New update for koala with some nice loop features - ping-pong, loop point, xfading. (out now for iOS, still waiting on Google to approve the Android version)
Koala is now available as an AUv3 plugin (for $3 extra). (Multi output too). Don’t know why anyone would want more than one instance or koala at the same time but I won’t judge you.
🎂 Koala is 3 years old today! Can’t believe how far it’s come, and thank you all for the massive support, putting koala on the map!!! 2022 gonna be a big one for features! 🙏🙏🙏
I went to the supermarket and bought the cheapest Android phone they had: Alcatel 1 ~ $33 - Koala needed some tweaks, but now it works - a fully-fledged, time-stretching, midi controllable sampler for $40 (even samurai works!)
Koala 1.4045 is out!
* External MIDI sync in
* Ableton Drum rack export
* iOS: NEW previewing file picker supporting all cloud platforms
* Android: now has the same piano-style keyboard
* Lots and lots of small fixes and tweaks
🖖🐨💥
PLEASE do not buy koala from
@huawei
’s App Gallery - they are selling a pirated copy of an old version - please download Google Play and get it from there. If you already bought it, PLEASE request a refund and complain.
There are rumours that the koala update is "Quantum Harmonic Resonance Mapping" - I can confirm that I have no idea what that is but I'll take it as a feature request.
2021 has been an amazing year for koala, thanks everyone for your support! First we had the koala vs sp404 battle featuring an ALL-STAR line up... (1/5)

Hi Everyone!
Here's a survey I made to help me work out what you need from koala and how I can make it better - with 2 prizes of $50 each (and a lifetime supply of elf audio software)
Wonderful work by Ana Aceves: "I used the koala sequence to paint and create music with it at the same time. Every layer has a sample triggered by the pixel illustration. Xxx" - check out her beautiful illustrations here:

@tvkii
Hey
@truensee
To be fair it’s sort of a win-win, my sales are up nearly double in the last 24 hours.
I guess they’re listening to you talk about how bad koala is, listening to your music, then buying koala anyway? Now that’s talent!
@flyinglotus
Can’t thank you enough for the exposure! The thing that really makes koala is the incredibly supportive community behind it. You know who you are!!
