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 track 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 process 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."

You pay for the app, then you have to pay for extra features to make it work. I asked restitution and didn’t get it. Bad experience.
Developer Response
The app description is very clear about what you do and don’t get - there is no mention of additional features nor any screenshots of them. Most people don’t need these features so I let people pay for only the features they want. I’m trying to make it affordable for people. The base version of koala is EXTREMELY good value. You get 16 effects, AI stem splitting, midi functionality, loads and loads and loads of features. I very strongly recommend you get in touch with me directly for a refund or to complain further. https://www.koalasampler.com/contact
Superapp for everyone

First off all this app is mad ! So many functionnabilities… I ve play with music app for many many years and have a lot a them but there is nothing like it on the market. And it keeps getting better… If I need to just keep one in my device, it will be Koala. Secondly, this app is so affordable, this is incredible that one of the more powerfull app is so cheap. If you don t have it, take it now I promess you won t regret !!!
Best sampler app ever

- Automation for bus effects, mixer channels and plug-in synths and effects
- New "Same pad mapping for all banks" option in MIDI settings - map the 16 pads once and the selected bank decides which pads your notes play. The bank selector can be MIDI mapped too. Switch it off and each of the 64 pads keeps its own mapping, as before
- MIDI map mode can now be toggled from the QWERTY keyboard (default key `;`) or from a mapped MIDI control
- iPhone Duo support
- Looper recording (swipe down on a pad) now starts and stops cleanly on the bar line, including when you stop just after the bar
- Pad to MIDI note mapping is now a fixed 4x4 layout whatever the window shape, so a sequence recorded with the AUv3 open in portrait plays back on the right pads once the window is closed
- Fixed grid keyboard getting stuck after a scale change near the end of the range
- Appending sequences now copies their parameter automation too
