"The ultimate pocket sampler"

About this app

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."

It's genuinely one of the best music tools I've ever used. Its insistence on resampling makes guides you down a path where you're always creating, and not spending too long tweaking endlessly. Make a sound, modify, resample, do it again - who cares how you got there. keep going. This is not a creation tool that's in any way limited because of being a mobile app - it's a world class creativity haven. Just get it and have fun.
