Koala Sampler • Beat Maker

Your Pocket Beat Machine

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Koala Sampler is a pocket-sized recorder and beat maker for mobile. Record with your phone’s mic, shape sounds with 16 built-in FX, load your own samples, and export loops or tracks as WAV files. It includes 64 sample slots and 250 built-in sounds, with direct export to Ableton Live, MIDI control, AUv3 compatibility for use in GarageBand, Logic, Cubasis, and more, plus Ableton Link for jamming and AI-assisted sample separation to isolate instruments.

Designed to keep the music-making flow uninterrupted, Koala emphasizes speed over parameter grinding. Features include a high-resolution sequencer, keyboard mode to play chromatically or in scales, quantize and swing, Normal/One-shot/Loop/Reverse playback, 6 choke groups, and per-sample attack/release/tone controls. The SAMURAI in-app purchase adds timestretch, piano roll, auto-chop, and a 3-band EQ. Customize backgrounds and visuals, share ideas over WiFi, and export professional-grade material for your projects.

User Reviews

Koala Sampler is widely loved as a simple, powerful mobile sampler/beat maker with a quick workflow and strong value. Users praise its portability, depth, and active developer support. Common drawbacks are stability issues, missing autotune, and requests for plugin hosting (AUv3/VST) and automation features, along with a modest learning curve for some newcomers.
Pros
  • Simple, fast, and intuitive workflow that lowers the learning curve.
  • Extremely capable and versatile sampler/beat maker with extensive sampling and sound design features.
  • Ideal for mobile use and on-the-go creativity, with easy access to your own samples.
  • Great value for money thanks to a one-time purchase and affordable add-ons.
  • Active, responsive development and supportive community with regular updates.
Cons
  • Stability issues and occasional crashes that can lead to lost work.
  • Lack of autotune/vocal processing built-in.
  • Desire for AUv3/VST plugin hosting and automation support (hosting third-party effects/instruments).
  • Not the easiest app to learn for some users.

Great app just wish I could use a AKAI APC mini with the app, it connects to it and pads work but no lights, no organization, no mode changing buttons, no slider configuration, and it won’t even let you configure anything, I hope this improves

After using this app for over a year solid now, I can say it’s absolutely incredible. Thank you for consistently working on and improving the app. The battery usage is so much better after the 2.0 update, and the previous update added in external auv3 support. I’m excited to see what else will be added over time!
