KOALA SAMPLER - Split Screen Workflow Tutorial

Here’s how to completely open up your iPad music and file apps to the Koala Sampler workflow

[@ndrinks5550]

My God I can't believe it never even occurred to me to try split-screen rather than jumping back and forth all over the place. Thank you for alerting me to my complete madness, this may be 2 years old but could make editing and sequencing samples when not at the computer hugely more productive.

[@SkeeterMelody]

I like your analogy of it being a pallet I never thought of it in that sense before but you’re right! I like it🎶💯

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

That mast comment really made this for me as I play many acoustic instruments. And I love to have background music that I make to improvise over. So this is very vary cool. I bought audiobus 3 years ago but never used it because I just starting using AUM etc. But I like this idea very much as I still get a little daunted with AUM. Thank you so much ! I liked and subscribed !

Drag and drop from audio share into apps would be incredible.

[@jigs1758]

Open the Files app and navigate to the AudioShare folder. You can drag and drop your audio files from there. It’s not the best for previewing a ton of short one shots samples BUT it GETS THE JOB DONE!!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I hav e the iPad, Koala, audiobus and this workflow is really powerful. But there’s something with the experience of using the Novation Circuit that is way better and faster to me. One, it does not bug on me. The iPad with multiple instances of Audiobus apps ou AUM, can be quite buggy.The tactile interface, knobs, pads and the interface design makes it on of the quickest song generation on the go. I have never stumbled on anything that fast on the iPad. I think they both can work together with a small portable setup for live gigs or bedroom studios.

[@lugo4905]

Yes. I love using hardware with Koala. I use my MPC 2000 all of the time with it

[@brownbubbletheory]

@@lugo4905 what app do I need do connect koala with the mpc 2000? I’m assuming you need the lightning adapter to plug the usb into from the mpc, but what app allows to midi to work on it? Do I need audiobus or AUM to sync the midi? Ideally I’d like the mpc to play some samples as the same time koalas running other samples and while the mpc controls koala

[@ALLstarprojecto]

Its great!!!

[@collectionofclassics]

Get tutorial, this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm trying to use the Audiobus + Sunrizer + Koala splitscreen setup like what you have but it won't let me launch sunrizer in splitscreen like this. It just shows the app icon with a "Z Z Z" animation going out of it as if it were sleeping and when I click on it, it goes fullscreen. Any ideas what might be going on and how I can get it running like what you have? I'm using a 3rd gen 12.9 inch iPad Pro so I can't image it being a hardware limitation.

[@thegroove2000]

Very good useful tips thanks.

In fact this is fucking crazy. Opens up more possibilities.

[@iamYork_]

I'm brand new to ios music production and only picked up audioshare to easily add tracks into SAMPLR... just picked up Koala and love it but the chopping and cutting in other apps was adding extra steps I wasn't happy with... wow this is a game changer!!! I had no idea audioshare even had features like that... Makes wonder what else Audioshare can do that I have been missing out on... I wonder if this will work with SAMPLR too... Great tip my friend!!!

[@lugo4905]

Try adding Samplr as an effect in Audioshare . If you can, then it’ll work with this method.

[@iamYork_]

@@lugo4905 I can get to work with Audiobus and AUM but SAMPL doesn’t seem to allow a split screen so I can’t seem to get it to work currently but i havnt given up yet… haha

This is genius! 🎉

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

I've encountered a problem with split-screen and my iPad 7; i.e, it doesn't work. But, having checked on the Apple help forums, I found the problem is probably with some apps, not the iPad. Good to know Koala and Audioshare do work together in split-screen, though.

[@lugo4905]

It should work with Audiobus too.

[@jacquibrookes8257]

Thanks!

[@hajagosb]

The audiobus seems like a great workflow, very well explained too. Did you experience Koala not changing to inter app audio If I click inside Audiobus, the. Koala works but only inside the Audiobus app, so no split screen. Any idea what can solve this?

[@theunboundsound]

Game changer!

[@Khordmaster]

Thanks Bro! So I am trying to get my midi keyboard to work with the Auv3 apps that you displayed at the end of the video. No dice. It does work with those apps standalone though. Any ideas????

