Koala is the ultimate pocket-sized sampler. Record anything with your phone's mic instantly. Use Koala to create beats with those samples, add effects and create a track!
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.

Packs a mean punch for the price
This is the best multisampler app I’ve tried so far on iOS by far. The features here rival those of some of the best hardware samplers with only a couple of minor limitations. You can sequence full tracks within the app pretty easily, the entire workflow from getting and manipulating samples to sequencing and exporting the song is pretty straightforward and the stems extraction feature is only seen in one other sampler I know of so far which is only available on pc/Mac so this is cutting edge sampling capability for a mobile software.
As a producer/engineer that started his journey early 90’s on an Ensoniq Eps16+ I miss having the ability to quickly chop samples and build kits, I use GarageBand iOS for recording on the go but the main features missing fom GarageBand iOS are available by using this apps Auv3 version as a plugin or dumping sequences thru IAA and both methods work pretty well I must say. There are 2 main features I’d like to see added that would make it a more comprehensive sampler, those being the ability to layer sounds nondestructively (currently you have to resample) and the ability to map key zones for sampled instruments. There are a few other tweaks if I were to nitpick but I rated it 5 stars anyway because this app is beyond awesome for what it does and I’m sure feature improvements will be equally dazzling.

Stenaulis,
Brilliant
Amazingly designed app. Incredibly fun and inspiring to work with. And the extra (very reasonably priced) add-ons greatly increase functionality. I’ve only had this app for a couple days and I already have multiple projects going. That said, I have run into multiple bugs during the short time that I’ve been playing around with this app, including one in which the audio can suddenly become incredibly loud and distorted. No fun if you’re wearing headphones.. Also, I have to deduct one star because I feel the the app could benefit from a couple basic features. As someone who works with a lot of ambient, drone-type samples, I believe the sample editor desperately needs some sort of loop crossfade functionality. Also, simple LP/HP filters would go a long way. All in all, a very powerful and fun app. Would highly recommend to anyone. Will update my review when the bugs are inevitably ironed out.
Update: After some bug fixes and the recent inclusion of sample crossfade functionality, I can now say that this app is pure perfection. Amazing job by the developer!

Great. Game!!!!,
The Best I’ve seen on IOS so far!
First of all I’d like to say I hope you [The Developer] never sell out like some of these other music apps have. I can tell a lot of thought was put into making this App and I sincerely hope you continue to be successful and genuine on you’re journey!
As far as the app itself I’d say it’s quite literally what I’ve been looking for all day. I’ve bounced back from app to app, even GarageBand and I gotta say this app is well worth it and I highly favor it now over the last couple things i’ve downloaded.
The premium price is well worth what your getting and it even comes in parts. So your not paying for more than what you need. I’m happy to find there is no subscription. And there isn’t a million add-ons I need to buy every time I want ONE more single feature. It’s fair and well worth what your paying.
I’m able to take files straight out of my iPhone, throw it into the app on some Pads, chop it up and create patterns straight off my phone with ease! Among a plethora of other things I haven’t even discovered yet.
I really just wanted something I could use while on the go when I’m out’n about feeling inspired. All I got left to say is this app among an overly saturated App Store full of glitchy, uninspired, greedy Music Production apps is amazing and well worth the cost.
Trust if you continue down this path of being altruistic and offering quality along side reliability I will continue to support you!
Cheers!!!

Sound Playground & Lots of potential
It’s pretty fun to play with, I bought the premium upgrades and really like the many possibilities you can do in this sampler playground. I hope the developer will continue to work on it because it’s one of my favorite apps! :) Oh and hey developer, I think it would be cool if you could make it so we can color individual pads for organization sake; I think it would be awesome and would also make the app more personalize-able for the user! ;) also another thing that would be handy would be the ability to record midi without triggering pads. Also it would be awesome to make the app more friendly to audio interfaces, because I’ve tried to use my Focusrite Scarlett Solo to connect my guitar and microphone and it kinda works but it sounds wack. Maybe I just don’t know how to use my gear lol would love these features to be implemented into the app!
Used_paper_bag,
My favorite music making App hands down!
Koala is so good for me because of two factors, being fun and being simple. I was hesitant and first to buy this app because over the years I have collected a large amount of computer software, instruments, and hardware samplers to make beats with. So for me I was like “why would I need this? I already have everything!” But my favorite beat maker posted a video using it so I gave it a try and wow. I loved it.
koala was designed to be intuitive and easy to use but still very powerful. In a age of complicated, extremely powerful beat making computer programs and Phone apps. A lot of my time is spent just tweaking on small details to make my song “perfect” which takes away from the natural fun flow of making music. Koala gives that back to me.
Is it worth the few $$$? Yes. I have music hardware that costs $1200 dollars and this app is more fun and easy to use. I love it!

