Sitala or Koala sampler? | Sitalas true power! | haQ attaQ

Sitala or Koala sampler? Both apps have some similar features, however they were both designed for different styles of workflow. So choosing between them is probably easier than you think.
Sitala and Koala sampler are iOS universal app and are available for both iPad and iPhone. You can find links to both apps further down. Btw, sitala is cross platform compatible with the desktop version, which is FREE, and that link can also be found further down.

[@soysos.tuffsound]

Thank You as always. You've reinforced that I want to keep going deeper into Koala Sampler. It's so good for all it's quirks and as an old timey sampler user it's not lost on me that these apps are a damned miracle for what you can do with them!

[@MisterCross]

This is what Ive been looking for. The Folder system, holy poopsicles! To just be able to swipe to the next sample…next level. I’ll be playing with this today. Great video and great info as always Jakob. You are always appreciated.

[@JakobHaq]

Aw, thank you! 💋

[@siegersjw]

Thanks Jakob! Very useful information as ever and enthusiastic presented :)

[@nathanbryers]

Sold! Thanks for showing this. Totally solves the main headache of browsing samples on iOS 🥳

[@BluesSky]

Thanks for the info, just what I needed to know!

[@HotStrange]

There are lots of things I like about Sitila but as a whole I’m not sure it’s the app for me or not. I bought it anyway, and I will continue messing around with it to form an opinion. There’s definitely something to be said about the simplicity and ease of use though. Mapping it to an Akai drum pad, with each out routed through different effects in AUM sounds fantastic. Also for drum apps with limited connectivity (Drumlab for example) it’s great to be able to record a loop and have Sitila auto chop it for me and map it to the pads. Thanks for the quick overview, Jakob!

[@jonbirchartist]

Thank you, our dear Jakob. Informative and well presented as ever. 🙂

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure!

Glad to see a new sample pad enter the ring. We definitely need a better file structure compatibility for iOS. I use “one drive” for my stuff and it would be nice to have more comparable apps for clouds.

[@truthmanifestingtruth]

Koala is beautiful but it took me less than 5 secs of reading the description in the App Store to conclude that I was going to buy Sitala too. Of course, I only looked it up because of you brought it up, Jakob.✌🏾

Thanks to bring my attention in Sitala. I haven't take the time to look at it in details and I think I gonna like that thing! Just the swiping samples worth it!

[@JakobHaq]

💋 Most of the cred goes to my partner in crime. She’s the one that planted them. But we’ve contributed to the soil ourselves. We’ve got bokashi compost going over here with several soil farms with worms in them. So we have no food waste at all. It all becomes highly fertile stuff and plants grow like mad in it.

[@Teo22athome]

Thanks for this - very well presented - clear and concise- made the purchase - I hope your list to the dev has included ability to full screen just the pad section when editing is no longer needed

[@cokomairena]

As an efficient sampler player I still prefer GR-16, however you do have to duplicate your samples, but the selection of samples I would say is even better than swipping

[@discopas2826]

Thanx, Jakob, for this video. I just checked it out: you CAN edit slices! (maybe new version? - just purchased) If you tap in automatic slice, left and right blue arrows will be shown and you can edit them. The really good thing on this is, that the arrows will rest on next automatic slice point. So, you can play several slices on one pad after another like one longer slice. Nice!

[@JakobHaq]

No, it’s a complete miss on my part. I’m stupid! You’re right, they are editable! 😂🤦‍♂️🙅‍♂️

I used sitala for awhile in reaper. Mainly to creat good drums with the cool little compression tool. 😎

[@Thedrumsthebass]

I use sitala religiously on my PC, pretty awesome to see it IOS now. Imo, this a good environment for it as desktop users are flooded with drum sampler options.

[@axelcodr]

it looks pretty handy though as a koala user I'm not sure why one would want to switch just for saving some time.

[@McslyGuy2000]

Koala is a modern classic. It has almost every function I look for in a sampler. The one function it’s missing would be a “mute” group (rather than mute sample) function. I’m the laziest beat maker in the world because I’ve never had the patience to sequence, chain sequences or use lol..”song mode” 🥱Mute groups 4 life. I think when it comes to iOS samplers the ease of use and how quickly I can navigate, chop and switch menus are what I’m looking for. I like Koala’s auto chop page because I use the old Akai’s (s900 and s1000) and also use Koala as a “Recycle” type program-chop in Koala then sample into the Akai’s. I guess another dope function Koala could add would be to use the pads to chop like on JJOS and assign chops to pads.

[@tlukhovskyyuriy9166]

Game with potatoes plant so cute)) Thanks

[@GaryR55]

When so said "...points of connection," you actually got the grammar correct, Jakob.

[@GaryR55]

....and, apparently, I screwed up when I said "so said," instead of "you said." Not sure what that was about...

[@hArtyTruffle]

Huge thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Especially for growing your own 🥔 on the balcony. Looks like you got some baby greens growing there too? ❤️

[@JakobHaq]

We’re also growing lettuce, thyme, basil, oregano, wild strawberries and lots of different flowers that bees seem to enjoy a lot. We’ve actually got about eight new bee-tenants in our “bee hotel” (log with holes in it). They’ve got it set. We’ve even set out a plate of water for them to drink from. It’s really looking to nice and green around here.