[@lugo4905]

If you’re using Audiobus, make sure your midi is routed in the midi section to your synths. AUM is a little more straightforward with this.

[@jonathantubman2297]

Great tutorial, thank you! I purchased Audioshare, but when I do this the audio I record into Koala sounds fine, but if he try any pitch or effects it distorts lots. Any ideas what would cause this? I have tried every setting and cannot solve this.

[@lugo4905]

Bummer. I cannot get my iPad to do this with the same method you described.

[@ricardomilice2470]

Thanks 🙏🏽🎉🎉🎉🍾

[@LoveRise]

Insightful tutorial, how about creating a sequencing video for kaola for people just getting started. Do you prefer audiobus, AUM, or Apematrix best if you could only buy one?

[@lugo4905]

These days, I’m using AUM the most. Audio us is the easiest to use, but AUM has greater routing capabilities.

[@LoveRise]

Thank you really appreciate your work!

[@forsale313]

This will work for me. Thank you so much. All this will work on my older iPad so I'm very happy. Another Christmas gift from KZbin giving more tips on using stuff I already have. This video earned you a New Sub.

Great youtube sampling workflow! But Tube AU is like 10 euros and requires iOS 12.2 minimum.latest iOS downloadable from Apple today is iOS 14. I m still on iOS 11. Is it worth upgrading to iOS 14 , do all your audio apps work well under iOS 14 ?

[@lugo4905]

This was done on an iPad Air2 running 13.7. I would say to at least upgrade to 13 for now and wait awhile for the developers to update their apps to 14.

[@lugo4905]

Also, beatmakeristhesquad reported back that they were using 14 without an issue....so, maybe you Should upgrade to 14.

[@jazzroom]

@@lugo4905 thanks tot reply, uporeciate it! I I would wait till all updates and bugs will be ironed out than ..before pulling a plug on iOS 14. For now I sample i to Koala using other export options: example : online youtube converting to mp3 downloading inside Documents app and than importing into Koala.etc. Peace & Jazz

[@yujmusic]

hi, thanks for this! But having problems though as I can't sequence in Koala when it is still tagged as Effect in Audiobus. So is there a better way than removing Koala as effect and putting it as input before I can sequence? Because I'm thinking of doing this on-the-fly workflow but changing inputs is not efficient. Thanks!

[@lugo4905]

You can do this in AudioShare. Audiobus and Koala are not working together at the moment.

[@sugarkingg]

@@lugo4905 Hey, I can't find you on the socials. I can't get sounds playing from Poison into Koala as you've shown. Is this resolved or am I doing it wrong?

@@sugarkingg you can always use Audioshare and have Poison in the top slot of the recording tab and then have Koala as an FX slot. Then can just play directly into koala. BTW, I’m @jlugomiller or @ j_lugo_miller on most socials

How does one do the split screen thing with an iPhone?

[@perplaex]

Do I need to purchase my Koala for AUV? And also how can I identify which app is able to be put in as audio units? I have some synths and chords which do not appear

[@lugo4905]

No you don’t need to purchase AUv3 for Koala. In Audiobus, only AUv3 synths will work with this method. So just stick to the Audio Units menu. In AUM, you can route whatever you want into koala

[@xALK1984x]

Wow

[@dankpizzle77]

Great tutorial, But I need some help .. in my AUDIOSHARE it says the files are wav.iCloud. And will not allow me to access the sound .. can you advise something??

[@lugo4905]

I’ve never ran into this before - I can’t even replicate the problem. My guess would be to go to those sounds in your files app and download them to your iPad into AudioShare.

[@TheGreatPanicker]

Can this split screen thing be done with any apps?

[@lugo4905]

Any auv3 inside of audiobus3 will split screen

[@ray-mond9215]

Are those vst synths also on koala?

[@lugo4905]

Those are separate synths sampled directly into koala. No synth sound in koala - it’s just a sampler

[@Jack-bb2lj]

Where do you get the Mpc 2000 bank of sounds

[@lugo4905]

Those are sounds that I’ve recorded from my MPC2k from the last 15 or so years
