Marek is my Favorite Superhero

[@ieatk2842]

He’s goat 💜🫶😭

[@wavetro]

DUDE this isn't just a sampler anymore. this is a full DAW!!!

[@SpikyHeadTV]

Didn’t expect to see you here, love your videos!

[@BikeBoyBanana]

Synth is missing tho

[@baL88537]

​@@BikeBoyBananawdym?

[@baL88537]

I used to make my beats in koala then mix somewhere else but know I buy this mix thing ita enough for me man 💀 I can do everything I need now

[@BikeBoyBanana]

​@@baL88537 for it to be a complete daw it would have to have a synth. It does not. And I don't need one either. I am just sayin.

[@BBoyMarcoo]

Incredible work. It is amazing, how you add such massive updates while still maintaining minimalism of the app. Those “little” bonuses like visualization of the effects are a brilliant way to help people understand the music production patterns in general.

[@kriss12loverap]

Arps chords mono-glide fm-synth And we good 👍 Very good app though

[@davidvanderhaar313]

You could build a whole career with this app. This is amazing. Thanks for building it and propping up a whole community.

[@Randuski]

This is not the update I expected. Holy shit dude. As always, incredible work. I have to point out too, with each update that adds a new function. It never interferes with the workflow. It’s always cleverly designed and works brilliantly

[@domingoleija3436]

OH BOY! This is still my favorite SAMPLER app. I'm 61 and you designed the most amazing tool for a seasoned percussionist who doesn't have time for menu diving.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

First off ty for this great update! I thought about a few things that would be future cool. 1. More buses 2. Tuner for tuning samples 3. Ability to save presets Thank you again.

[@JC20XX]

Saving FX chains would be sweet.

[@BIGUMAMI]

I would have liked to sit down and write a whole spiel about how good this is and how good you are at identifying your customer's needs and wants and implementing them but dude I don't think any amount of words will give justice to your dedication and hard work, I can honestly just say holy shit marek, holy shit. thank you dude. goddamn you're the best.

[@guythegoth139]

Hands down THE best phone-studio out there, getting even better! Great work guys.

[@haszoka]

I bought this just because it seemed fun but didn't spend time much on it and now every time I see new features coming I feel like how big of an investment I made just with very little money. Awesome work.

[@iamYork_]

So many people spend so much on equipment and DAWs when Koala does so much for a few dollars... Amazing app I really need to stop GASing out and use it more myself... Very cool update!!!

[@TheCosmicTeapot]

Bought the add-on halfway through the video. This makes KS exponentially more fun and useful and is worth every cent. I think I can hear Andrew Huang sobbing softly somewhere in the distance.

[@craigmitchell8892]

Fr mate I got his app instead of koala months ago and now that I'm finally getting into ks I feel like an idiot 😂

[@GavinVickery]

This was an instant buy for me. Thanks for continuing to make Koala awesome! Please don’t sell to some big corp that’s going to ruin it. Or at the very least, send me the source first 😅

[@danielphillips2855]

Proper Game Changer and the only decent sampler available for Android. I get lost in it, so intuitive. Absolute masterpiece of an app that can't help but get better and better! Huge congrats to the developer, should be proud ❤

[@babyslickj]

Tell you what. So far I've mostly used koala for doodling, creating ideas while I'm on the bus and pre-chopping samples to be honed later on my computer and primary daw. All of this mainly because it didn't have a mixer to polish sounds, and I didn't expect it to have one either. When I saw it got one, I was excited, but 6 minutes into the video I can tell this is a game changer and has versatility far beyond what I thought it would have. Can't wait to try it and take my ideas on to the next level.

[@JayVucci]

I love the things you’ve added! Finally a simple to use unit that allows me to do so much. You simplified time stretching and now you simplified side-chaining! I purchased so many different DAW apps for iOS I didn’t enjoy using any of them. Koala sampler has made music fun again! Thank you very much. 🙏🏼

[@Smelter57]

With so many dynamic effects to play with, this is going to need programmable automation, and that takes it into the big league of DAWs.

[@rokko_hates_japan]

So good! And I can't thank you enough for it being on android. Ever since ditching apple, quality music apps are the only thing I missed.

[@alexanderlane]

Kind of blown away! Love the visualizations too! Will be buying right away

[@natter3122]

koala is awesome, it hasn't entirely replaced my gear like my sp 404 but damn is it close. its so nice to have a sampler that's so powerful in my pocket. keep up the good work!

[@MarcosCouncil]

Thank you for this update. I’ve been waiting for this feature since the app was created. This is top tier stuff without breaking the bank.

[@oceanjaws]

I just can't believe how beautiful this app is. I've been using it for ages, but it keeps on giving! Thank you Elfman.

[@dreamstaticsounds]

This is possibly the most insane update yet! Thank you so much! I do hope you'll be adding mixer fx versions of some of the perform fx. Especially the comb filter and the ring modulator. Just wow. This is so awesome!

