Koala's New Keyboard

[@tasteapiana]

You just scared the bejeebus out of all the synth developers out there with this update.

[@Payan8]

A feature I would love added would be mono legato for pitch bends. Would be great for 808 slides/glides.

[@monodux]

Ridiculous. Polyphonic keyboard?! This app just keeps getting better. Thanks for your wonderful work.

[@GeorgeL909]

Thank you so much for the update, including the auv3. My favorite sampler period, both in iOS and in general.

[@Khordmaster]

MAREK IS THE MAN!

[@xafac]

Deactivating the 4 finger shortcut is anyway a must for any iPad musician ;-) Nice work on Koala ! (Since the beginning) Well done and Thank You!

[@TheChameleon2008]

WOW, These updates you drop are so amazing!!!! Big thumbs up bro and many people will love this!

[@ricardomilice2470]

I was down with you since day one……..appreciate you 🙏🏾 and taking time to listen to us and adding your touch.

[@Philodrone]

Instant purchase for me! Next stop Ableton style Koala DAW 😳

[@grafemo]

Oh my, thanks for the update and a new video! I've just got the synth from a very short loop and it sounds amazing with the grid keyboard.

[@michaelnervOus]

it just keeps getting better, well done! I no longer care about the pile of sampler apps I have collected.

[@foryou2728]

This is the BEST! Thank you for updating this app and keep up the good work!

[@F_letc.h]

Another brilliant update. Much appreciated!

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

YES!!!! This is soo much better man :)

[@HowMaxmakesmusic]

Nice! I love the grid tho but this is useful!

[@elfaudio]

You can have both!

[@HowMaxmakesmusic]

@@elfaudio Yeah! Really happy with this!

[@PSIKOPATIK]

Is this update only for iOS an not Android?

[@RCAVDH]

Thank you for another great update, i love this app and use it a lot on Android and iOS.

[@keyayco]

Literally just trying to figure out how to paste my copied notes😂😢

[@renaulth2009]

Amazing stuff Marek!

[@andreffdafonseca]

Awesome!

[@bananepoep]

My most used music app got a new ultra cool keyboard 🎹 Love it 👌👍🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@yangtze2000]

Wow! So now I'd like to hook up a small hardware keyboard to my phone, and have the notes playing out of Koala via midi to a synth. Is this achievable?

[@Metamophisis]

Dope video 📹 yo! 🎹🔥💣🎵🎶🎧😎

[@M-Scherbakov]

Great work guys! But I would like to have possibility to switch between poly and mono, it would be fire

[@elfaudio]

Just put your pad in a choke group for mono, otherwise it’s poly

[@khrix1185]

Thank You for the updates

[@kriss12loverap]

Yo can u add chords and arp to keyboard mode? Also a better way to arrange clips would be cool 😎

[@strandedaliensband]

The new keyboard does not show up on my Note 8 device. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it will not open the new keyboard. ??? I also have the Samurai version.

[@LiveLoopers]

Very very cool! A great day in iOS music history.

[@amslu]

Nice update! Could you also add an option to set grid keyboard to 4ths tuning? Like a Linnstrument? I’m a guitarist and 4ths tuning makes so much more sense for me when playing chords.

[@legaciebeats2686]

What about android

[@stephenselby4252]

I downloaded koala yesterday and upgraded to samurai，but I don’t get this piano keyboard.

[@maurice8732]

I DON'T HAVE NONE OF THOSE OPTIONS I DON'T EVEN HAVE AN ARROW BUTTON TO CHOOSE ANYTHING ITS NOT EVEN THERE WTF AM I MISSING?

[@pennypan3708]

Hi I purchased koala sampler and in app mixer fX yesterday but when I turn my iPad Pro to landscape mode, there is no piano roll, so is it not included in the latest version?

[@Punk_Mayhem]

I just don’t get it, this messiah of an developer created an epic app, which is going to be the hall of famer app in the near future. Just at the features, among 6 billions of lazy, unappreciative and morally corrupt people, this guy is the only person who’s going to change the form of art and creativity with his sincere efforts and integrity. Please, please kindly don’t post these kinds kind of totally self-indulgent and unnecessary demands. These really shows how much shallow the human race try is. The point here is that, you didn’t developed this gem of an sampler, this guy did, and kindly have the decency to put trust and respect for him. He is going to make this app much much better with the passing of the time, and will certainly add more unparalleled features that’s what I truly believe, as I have seen him doing this consistently. The things is , these “I want this, I want that, “ really underestimate the integrity and the effort of the developer of the koala app. Let him do his thing and kindly be a little bit appreciative with what he’s been giving to the community. Thank you so very much, dear developer, for being the one amongst the billion. Thank you so very much, I’d like to convey my sincere and deepest gratitude. Looking forward to the change and ideas you’re going to implement in the future. With kind regards. Thank you.

