Mate, if you set the buss before chopping, it split to pads with the buss setting. 😉
Oh nice!! I’m going to pin this to the top! 👍👍
@@nervouscooks 😮 I'm honoured! 🙏 Btw, there's a naff, cheat way of 'copying' EQ too if you've already split amongst pads: keep hold of the EQ setting whilst switching to another pad. Don't move your EQ finger though! 😉
Koala/Elf Audio is indeed a one man band, Marek Bereza, he's based in London (like you I believe?) and yes he designs for simplicity and ease of use. If memory serves before he started Elf Audio he used to work for apple as a UI designer.
That sounds right! He’s truly a hero and he’s built one of the best apps and best communities going! Salute to Marek! 👍
Just like the Logic-esque double click reset, you can also click on Solo in the mixer and slide along to solo the others, as per Logic again!
Nice tip!! 👍
You have a great style of delivery and easy to listen to. Koala is great and with your silky voice of liquid pearls… enhances the experience
😂thank you! Like most people I hate the sound of my own voice so I’m glad someone enjoys it! 👍
sick skins son
Thank you! I make them when I get spare time 👍
Just want to second what others have said about how awesome your Koala series has been. You have made Koala so much more useful. I really appreciate your calm demeanor. Thank you so much!
Thank you! Truly appreciate the feedback 👍🙂
Great video, in regards to why there’s only 4 channels… it’s because they are busses, the individual sample slots are the “channels” with EQ, Volume and Pan.
It’s like having a big mixer with 16+ channels with routing to busses.
I thought it was a clever concept and you’re right… we don’t need anymore than that.
I would like some level of automation for the fx slots though, maybe that’s next? 🤔
Thanks for all your hard work on these tutorials! I can't find anyone else who makes as high quality Koala Sampler content as you and it is so helpful!!! -🐸
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback 👍🙂
@@nervouscooksMate, you'll always be my choice. Clear & concise. There were some embarrassing videos in the last few weeks from bigger channels and they failed to mention the new mixer and fx whilst simultaneously asking for features that already existed, and others that will obviously never happen! 😂🤦♂️
😂 Well if you read this, dude... you are fucking cool. The tutorial series is outstanding and how you monetize this is really fair and also nurturing for us getting into this. You rock! Sending good vibes from half across the world. Will buy sample packs from your website later today. 🎉
@@huggyshaggles thank you! I appreciate the very kind words and the orders. I’m glad you’re enjoying the series! Thanks again 👍👍🙂
Good to have you back!!
Thanks 🙂
Nice to see you again
Thanks 🙂

Thanks!
Thank you! 👍👍
Another great tutorial. Thanks for your work on this app.
Great channel too BTW
Thank you
I've been waiting for your video since the update released
Contratulations! Thats fire!
Oh, it would be nice to include automation in the pattern to change the sample effects and pool of samples and prices. There is still a lack of send send channels for effects with an adjustable send level to the effects channel
4 channels is plenty. I use it more like a summing mixer
please make a video about mastering beats and why the sound becomes quiet after importing.
excellent, thanks !
I really like thos app. One thing i would really love is teh ability to play sequences simultaneously. This would turn if jnto a multitracker. Its joy possible right?
My guy….i JUST STARTED with Koala and…my Sp404 just got here TODAY so…NOW i HAVE TO HAVE THAT SP404 SKIN you have on your Koala!!! How can I get it???
Thanks for the video. For me it’s not really a mixer they added but the bus section of a mixer, but that makes total sense as we could already mix directly on the pads view as you say.
I’m fan of the sidechain feature, I’ve been among who were requesting it.
Now eager to see some vocal fx and like everyone : Auv3 host capability 😉
@alexandrosroussos If you listen to Marek recently you'll see he says how easy it is for him to create fx for Koala in this way, and how he isn't doing the .AU thing. Koala was always intended to pay homage to the old school work-flow of standalone samplers like the Akai MPCs & the Boss & later Roland SPs. It was never intended to be a DAW and it won't ever be. He has said as such himself since the beginning, so don't hold your breath! What fx here are for vocals? EQ, reverb, compression, & all else can be used on vox. 😉 And what fx would you like to see for vocals that you were implying?
@@thekeysman6760 regarding the Auv3. It’s not about FX plugins I would see it, but really to simplify sampling. Right now to sample an Auv3 synth is quite complicated. Either through recording the screen and importing the videos à audio, but it’s quite limited (can’t send midi notes then record) or through another host like AUM but the routing is a bit of a hassle, not really in the spirit of a quick sampling and flipping workflow that we get on the rest of this app.