[@DewsySipos]

I really like the ui of the effect! Really nice playful, easily understandable, tasty interfaces

[@skieswatcher9321]

Wonderful new features and appreciate a lot all the detailed interactivity you created and added to each effect visualization. Congrats

[@AngryBrother360]

Koala Sampler....the gift that keeps on giving!. Thanks Marek!.💯🔥

[@gungasdinproductions1850]

This app has changed the way I approach making music. Can’t thank you enough🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Great upgrade/update.

[@MrTwentytwin]

Well damn! Glad I picked this up years ago! Akai needs to get with you ASAP! Koala has never disappointed me since I picked it up! Each update makes it better! Thanks!

[@CRtrain]

Wow - this is incredible. Thanks for all the hard work that went into developing this mixer, which, I gotta say, is much much easier than having to integrate AUM. This is refreshing.

[@DeaBroggn]

This adds everything to Koala that i was missing and more! I mean, effect sends, real sidechaining with a source? Just ❤

[@jacklewis6521]

Incredible how this app gets better and better! I've purchased both the Android and iOS version and it's been worth every penny! Keep it up!

[@TellyMcLean]

You are amazing Marek! I know I say this often but Thank you for everything you do for the producer community.

[@Sos4real]

Great update I don’t see it live yet but looking forward, thank you so much 🫡

[@j1d7s]

Wow, very impressive, I love what you did with the visuals, they really help understanding what is going on with the filters. You have an amazing sense for UX design!

[@timeconsumer325]

I'm only 5 minutes in but I had to stop the video and say AMAZING JOB. Really great enhancements contextualized in such a smart way. Can't wait to play around with the new features.

[@markmallory2528]

Marek, you’re an absolute MAD MAN! Just when I thought you’ve rested with this app, you UP the game AGAIN with something so FANTASTIC, that only a MAD MAN could conjure! Great work Marek and well worth it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🏆

[@cloneroom]

i am speechless...seriously, thanks for continuing the journey of koala Sampler....

[@villenium]

I never buy apps but I bought Koala. It’s that good.

[@youtubeii434]

This is next level man, i immediately bought it both on ipad and android ! You put so much into this update.. from all the mobile music makers : THANKS YOU

[@couetyanatole4776]

Thank You some much for this gift ! It's so generous ! So exited to explore those new fields !

[@JoseFernandes-bp6rc]

Thanks Marek! Amazing update.

[@michaelkonomos]

Worth paying for. For sure. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@SirMalikCobra]

Amazing update! We appreciate you greatly! Can't wait till the next update I'm super inspired!

[@MikeSekt]

Great new features! Much respect to you Marek!

[@LofiSunday]

CRAZY these are amazing add ons

[@littlehopeleft]

God-damn guys. This is the best fricking investment I ever made. Thanks so much.

[@Cap10NRGMusic]

Fantastic!! The best iPhone Sampler just got better!! THANK YOU!!! I will definitely be doing demos and making music iwth this addon!

[@JasonBunting]

Ridiculous functionality for the price, i love this app.

[@TheChameleon2008]

Just WOW, You a legend bro and many many thanks for these awesome updates!

[@oddballsampler]

So cool Marek! You’re a beast! You’re definitely on top of your business!

[@everybodyhasoul5438]

This is really incredible. Awesome work!!

[@natter3122]

ok I had to comment again - watching what the mixer is capable of is blowing me away. this is going to change the way I make music with this app.

[@furcom]

Those visuals are trippy as f... and help beginners understand what the effect does with the sound. I instantly bought the Mixer extension. Thank you guys for this amazing app. Best music production app, imo ❤🐨

[@dereksoto5390]

Awesome!! Really cool!! Now the mixer button bigger😄 Congratulations on an excellent update. ⚡️

[@Plonkapple]

YESS!! The mixer is a game changer! Thank you for adding this!!

[@FlipHybrid]

Spectacular upgrade!!! Really impressed with the UI of the effects! Tape Delay and flanger in particular look amazing! Great job on the compressor and the other interfaces as well, very pro :) (PS: can we get transport controls on the sample page?) :)

[@soliver68]

Great UX, nice visuals for the effects! ❤

[@spooky_zoo]

That Delay UI is awesome!

[@tevitamafi2188]

Amazing update on an already unparalleled sampler app! Thank you!!🙏 🙏🔥🔥

[@lumm71]

Fantastic! This mixer feature offers great new options and makes Koala even more professional. Thanks so much.

[@thekeysman6760]

A software can't be "professional" per se, but I know what you mean. 😉

[@ginotubbo1531]

Hey Marek I always hope you'll make this midi mappable one day! It's lovely to be able to do EVERYTHING just with a little phone but using all the cool features of your sampler also with various controllers is where it gets incredible for me!

[@dncrystal]

Absolute legendary activity. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@patrickbodine1300]

This app will do so much more than what I know what to do.