[@toonboy7]

THANK YOU!!!

[@Tismuggle]

Hello there, I just tried the koala sampler app and thank you man you make me fall in love with music(maybe creation again!). The interface and operation are really intuitive, and i think it's better than any launchpad or pure groove box, etc. I think it's a great tool for me to practice my guitar, too. By the way, why are there always some tools like a wrench and a screwdriver next to your iPad in your video? Did you use them to develop the app?🤨

[@elfaudio]

Haha you’re the first person to mention the tools. Yes, they’re very useful for making high quality music apps🥸

[@Tismuggle]

​@@elfaudio Wow, there goes the magic.🤩

[@lanadelreyfanforever]

I haven't got this on my Lenovo tab I've purchased samurai as well on my account

[@allieboy181]

I just wish you could add the labels for all the keys

[@blindboymusic8262]

Please let us Midi Map the Hold Button, and possibly add a mixer option? I know that sounds odd, but even a general "Sequence Master Volume" and "Samples Master Volume" could make the difference in how a performance could be managed. would want to map those to knobs. Thank you for this amazing app.

[@spectralknights2]

Nice. I wonder what will be the version 2 of this 😊

[@ShanMichaelEscasio]

hello good sir! I was mindblown about your app. I had been wishing for a sampler app for years that has the ability to be triggered on a keyboard. I have a korg kross 1 61 (which has no built in sampling becaiuse it is low end) and this app is a dream come true for me so I purchased it last night and tried. But i still have trouble with mapping my samples. Is it possible to, say, put samples side by side? Say my first sample is in C2 then i want the next to be in D2 or maybe C#2? because what happened was my sample went to C3. I need the other regions of the keyboard for my patch combis and i will just want to allocate 2 keys to trigger my 2 samplers.

[@lanadelreyfanforever]

I mean I haven't got the piano 🎹 I have the piano button but it doesn't do anything it just says choose

[@heal6752]

So cool!! Bravo and thanks to you ;)

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

How do I get the keys pulled up in the first place ?

[@MultiMam12345]

Great new features but first thing that comes to mind when seeing you switching 3 pages back and worth to do what you want to show. Suggestions -Locking and zooming is nice. But 2 simple buttons for Octave UP/DOWN is essential. In addition to the zoom lock slide functionality. Or it will drive anyone mad. -2 buttons for selecting previous and next sample pad to switch between pads/sounds without switching pages. - full control of the sampler, adsr, fx, while playing the keyboard - easy audio record into a empty pad while playing the keyboard + fx + manual startt point granular party. ) In general you want to Play keyboard. Switch pad/sound. Octave up and down. Change the start point, go granular. change, filter, release. add delay, reverb, FX, hit record. Play/jam. Stop record. Played sequence is recorded as audio on a empty sample pad. Love Kaola but it could be 10 times more intuitive for playing/jamming with all of the above on a single intuitive performance page. I hope you can relate to my suggestions. Thank you!

[@spokefast]

is this update out yet, i dont have the keyboard. also, great updates!!!! you are too kind to us. im so grateful for this app

[@TheChameleon2008]

then update the app because its there in sequence mode.

[@spokefast]

@@TheChameleon2008 yea i figured it out later, for some reason it wasnt working before

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

My app is not updating. I am on Android. Am I missing something?

[@t-__]

Am I right? The keyboard isn't on my Android phone, no? Yes? I can't activate it.

[@reefwarren]

Nice new add on.

[@wasimoto_7540]

Please on Android! Love the app.

[@furcom]

imo the best music production app on Android. I love the minimalistic aesthetic. I hope you will never change the design 😅 Everyone who bought this app should definitely get the Samurai extension too !!! Thank you for this beautiful app 🥰

[@rubberduky1829]

I just purchased the app about 10 minutes ago on Android, there is no keyboard like the one that you're showing. I paid the full 4.99, but it's no different than from before. I did turn the phone in landscape mode, no piano keys.

