Koala is the ultimate pocket-sized sampler. Record anything with your phone's mic or load your own sounds. Use Koala to create beats with those samples, add effects and create a track!
Koala’s super intuitive interface helps you make a tracks in a flash, there is no brake pedal. You can also resample the output of the app back into the input, through the effects, so the sonic possibilities are endless.
Koala's design focuses totally on making the music making progress instant, keeping you in the flow and keeping it fun, not getting bogged down by pages of parameters and micro-editing.
"Been putting that $4 koala sampler to good use lately. Undeniably great tool that puts some of these expensive beat boxes to shame. A must cop." -- flying lotus, twitter

App is great but I really miss a handsfree recording mode. Edit 01: Great, I thought it was odd for it to be missing,turns out it wasn't missing at all! Edit 02/03: I no longer had access to the samurai upgrade after changing my phone! Got an immediate fix from the dev after contacting them! C:

Hi Ja, thanks! - you can record handsfree if you go into the settings and disable "hold to record" - then the pads should work as toggles. If you still need help with that, please get in touch here: https://www.elf-audio.com/contact.php

I bought the base app, without knowing that the sequencer is not usable without the addon. I then tried to buy the addon, but no matter which device I try(phone, or tablet), there is a payment error. With several different cards. It has really marred my experience so far, not gonna lie. I think I might just refund this and save myself the trouble.

I'm sorry you're having this trouble The sequencer is available with the base version. Maybe you mean the piano roll editor? there's no mention of it in description or images on the play store, and you don't need it to use the sequencer. As for payment errors, koala has no control over google's payment system or your bank. Pls get a refund!

I can't say enough good things about making music with Koala Sampler. The interface is exactly what my phone needs to let me record and play fearlessly and without distractions. From holding down the sample bank button to editing to sequencing. Koala Sampler is my sonic sketchpad to end all sketchpads. And its availability for Android is enough to make me weep with joy. To the BEAUTIFUL developers: THANK YOU ❤️