[@brmbkl]

Nomenclature is important. i think a lot of confusion for 1st timers stems from these "overlapping" categories (they don't) in "samplers". It just gets boring (or detrimental to sales) for manufacturers to make the distinction between samplers, sampling grooveboxes (with sequencing), synth grooveboxes, sequencers and sample players (no custom samples). It gets to the point where companies need to say their samplers samples. Then there's also the depth of the ability to twist samples, but it already went south when abonding those distinctions.

[@krazywabbit]

Hello there my dear KZbinr. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@JakobHaq]

😂🤣

[@bitegoatie]

Points of contention is your grammar point. Each point refers to the argument you’re making, which as a whole is your contention, or set of contentions. So “points” is plural and the general term, contention, is singular. You capture very clearly the differences from Koala, which are really significant. In the end, Sitala does not compete with Koala. The apps serve different purposes. Thanks for the rundown.

[@tonymann848]

Hi I have a Yamaha DTXPL electronic drum kit. I have many great samples including Cult Drum Sounds. I would like to load them into a sampler that I can trigger via midi with my kit. What standalone sampler should I get? I almost got an Akai MPX8, but have seen tons of bad reviews. Thanks

[@aquietgarden]

This is a real surprise to discover Sitala. Would I be able to use it for other kinds of samples, besides drums? Pads, synths, for example?

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

How bout using both? Sampling w Koala then loading it into Sitala?

[@init-crioxica]

Thank you for video but, Koala Sampler + Koala FX = Awesome. =)

Hi Jakob, I have been looking for a blackbox-style sample player for iOS/AUM for a long time, i.e. I would like to be able to trigger long or short samples (one shot, gate, loop) and control pan and volume for each individual sample pad. just that. any idea? thanks for your very informative and useful channel on AUM related topics.

[@JakobHaq]

I’ve never used blackbox so I don’t know how it works in that one. Koala can do the things that you’ve mentioned. Sitala only does one shot atm. No settings for loop or gate mode.

[@Maxxabstract]

The samplers in drambo can do gate loop trigger pitch ping pong and threshold

[@marcschaffroth3448]

Thanks Jakobs. I´ve checked Koala instantly - it works best. The AUM-Integration and Multi-Outputs are awesome.

[@theorize999]

After watching the video, I would say Koala is to the PO-33 what Sitala is to the PO-32. Add voice changer Pro X and you have a PO-35.

[@40791]

Can Sitala browse/audition/preview sample on an external HD?

[@DecomposerMusicSoftware]

Yes

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Koala is better but I use both. I think Sitala is better as a drum machine.

[@MrCosmicVictory]

that knob mapping is key. i hope all the apps do it in the global mode. thats my issue with BM3

Это то чего так не хватает коале. Коала вперёд, я не хочу использовать что то ещё, но, блин оно того стоит по всей видимости судя по описанию!!!!

[@dorianml704]

I love the Sequencer of Koala, but it needs a mute mode. Samplr is amazing, almost nothing to say. Sitala looks very serious 🧐😄 All of them would be amazing with automation recording ⭐️ What is the synth you use at the end Jakob? Il looks like ambient stuff… 😋

[@rydakule]

Koala has a mute mode now

[@JakobHaq]

If you’re reffering to the synth at 8:43 then that’s the “Helsinki” gadget inside KORG Gadget and it is very ambient focuses yes! 👊

[@ricardomilice2470]

Well Koala is missing that swipe feature, which is excellent idea, I’ve recently talk to another KZbinr about swapping one sample to the next on koala, But the sliding feature is perfect and save a lot of time. Jakob by any chance can you talk to koala developer about getting this😈😂 feature. Please 👼👐🏾

[@PantaFlux]

I simply use Flip. For no special reason other than that I use it.

[@camofpv]

I’ve spent so much money because of your videos that at least you could buy me a beer 🤣

[@MultiMam12345]

Sitali is great but the shape button is so messed up. It will make you deaf if you try to get a short attack. It will spike the audio extremely loud. That is not what a envelope should do. Try it with a long one shot like a chord or pad. Told them many times. This is a major flaw that they need to fix. Other issue, a midi mapped pad doesn’t select it. Sitali is slow in respons. If you change a knob within a second after selecting a pad you will change the previous pad. And the icloud integration does not work mostly. It will show empty folders when samples are there. , swiping for selecting is the worst gesture when you can do it with a single tap left/right. Also the same gesture action is used for start and end point. He needs to fix these major flaws and it would be a great app. Too bad it does not listen to mostly valid arguments. Swiping is for browsimg and searching if you not know where to go. If you know what you want now. The next sample. Swiping is simply not a gesture made for this. It’s slow, and uses resources they should use to fix the sluggish knobs that start to react 2 second after a pad selection.

[@DecomposerMusicSoftware]

Fixed in the latest release.

[@LesProductionsZvon]

Sitala slices beats but can it slice potatoes! That said, Sitala has a simple but very useful feature, it shows the name of the samples loaded! Sadly some iOS samplers I love and use regularly do not do this, and I wonder why?!?
