    I've been making music since I was in high school (I'm 44 now). Been through so many hardware samplers, MPC500, MPC1000, MPC2000, Boss SP303, BOSS SP505, Roland 404SX, KORG Electribe ES 1 and more recently I've been using Maschine. I bought Koala a couple of days ago and it makes all that hardware seem silly. The fact that I can make beats on my phone now is incredible. I will probably export finished beats to my PC in order to mix them or arrange into albums but apart from that I'll be using Koala.

    Companies should take note on how to create intuitive UI from this app. Everything works exactly how my mind naturally wishes it would in the most streamlined and efficient way possible.

    • @taosophymusic

      big companies either overthink or underthink design and UI. Similar to an I.T. shop at an agency, they develop their mission based on making it easier for them to manage and implement security and don't go the extra mile or give a hot damn about how their affecting agency productivity or in the case of poorly designed apps, how much people may love the functionality of their app but loathe the hoops they have to go through to do what they need to do.
      Apple is a case of design over functionality. They've recently relented and added the ports back to their laptops that users wanted(still waiting for a headphone jack to be added back to iOS devices)but, they pay a little too much attention to aesthetics.

    This is insane. I’ve always wanted to sample or learn how to. Found out about Koala in December and did nothing that entire month but learn the app inside and out and I began making beats and samples. THIS update is a game changer, I was to the point where I really wanted to get a MacBook and a different more in depth software, but this fixes that for me almost entirely. The people at Elf Audio are geniuses 🙌🙏🔥

And it even works with Gband, so u can start some shit here and record it into Gband to add more layers or what have you... This is really going to be like having an sp 404 to use with my DAW, the only thing now is how to get samples of records in there, other than just holding the phone up to the amp/speakers... There's a lot of audio interference, background noise, sometimes the phone desntt pick up what youre trying to record, and so on.

    Koala is amazing and is saving me so much money on hardware! Frankly it’s better than most hardware.
    A few feature requests that I’d be willing to pay for:
    1. Allow the user to change clip launch behavior. I’d love the new clip to start after the one before it runs it’s course rather than immediately.
    2. Allow user to mute individual instruments in a sequence as it’s running
    3. Pattern chaining
    4. Allow AUV effects or more effects in the app like full ADSR, delay etc
    I love the app as is but I’d totally pay for those features!
