understood, thanks!
hold doesn't work in the sequencer or midi afaik
there is a new clipper FX, nice!
Hi all, I am running into an issue with some sampled sounds. I like to record sounds or voices, then zoom in on a single cycle wave from that sound and just have that play (by using “Loop”). This works well enough for single notes, but if I am playing a chord, there’s always some weird phasing going on in the sound (basically the volume goes up and down, cyclically) which makes it a bit buzzy.
What’s a good way to avoid this? I assume it’s happening because different notes are played at different speeds (since they are different pitches) and that unevenness is causing this issue.
I’ve tried using crossfade but it doesn’t make much difference.
(I wanted to attach a video with my question, but I get a format not supported error - is there a proper format to use for videos?)
Attaching videos directly won’t work. The best way is usually to upload to YouTube and then post the share link. You can make the video “unlisted” if you don’t want it showing in your channel. If you don’t have a channel it’s free to make one.
@Oregano probably best get in touch with koala sampler support if you think it's a koala issue: https://www.koalasampler.com/contact - it could be a few things, but it's difficult to say without the video you've made. If you've uploaded it somewhere pls post a link to it.
Thank you @wim and @elf_audio!
I don’t know it’s a Koala issue per se, it might just be a sampling issue in general. Here is the uploaded video:

It looks like koala is behaving as normal - I think the undulations are just the 3 oscillations interacting with each other - could be to do with the beat frequency phenomenon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)) - notes in a scale using the equal temperament (which is what koala and most other music software uses) means that intervals don't fit perfectly into each other (kind of hard to explain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament), so playing any 2 non-octave notes will create slight deviations like this. Not 100% sure this is correct, but I think that's what's going on. Using a more complicated sound than a single cycle waveform will mitigate this but if you're looking to work with clean tones, you will always hit this problem I think.
Thanks @elf_audio! This is pretty cool from an acoustics angle, even if it’s less so from a music-making one. It doesn’t seem like there’s much I can do from what I see, at least with these samples.
I’ve tried to use longer samples in the past, but then the looping is more noticeable, even with crossfade.
I’ll just embrace the lo-fi nature of working with found sounds.
Some of you will know all of this but this channel has some good, short, basic videos on using Koala with other apps + general Koala videos:
There's also some interesting non-Koala vids too.
Don't forget to give a "thumbs up" if you watch the videos - the guy deserves some more praise for his work.
Hopefully someone will find it interesting.
That’s genius they should be selling them !!!
