Koala is a fun and effective app for making music. It has a very clean and fast workflow. It helps me to experiment and approach music making in a playful way. By recording sounds with the microphone effects or by resampling with the performance effects, you can create an unlimited ammount of interesting sounds from recordings made with everyday objects. The sequencer lets you quickly build and develop loops.
The developer (who is active on the Audiobus
Forum) is open for suggestions and has already announced an upcoming update which will allow sample import via AudiOShare. I have no doubt he will also add other extras in future updates.
If you, like me, have a tendency to get lost in all the options that DAW‘s have and would like to concentrate on making music without thinking to much, I highly recommend Koala. It is easy to use and uncluttered, yet offers the right tools to experiment and develop your ideas in an intuitive way without thinking to much.
Great app and amazing value for the money!
