Koala vs EP-133–Fight!
Koala is amazing, and Teenage Engineering’s EP-133 looks great, and similar in many ways.
I’m interested to hear from users of both, about which they prefer, and why, and which one does stuff better than the other. Etc.
Please, try to keep this one on topic.

To kick things off, here’s a great reddit thread

I found the EP-133 samples online a couple months ago and sometimes use those in Koala. I think one of the things the preference boils down to is tactile feel. As someone who uses an OP-1 Field, nothing beats that tactile feel.
Then again, the KO has less storage for samples, whereas I can sample any oneshot into a Koala project via AUM as much as I want within the 1TB storage space on my iPhone. 😅 (1TB is a bit overkill I admit.)
In many ways it's comparing Apples to oranges (pun intended). Both are fruits, but one has a nice tangy citrus flavour, and the other has a sweeter flavour. All boils down to preference.
Then again, is it possible to use the KO as a MIDI controller? I know I can use my OP-1 Field as such.
The KO is a cool standalone toy for sample based beats and beat competitions, not so much a tool that integrates well into a larger setup imo. I might get one when my focus shifts again away from House/Techno and synth/sequencer programming back to beatmaking and sampling records.
Koala has the advantage that it can be used well for each scenario. Now for House/Techno I'm mostly using it as a dump for FX sounds which I then trigger from pads within Drambo.
I've seen people using the KO for their drums, as a drum bus/group within a hardware setup. In a limited setup with a small 4 track mixer probably one of the nicer solutions for the money. In a larger setup you'd miss multi outs I think.