If not full Auv3 support, maybe a specific module inside Koala or an independant companion app that would focus on accelerating the workflow of sampling internal audio, including creation of perfect loops through a sequence sent over to the Auv3 app or even other apps such as TH-cam/Radio apps etc. I definitely don’t see it as a DAW either and I like a lot the direction it is taking with this Mixer Bus section added that also gathers the FX.
As far as the FX are concerned, we do have plenty, and probably we’ll get more, that’s why I’m not requesting FX type Auv3 support.
For the vocals I miss those we find on the MPC or the SP404mk2 : a vocoder, doubler and auto-pitch correction. I see something was started there with the MIC fx in the latest update, maybe it’s there these vocal tools are going to end up 😉
@@alexandrosroussos A Vocoder? That involves both audio & MIDI at the same time to play your voice with a melody! If either the MPC or an SP has that as a plugin, I'll eat my hat! 😂 And you say there is also auto pitch correction on these two too? 😉 Wow. I didn't know that either...I think you're dreaming to imagine that will come to Koala! It's not a DAW, wasn't supposed to be, and never will be.
And how is plugging in an analogue audio cable from your computer into your Koala device hard, to record your plugin synths? I don't understand.
I'm not with you on any of this, as we have other tools already, and Koala is just meant to pay homage to the old school work-flow. It's a great sampler & sequencer combo and anything else is a bonus!
@@thekeysman6760 well, check out the specs of the SP404mk2, does include both a vocoder and auto-pitch input FX.
You also find those same vocal features on looper boxes such as the RC-505. The MPC does have auto-pitch and doubler. But for me the closest to what koala is intended for is the SP workflow with some more advanced sequencing capabilities.
Not asking for a DAW workflow. Bringing input FX to a sampler is not at all shocking to me, especially if the given app doesn’t host external Auv3 FX.
Typically samplers are all about grabbing sound and modifying it, most often with FX.
And in-app purchases on Koala : haven’t they been there to add bonus features anyway ?
@@alexandrosroussos Oh, wow! 😊 The MKII does have a proper vocoder! I'm amazed! Okay, I now see what you mean when you equate it to be okay to at least expect such features in Koala, when comparing it to these features in a standalone. For me in my life, these fx have always been a 3rd party plugin for a daw, & have slowly been added by the daw developers. I guess the MKII changed all this when it arrived! Thanks. I learn something new everyday!
I'm not sure what you're implying by the Koala purchases being "bonuses" when they obviously are, yet to some were imperative, but then it's important to remember how much functionality standard Koala offers for its low price. It's all relative as we are no doubt looking at it from different perspectives and plus I have no expectations from Marek as you may do. He's spent a long time doing this latest purchase himself and I couldn't possibly start asking for more, especially when it's going to be based on my subjective wants.
There are enough options out there, and using a daw anyway, I'm happy for Koala to be whatever it is.
only got this app a few days ago. my main gripe is setting the pitch of the sample. it always changes by + or - a semitone when i release my finger from the ipad. am i alone? it takes my like 6 tries to get the right pitch
!!!! you can disable it in the settings!!!!
What, what? 😉 Akai ONE+ now? So the SP didn't cut it? And do you still have Maschine?
No the Maschine has gone and replaced with the One +. I wasn’t in the market but it was too good a deal to pass up. The SP is still here! 👍
Great turorial, very helpful!
But tell me, when i load samples in the first section "samples" and i have some in Group A, how can i start 2, 3, 4..... samples together running synchron.
I press "hold on" and start a loops. A second loop starts, when the first sample is running and miles away.
Find no play-function to start all together.....or am i blind?
You need to put your samples into a “sequence” then hit play. Otherwise you would have to play all the samples/pads at exactly the same time which might be tricky. Use the sequence tab and open up a new sequence. Then add all the samples you want to trigger. If you’re unfamiliar with sequences there is an episode in this tutorial series showing you how to use it. If your loops/samples are all different BPMs you need to timestretch them first. 👍🙂
@@nervouscooks👍 yes, this seems to be also a problem: different bars and different tempis.
Your tipps are very helpful. Thanks for this.
Koala will be good for me for little gigs.
Don't need the hardware sequencer / laptop anymore and the tone-generators can stay at home. Must watch this weekend all your vids 😉
Big Up! Respect Due.
Hello, I am wondering how to update? I keep seeing all the videos and posts about this update but I don't have the option to update. My version is still 1.4080? Any help will be deeply appreciated. :)

complaining about a lack of features on a clone of a 20 year old piece of digital tech is pretty funny. we're so spoiled these days haha i love this app
**not you - some of the critics you mention in the first 5 minutes**
Another great tutorial. Thanks for your work for this app.
Great channel too BTW
