono feature the stems are created as well.
This app just isnt mappable. Even with the midi ch selection in koala. It only responds from a controller. When its Koala set to all. Making a controller ( I think would be ) across 2 ipads just be triggering koala pads when you dont want to trigger and when you map 64 pads in ascending octave. Notes just trigger everywhere. Not even similar to what the launchpad is sending. Keep trying to find the right octave and use the offset but notes are getting inverted sometimes in relation to mapping. Some left. Some right. Even though mapping is ascending.
Koala is midi mappable. It isn’t clear from your posts why you are having problems and to what degree it has to do with how you have it routed and set up.
I can explain but a test will be. If you can check with drambo keyboard. Koala midi version ( so that you dont use koala own mapping ) The Koala option that gives you a midi ch and offset. Koala only responds when midi ch is set to all and worse. The keys of Drambo. Just trigger koala pads not in ascending order. Across koala abcd pages.
This sounds like a Drambo routing question. You might want to start a thread asking for help using Koala's midi mapping in Drambo and post a video there showing what you have tried
EDIT: this message was posted at the same time as the post above
Same as aum. Keyboard just triggers random pads and Koala only works with midi set ch set to all.