My New SP-404 (and more)
This app is incredible. It’s maybe my single favorite app ever (not just music). If you are proficient with an SP-404 you will love this app.
It makes sample chopping such a pleasure. Beautiful, smooth, stable, precise - everything you could ever ask. So artfully laid out. The whole thing really is a work of art because of its beautiful simplicity and power. It embraces why people love the 404 despite its limitations and also embraces the iPad as an instrument. Thanks so much to the developer for this.
The one thing it kills compared to the 404 is the sequences. Bravo on that. It’s such a fast workflow. I can’t even explain how efficient it is. You just have to get in there and use it.
The effects are great on here but totally different than the 404. Good call on that too. You cannot do the 404 fx on an iPad. It wouldn’t work. This was a much smarter direction. (But if you nailed that vinyl sim, oh boy😳). The effects are really more like the pocket operator’s fx but more robust.
The one thing I would ask (to speed up my personal workflow significantly) would be to have an “export current sample” option just like you can export the current loop only. I do so much sample chopping in here and sometimes have a whole mess of things all in one file and would love to be able to just export one sample at a time.
Again, thanks for making my favorite app.

Big Bang for The Bucks
A five dollar sampler/sequencer app that can compete with the big boys? Yes. It’s real! I first discovered this app on Instagram with someone using this with the Beatbox midi controller. I immediately hit the App Store, and there it is! For $5!!!🤯🤯🤯 I have the Beatbox, but it’s also dope by itself. I was having creative issues with creating on my MPC One and this allowed me to get out ideas while I’m working the learning curve with the MPC One. I’ve banged out about 10 songs so far with my busy schedule. It’s great to get an idea down when you can’t lug the MPC One around everywhere you go. You can even sample from video using your iPad screen record feature and Koala allows you to import the sound and chop it all up! On your iPad, iPod, or iPhone, beatmakers/producers, get a Koala on it and you’ll be glad you did!

Like a better, more fun PO-33 or SP-404
This is far and away my favorite music app for iOS. I always keep coming back to it, paying for the Samurai update was a no-brainer. If you've ever used a teenage engineering PO-33 or a Roland SP-404 the workflow is very similar. That being said the speed with which you can do things in this app and the amount you can do blows me away. You can just use it as a sequenced sample player or, with the samurai update, you can now start turning your samples into proper synths in their own right (set em to loop and shorten the length a lot). The developer has done a really amazing job of keeping a good balance between quick music creation in the moment, while also providing enough detailed and smart additional tools so that you can tweak your sounds and beats to your heart's content - all without cluttering up the UI. This is one of the few iOS music apps I would actually trust live.

i love this app. 10 stars.
OLD VERSION: but lately after this new update even with NOTHING else playing on my ipad, everything is closed, background app refresh off, etc. It keeps randomly crashing on me and i lose all this work i had done. It is very very frustrating. not even beatmaker 3 or nanostudio do that. and Koala has never done it before. so If the amazing devs could figure this out for me then ill IMMEDIATLY GIVE 5 STARS. i only did one to get your attention. i use this app daily and i rely on it for a side income involving music production! please help!!
UPDATE: thank you so much for the extremely fast customer support. you sir are amazing!! i havent even had time to test the new update, but because the amazing dev got in touch with me so fast and worked so hard to try to fix it, i know that if i have any issues i can just email him directly and he will help me!! thank you so much

Lair-E the cable dude,
Like a mini sp-404
This is a very flexible app that allows you to chop samples and make songs. The controls are easy to learn. This would be a 5 star app if they improved the effects section. There isn’t really much ability to EQ the sounds so that’s a limitation. Recently the app has deleted four songs that were saved. The song name is saved but all the individual sounds deleted themselves. The app has also crashed quite a bit. However the app is less than $10. It lets you do way more than you’d expect. A positive thing is this app helped me learn how to sample, chop breaks, assemble my own breaks, make fun little songs. I’ve taught myself a lot with the help of this app and it’s increased my want to make music. I’m now saving up to buy an SP-404 so I can continue doing what I did with the app but with the real thing. This app is worth the money but not if you plan on making anything you want to save because this app might accidentally delete your saved progress
