Koala Key

Is there a quick way to find key for a sample with Koala on iPhone? I have apps on iPad that have key detect but nothing on my iPhone.

What’s your favorite iPad app for this?

Segments will show what key it’s in, it’s usually pretty accurate. One thing I like doing if I’m unsure of the key is play an instrument chromatically until I hear the note matching up with the sample, usually works pretty quickly

On iPad I use sEGments but it has read a couple samples incorrectly and I have yet to figure out how to get samples off YouTube into segments on iPhone. Koala has an import function but no key detect. Will work out how to get sample from koala into segments. Koala’s tap tempo is kinda all over the place from my experience so far and sEGments won’t calculate unless it’s a perfect loop so I’ll have to figure out how to use both on iPhone and share between them I guess.

There’s several ways to get samples off YouTube, and once you have them easy to get into sEGments. I believe Segments can also record audio by putting it in an Audio FX slot On a channel in AUM

The Tube Au app
Several Video Downloader apps
Screen record then extract audio from that video, with an app or with Apple shortcuts.

Then once your audio Is into audioshare you’re good. It’s easily accessible through file manager, or slide over.

AudioStretch does, is universal and awesome to speed your samples up/down. Has a lite version as well.

It doesn’t detect bpm but will show you the note(s):
