    Not sure how to multiout koala with Cubasis3 Any tips anyone thanks in advance

    It's very easy...
    ...In Cubasis when you've got a Koala AUv3 track selected just add a new midi track and it will use the next output by default.
    You can also in the Cubasis track inspector add 7 tracks by push of a button (for total 8 instances).

    Inside Koala select a pad and select 'channel' (1-8) to assign the sample to a specific output.

    Good Luck!

    cheers Samu will try it out

    @Samu do I load the first instance of Koala Auv3 into a midi track too and not Audio Track?

    I'd suggest using a midi track in case you need to use Cubasis to sequence Koala as you can NOT select Koala AUv3 as an 'input' to an audio track in Cubasis, only an effect...
    (Audio tracks in Cubasis only accept IAA/AudioBus and Hardware inputs).

    Cheers!

    What a deal for the iap. Is the sampler GarageBand needed :)

  • supadomsupadom

    Ha, now sampling to koala from radio unit is a breeze. No more going back and forth from one app to another. Thanks @elf_audio!

    Just chiming in with this clip on how powerful the toy looking Koala really is…

    @elf_audio excellent update Just one issue When using standalone the saved song no longer contains the samples & importantly resampled loops in a folder which the user may want to use / transfer for other projects. Just the song file. Can this be fixed at all?

  • SamuSamu

    Just in case anyone missed, the FXs that can be used for sampling / re-sampling have an adjustable parameter :)

    Keyboard added too. Update request from Flying Lotus… How is cool is that.

    @Samu Cool is that the Performance Fx?

    The *.song file is a zip file. This is needed in order to be able to load a session into the AUv3.
    (This also makes it easier to share a project between devices).

    Nope, the little FX button on the page where you record to the pads.
    When activated the FX's have a long-tap gesture to adjust the value.

    YES! No more slide over foolishness. This is now the official king of samplers on ios.

    But still a bit tricky to do direct audio recording in Cubasis since you can NOT load AUv3's as 'audio inputs'.
    Hopefully Steinberg wakes up at some point and improves the audio routing capabilities of Cubasis... :sunglasses:

    @samu true but I have lots of resampled loops thats were/are in folders to transfer to DAWS etc It needs a fix for standalone After resaving a few beats the previous folder files are now gone @elf_audio

    They are 'converted' to *.song, this also saves space on the device.
    In case you need to dig out individual loops, open the project in Koala and 'share' the pad/file to the DAW where you need it.

    The new way of storing Koala sessions is way more practical in the long run and is a must when dealing with AUv3's.

    @Samu i understand that but Iam saying for “standalone” projects Not Auv3

    You can rename .koala (new file version) to .zip and it will extract as the original folder with all samples intact.. 👍 I just tried this on desktop after airdropping a .koala file onto it..

    @Samu i will get used to it over time. It works now like how GR16 has and aways has since it was IAA only before Auv3.

    Yeah, maybe. Isn’t it just the matter of pressing the freeze track button to print audio? Not a very bothersome workaround here, as i’ll most probably be printing some au fx on the track too.

    Freeze works, even for the individual multi-outs so it's a very nice implementation :)

    Audio routing would be useful if you have sequences (or samples) in Koala and you want to record to audio but manually change sequence while recording. It would be very creative. You could make mistakes that turn out to be grate.

    Ohhhhh shit yeah @elf_audio !

    Was thinking just yesterday I wish Koala was AUV3

    You beauty!

  • stormbeatsstormbeats

    @elf_audio hi just got your reply on Discord regarding the removal of Koala sample folders . No worries and thanks for new update Marek

  • wimwim

    Oh wow. This is fantastic!

    When I did the IAP in the standalone version the process was a bit buggy. I went to settings > extra and made the purchase. Payment accepted, but the dialog was still sitting there. I dismissed the dialog and the option to purchase it was still there. I thought maybe I spaced out in the purchase process, so I purchased again. This time it said the update was free because I already purchased it. But, it still didn't show that I'd purchased it.

    I exited Koala and came back in. Now the option to purchase is no longer there, but there is also no indication that it had been purchased.

    It all works, but this could be confusing if it happens to others.

    This is phenomenal. Instant buy. Koala is an absolute killer.
