Koala Sampler

Just stumbled on this app a couple weeks ago. Gotta say, it's the best sampler for android you'll ever find! I paid for the full version and paid for all the added features and if they release more features.....I'll be paying for those too! It's so intuitive I didn't even need a manual. It's so close to replacing my my entire DAW. Endless possibilities. Easy workflow. I can't get over how incredible it is. I've been creating source sounds on my PC and importing them to the app. 10X stars!!!!

Love it! I've been using production software for 20 years and thought this would be a fun sketch pad for ideas to flesh out later. I'm actually exporting finished loops directly from Koala. Really intuitive and fun. The best sequencer/sampler for mobile devices, hands down. EDIT: After further exploration, I did encounter the bug where some samples from my library do not play. The fix is to restart the app, but it would be nice if this could be patched. Also, one thing that I think the app could use is the ability to retrigger a sample in the MIDI piano roll so that you can make a melody without longer samples overlapping. The ability to switch between making chords and single note lines would make this even more amazing. Still leaving my five stars because the Koala Sampler simple deserves it.

when I was younger, I always dreamed of a pocket sized tool like this. I've never had more fun chopping and arranging, even in major DAWS. I've made hip hop, jungle, noise, even punk songs with Koala. It started awesome and only gets better. the one thing I'd really like to highlight is how clean the app is. everything has a nice neat spot without a bunch of menu diving.

Great sampler. Could have saved myself a lot of money on hardware if I had realized how intuitive and easy beatmaking could be on my phone. Once you figure out your little work flow this is a brilliant piece of kit for getting ideas down if they're centered around samples. You can screen record anything you see or hear on the internet, extract the audio, and import it into Koala sampler. In less than 1 minute you can start slicing & dicing. Pay the extra for the full version! Worth every penny!

I have around 30 premium music studios across Android and iOS. Several are $50+. Koala is so intuitive that I keep going straight for it. It's phenomenal for getting ideas out of your head and archived in some form. It is lacking a few quality of life features. there are workarounds, so it doesn't lack functionality for your goal. If you want a user-friendly instrument + sequencer but don't like the idea of using prebuilt instruments, this is the app you need to get.
