“Koala Kabala”
A further experiment using Koala for making grooves and from grooves… tracks.
Comments
Certainly interesting experimentation going on there.
great. reminds me of art of noise stuff
Thanks. I’m enjoying the fact that every note gets “played” and not quantized into a precise 16th note slot.
The player comes though in the results that way.
I picked up one of their CD’s in the 90’s. One of the joys of Koala is rummaging through available audio files for
something worth pitch shifting into an “instrument”. The drum part is taken from a project built around a “Hip Hop
Drummer” 8 bar loop;. It was a totally different BPM than the project to that point but I just dialed down Koala to 80 BPM
and it adapted all my sequences accordingly.
fun! i love koala for the immediacy of everything. its just so simple to have an easy workflow
Very nice! I really love how the drum loop sounds.
That’s “Hip Hop Drummer” from Lumbeats. It has the feature that it will export a 4, 8 or 16 bar audio file with or without an ending bar. All the Lumbeats drummers have this feature but many have stopped buying these great apps because they are NOT AUv3. Go figure. I often use 2-3 Lumbeats apps to make one of those grooves where the percussion section has 1-2 drummers, latin percussion, and a hand percussion specialist. For extra world effect fold in some Indian Drummer or a Midf East Drummer. There’s loops are trivial to import right into Koala “as is”. Just align the BPM or use the stretch function to make everything sync.
Cool track. I love pitch shifting and time adjusting existing audio to find interesting things. It get even more fun when you overlay a few.
Regarding MIDI time adjustments, I have a question for you. I have a composition at 120bpm. I also have a Riffler audio track recorded at 60bpm (exactly half speed). The melody fits perfectly at that tempo but I don't care for the guitar sound. I would rather have a synth play the MIDI data at 60bpm within my 120bpm host track. Any thoughts? It seems like it would just be simple math to convert the MIDI data. I wonder if anyone has ever done that. When I was recovering from back surgery in the 90s, I wrote a MIDI sequencer in FORTH based on an article in BYTE magazine, so I know it's doable. I just don't want to go to that much effort for one song!
I would probably fire off a MIDI sender aimed at AUM that’s clocking at 60 and start a MIDI recorder like Atom 2 ( with link off) and AUM at 120. You’ll record incoming to AUM as real-time events and they get saved at 120 BPM.

I like your suggestion better. That utility site wants me to join something. Your approach sounds like more fun. I like this sort of DIY thing. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cubasis 3 has a MIDI Time Stretch feature:
Another Koala experiment… choir, horn samples and some LumBeats loops.
Just a single choir sample played across a chomatic keyboard in Koala
awesome experimentations @McD
@Paulieworld xequence has midi timestretch too if you have it
Yes, I have it but haven’t looked at it in over a year. Thank you both for your input. Much appreciated!