[@ninaandthedynamics]

thanks for this amazing update, marek!

[@sevenape]

This is a fantastic upgrade. Can't wait for the effects that Marek has planned for this. So far you get almost everything that the sp404 mk 2 offers for 15€! That's bang for your buck!!!!!

[@soysos.tuffsound]

Fantastic as usual. Insta-Buy for me. Anyone who approaches me about learning beat making and production, Koala is my first recommendation..... Love from Pittsburgh!

[@famtange]

actually incredible.. is it normal that i got a little emotional watching this vid? f me its just epic what youve done. Take my money.. its a steal anyway.

[@Mysterytrain323]

😮Mind blower! Cant wait to start playing with this. Many thanks.

[@DASIETE]

this is the absolute most informational video that exists within the iOS sound design realm

[@gleannmhuire]

Thanks again Marek. Great work

[@manti1923]

Brilliant finally I can have more control of the sound effects on each sounds

[@NameNoListed]

Excellent work. Saw this and updated immediately. Is good.

[@CarlFranke]

Mind blown!!!! Beautiful.

[@luciendevolontat2488]

Yes, I will grab this as soon as I can. Koala was my first app, and I love it still. Thanks🎉

[@ralphgodden]

wow - brilliantly designed app Marek - you've outdone yourself again. bravo

[@RemixSample]

I was thinking about this the other day! Can't believe it's real now! Awesome!

[@VolterSvainber]

very favorite application. ingeniously optimized, absolutely low processor load and powerful sound, and runs on different devices and makes it possible to create music on Android systems all over the world where there is no possibility of buying expensive devices! Thank you!

[@furiousfoggy]

Looks great marek!

[@chosenonebeats]

Simply brilliant, purchased.

[@josephpaul8911]

Koala. It’s become one of my favorite and go to music apps.

[@PoppaDocRocks]

That’s really cool how it’s just bussed, with 4 options, then to a master Channel. The easy drag and drop fx, parameters in the fx, the visuals, nice step in koala evolution. Really great balance of access and power, so cool. The FX look and sound so dope too. Awesome stuff. Congratulations!

[@thekeysman6760]

Bussing is just how we mix down in a DAW or recording studio since forever.

[@PoppaDocRocks]

I understand, what I meant was the busses were already set up for the user. So you can simply assign what track to what bus and it’s automatically connected to the master. Let’s call it partially-pre-routed, lol.

[@thekeysman6760]

@@PoppaDocRocks I get you now! 👍

[@jaydeepalmer]

This is HUGE!! Instant buy! Thanks 😊

[@johnringopowers4527]

Your amazing my friend, and Koala is amazing! Thanks for the update!

[@ruicosta7016]

Amazing update! Would be so cool if we could automate the parameters of the new built-in plugins :)

[@Asmrpresenter]

Some of the effects remind me of the old soundforge, brilliant x

[@BurgerBeatz]

Absolutely amazing job, I love this app

[@Nomo_Popo]

Awesome implementation. Very exciting! Thanks

[@0e0]

the visualizations are truly beautiful too.. big up

[@matthiasbreitenbach4831]

Thanks a lot for your Work and Koala!!!! All the best for you.

[@meenasalamamusic]

This is the update I’ve been waiting for, time to sell my sp404. Only reason I haven’t is because of the many tweakable effects. With the new mixer and effects with parameters there’s not much of a difference between the two other than skipback. This really is a game changer!

[@afk_hesh]

have you sold it yet? im in the market for one!

[@BIG1TOWER]

My goodness this was the update i was looking for. Now i can use this app standalone.

[@chrismunky2269]

This app has made my week!

[@sofiejensen3804]

This is brilliant. I love it

[@mnlrbeats]

I almost only use my phone because of you to make beats. I am in Love!

[@nullhunnad]

Wtf. This is so sick. Everything I dreamed off. Wish i would have gotten a better phone than the Pixel 7 pro. The Pitch Shift kills it

[@JohannesLind]

Hey I just came up with a cool idea for the performance section, I don’t know if this will reach or you like the idea but I wanted to give it a shot and share it: so basically very simply you put an extra fader on the right side which has assignable effects, (kind of like the performance knob on elektrons) so it could work for example in a way that you click it once, and it highlights and now you can choose by clicking on the other performance fader which ones you want to effect by moving this one custom fader. In this way you can easily create cool fx combinations without having to do finger acrobatics,.. oh and maybe also a dry/wet on the other side, for the effects, to be able to fade them in more smoothly.. Thanks for everything this app is really amazing :)

[@Mardial]

Marek is the man

[@joelriquelme14]

This is awesome! I really love all the work behind Koala Sampler. I use this app almost every day and this feature has a massive potencial. Thank you so much!!!

[@nd.b77]

This tut is good (and me like those drums, too).

[@chaachocino]

Simply Thank You ! 🔥🙌🏿🔥