[@elfaudio]

Sorry, the feature hasn’t come put on android yet, it’s coming really soon. The keyboard doesn’t really do anything that the grid doesn’t do, but if it really is a dealbreaker, please feel free to get a refund (see here: support.google.com/googleplay/workflow/9813244) or get in touch through the elf-audio.com with your receipt and I can process it for you

[@rubberduky1829]

@@elfaudio ..... No worries, works perfect otherwise. Would be nice to be able to have the keyboard to play melodies a little easier. I'm holding out for the iPad mini 6 around Christmas time.. thank you again.

[@DopamineOverload]

Unreal. Awesome. Btw, i had a strange issue. Mapped a midi controller encoder to Pitch. Was working for a bit and then the pitch would move but audio didnt change. When i moved pitch knob by touching ipad screen, the sound finally changed to reflect pitch. Possible bug? Thx!! Best. App. Ever.

[@issiewizzie]

can I save the looped sample

[@darumabeats]

Wow that's great!

[@gutsberserker5476]

Hey Mate I am loving the app. Got Samurai too. Questions for you sir. When is this update coming to Android?

[@elfaudio]

Soon. Sorry for the delay. It’s not a massive feature really

[@gutsberserker5476]

@@elfaudio its an amazing app, I recommend it to my students too. Its awesome to have you on the comment section. I have a question, maybe somonelse or yourself can answer. So I am a noob to sampling, Question- would it be possible to sample a few major keys, eg. A,C, E in order to obtain the whole major scale? I have tried but it sounds like I am not getting an accurate representation.

[@ghanezu]

Not available on android?.

[@nahuuu2630]

It's available for Android?

[@gd7681]

please add a time-stretch option in piano roll (so pitch-shifts dont change sample duration)

[@elfaudio]

Try retro or beats mode, they both work in timestretch

[@elfaudio]

I mean in pianoroll

[@elfaudio]

Again, same answer - if you use timestretch in retro or beats mode, it will work on the piano roll. If you use timestretch in modern mode, you can’t use piano roll, you can only use piano roll with beats or retro timestretch mode

[@igobytony]

Nice!

[@ErnstGewahrer]

Does it depend what size the device has got? I am using the app on my Pixel 3a and dont seem to get the keyboard.

[@friendly_conifer]

probably iOS first Android later, my Pixel 3a got no update either. But it's easy to circumvent by using midi controller keyboard hooked to the phone via USB OTG, works out of the box. Same with MPD, just connect the pads and your DIY MPC ready for action :) got to love Koala

[@chilledm.136]

[@elfaudio]

I understand, but it’s a huge amount of work checking Facebook, KZbin, instagram, Reddit etc etc for support requests, and I am only one person. The more time I spend on support requests the less time I spend on developing koala (I spend at least one hour every day responding to support requests) If I miss someone’s support request here, they might give me a bad review on the App Store or whatever which is bad for business and in turn bad for koalas development, so I try to redirect everyone to the same place to make it easier for me. When I get the same question more than once, I put the answer on the support pages at www.koalasampler.com/help - so the answers often end up being public

[@allieboy181]

Also I don’t understand, how the scales work? There’s no key or notes set. Like if I set it to minor scale, how do I set the key?

[@elfaudio]

Change the PITCH knob

[@allieboy181]

@@elfaudio thanks for the reply. But what I mean is that if I change it to major scale there’s no option to set the key. So what’s the point? In grange babe you can do the sane thing but you can actually set the key and it gives you the proper notes.

[@allieboy181]

@@elfaudio it just seems like it doesn’t make sense or I don’t understand. How can you play the minor or major scale with out it set to a particular key?

[@mazbox]

@@allieboy181 if your sample is a C, then the keyboard will play C major if set to major and the PITCH is set to 0. If you want D major, tune the sample to D with the PITCH knob, then the keyboard will be in D major.

[@allieboy181]

@@mazbox then you would be playing The D note on the C key. That would mess it all up

Does playing a C on the keyboard automatically make the sample a C?

[@allieboy181]

I’ve been looking for info on the keyboard too. Because setting it to the major scale or minor means nothing, if you can’t set the key lol. Unless they just haven’t added in all the Keys yet
