Description
Koala’s super intuitive interface helps you make a tracks in a flash, there is no brake pedal. You can also resample the output of the app back into the input, through the effects, so the sonic possibilities are endless.
Koala's design focuses totally on making the music making progress instant, keeping you in the flow and keeping it fun, not getting bogged down by pages of parameters and micro-editing.
"Been putting that $4 koala sampler to good use lately. Undeniably great tool that puts some of these expensive beat boxes to shame. A must cop."

5 ★ Wow this is the easiest to use sampler! If my PO 33 grew a real display it'd look like koala. If my Electribe 2 S wanted to be understood it'd look more like koala.
4 ★ I LIKE EVERYTHING!!! the effects, the simplicity of the workflow, but I'm having issues with double triggering with my midi device, and it seems to be the app has the problem regarding this. I've tried my akai mpd218 on other apps but I didn't experience such issue. I hope that you could muster all the motivation you need to fix this issue. Nonetheless, this app is DUUUUUPER AWESOME!
4 ★ Create app for Android. Although I haven't tried any other paid ones, this one does a really good job at being a sampler, if you buy the additional Samurai mode. This adds up to be a bit more than I wanted to spend, however still a great app for drawing and recording inspiration. 2 suggestions, 1) record automation in the effects bar at least in patterns. Even the PO 33 can do this and I'm not sure why this can't be implemented. 2) Chain patterns together/ Play smaller patterns inside patterns
5 ★ This is THE BEST beat making app for Android I ever used. It's fun and very easy to learn, also the Samurai upgrade is worth buying as well. 2 bugs I've encountered so far: Audio clipping/latency issues during sequence playback (start and stop). Also, note data disappears when you slide the notes on the sequencer grid. Bugs aside, it just needs a few more Preformace & Sampling FX (3-band EQ & 4 voice chorus), plud additional tracks for the sequencer and I'll have a complete DAW on my phone.
4 ★ One of my number one music apps! Absolutely amazing! Only one request from my side: Is there any way of possibly adding a sends channel? Or a way to have the effects not effect all samples at once? Possibly even just routing which samples always send out Dry signals? That would make the app an ABSOLUTE all in one for me! Much love and keep up the food work <3
5 ★ Coming from using a PO-33, the workflow on this is so much more refreshing. I'm having lots of fun with it.
4 ★ I'm a novice, but so far this is a wonderful entry point into samplers. Being able to drag a sample to a new pad and have it create a new variant with Mic FX/Vanilla & Strawberry alrea baked into it would be very helpful. Also, the "warn before deleting a sample/sequence" option does nothing if you drag the sample/sequence to the garbage can. No warning is displayed for that.
3 ★ I would have given it 5 stars if it didn't crash as much. I have lost a lot of song progress to crashes and such. Now I know it's hard for the devs to make sure the app works on every phone ever, but mine is a fairly new one so I'd expect that later updates would solve this issue.
5 ★ Amazing simple to use sampler and sequencer. Best music app on android. Only thing I could ask for is some sample packs for download or sale in app.
5 ★ G.O.A.T - I have at least 10 music applications in my Android, with a lot of experience I declare Koala as the easiest and the best application ever. Easily, better than the Pocket operator by Teenage Engineering (Sorry guys, I'm a big fan!) +Ves | Easy recording | Easy Loading of samples | Drum Pads | 16 effects | 8 Effects for recording | Smoothest intuitive interface | 100% value for money | -ves | No drum samples | No sharing of music interface
5 ★ Hands down - the smoothest implementation! My +1 vote for: - global beat indication (like running lights) - sample editor snapping to bars/time - queues and follow actions - distraction free views - only pads / only fx
5 ★ Best music app on android. Perfect fun pocket sampler. Couldn't ask for something better worth your five bucks. I make more music now because of it.
5 ★ Made so many beats with it 8/10. It would score perfect for me if i was able to manipulate the quantzing of it. Once you record something, you cant undo certain parts of the beat.
5 ★ Works like a charm! Only suggestion would be to have a setting which you can play a sequence from the beginning each time you change a sequence when the setting is enabled.
5 ★ Thank goodness android now can import video, thank you. Very great app, simple to learn. intresting music usually came from the oppressed, the oppressed are usually poor, your app might help alot. Much fun
