Koala Sampler Tutorial - Creating Your Own Drum Racks (Quickly)

In today's Koala Sampler Tutorial, I share two different ways to create amazing sounding drum racks in Koala Sampler.
1 - Importing Samples
2 - Recording Nano Studio 2 or Korg Gadget 2's drums into Koala
There is not yet a "default template" feature, but there is a workaround for it :)
If you guys would like to download the drum racks created in this video, let me know in the comments below!
Hope you guys enjoy the video.

Thanks for watching! Here's a playlist of all of my other Koala Sampler videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLncBlrh_dbIPCIilMBWVstMtIhgmEmRKv

[@GravityPancake]

Great tip! Gonna be making a lineup of Koala presets now

[@Khordmaster]

Thanks! And dopeeee it’s so cool to spend some time up front to create these templates that you can use as starting points. I’m gonna create a few different ones!

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

You just have to make the template and immediately save as everytime you start a new project. Definitely would be nice to have a default template like AUM has.

[@snoooozer]

Yeah this is what I do

[@Khordmaster]

Word that makes sense. A suitable workaround indeed! BJ to the rescue 🛟

[@ColinTedford]

To guard against template loss, save each template twice: first with the actual name, then again with "BACKUP" added ("Drum Template BACKUP"). Then if you accidentally overwrite the template, you can load the backup and Save As to recover it. (This tip brought to you by not being able to set files as read-only in Dropbox at work.)

Haha thanks bro! I see we are in similar lanes! Will check out some of your videos later 😎

@@Khordmaster we certainly are, I’ve been a fan of yours for a hot minute!

[@tonyfastideas2657]

Thanks really helpful. Much appreciated. Loading from the iPad storage so much better than using AudioShare. Love the drag and drop actually. Game changer when you can be running a sequence, auditioning the sounds over it from the file finder and then just drag them in. So intuitive. Also not apparent to people from the video because it didn’t show your finger but using the iPad file finder instead when you set the sample page to ‘Import File’ and tap an empty sample pad it automatically opens up the finder on the left hand side as a split screen for you to search from. Great stuff.

[@Khordmaster]

Spot on brother!!! Thanks for the comment!!

[@neatogreedo]

@@Khordmaster how are you able to preview samples in iPad storage/files without it opening the file full screen? Is this a leftover/side bonus from having AudioShare?

[@Khordmaster]

@@neatogreedo yeah you gotta goto settings and disable AudioShare. And make sure you’re on the latest version as this split screen feature came in an update a few months ago

[@neatogreedo]

@@Khordmaster I was curious because the red lettering on the file explorer headers almost looked like Apple Music & I was like “whut is this witchcraft I wasn’t privy to?”

[@robertroach7807]

sorry good info good vid.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Also remember you can have a basic acoustic drum kit dry and build the sounds through AUM mixer with stacking EFX to color and give character to the drums. Like vinyl, cassette, bit crusher, reverbs, delays, etc etc.

[@Khordmaster]

Super helpful! More means to making the drums your own!

[@matthewchunk3689]

I like sampling from Neon. What I do is load a drum demo video into neon, run that through some enhancer AU (FAC and Klevgrand are personal favorites) and put Neon in split screen with Koala. Then, it's just a simple drag and drop from clipboard onto the Koala pad.

[@Khordmaster]

This sounds like a great workflow! I’ll have to check out Neon… haven’t heard of it before!

[@JimSmith15]

Hey nice video is there a way to get this drum save?😊

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Yeah Drag N Drop is real!😊

[@Khordmaster]

Haha facts!

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

So for me the process is a part of the fun. It’s a discovery versus just give me this pre-made kit. On Koala you can mix and match drums.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Bjammin what’s good bro 😎

[@Khordmaster]

Word! I may start thinking more through the lens of use what’s the and discover ways to make it work for me versus wishing it had other features

@@Khordmaster because when musicians sit at the piano, guitar, bass, or drums…they make it work. Like Smokey moms in Friday….”make it enough” 😆

[@markmallory2528]

Don’t know if someone mentioned this before but an easier way would be to load the app you want, start screen recording on the device you’re using and play the sounds you want from any app or kit you want. I hate remembering how to use AUM for a process like this every time. Then import the video you just recorded into the Koala Sampler app. Let Koala cut the video sample, which will now have been converted to audio upon importing, and distribute the samples to the pads. Try not to trigger more samples than the Koala Sampler has slots available. Name, save and you’ll have what you need as a kit available. Quick, fast and easy. It works for sounds, apps and any other sample sources too. Hope this helps.

[@Khordmaster]

This sounds like a perfect solution… i wish iPad had record audio instead of screen but not a big deal, just remember to delete your videos after. Imma try this out thanks dude. I agree about AUM and how it can be confusing and halt creativity

[@ricardomilice2470]

Wussp bro👊🏾👊🏾, thanks for your video tips……thanks to you I tried something to what you where saying……try this method. Let’s just say you just set up your drum kits like this video and then you made a recording sequencer like this video and then you love the drum pattern, but you didn’t like the kick or the snare……. You can swap them out …….just by going through your drum library. Drag and drop a new kick or snare on top of the old one to your liking, while the sequencer is playing. Easy way to audition them.

[@Khordmaster]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 appreciate you checking out the video! And great idea!

[@snoooozer]

What is that 9th Wonder sample pack you're using?

[@Khordmaster]

I forgot the name but I believe I downloaded it from Reddit

[@robertroach7807]

hey...how are you able to access your samples like that? I've just got koala and I am looking to access my samples the way you're doing it. PS...mad jealous bro. : )

[@Khordmaster]

Disable audioshare in settings :)

[@Takusanmizu77]

I wish you could be on whatever bank you want and when u import or record it goes to that bank instead of populating to the earliest avail pad and bank.

[@Egyptsdad]

How can I download the kicks and other sounds you use for this video?

[@Khordmaster]

Screen record! But I do have packs and stuff coming soon for koala so make sure you’re subscribed with notifications on!

yo hmu if you don't mind sending me the drum racks you made :)

Koala needs kit or bank files. Separate from projects.

[@Khordmaster]

That would be dope!!!!

[@MultiMam12345]

@@Khordmaster iif it can export drumracks to Ableton, i would hope this shouldn’t be a big challenge to implement. Just ask the dev:)
