  The

  Greatest! Now that there’s AUV3 support, it’s 10/10. My only wants now are easier access to transport and keyboard controls from the Sample tab without having to constantly switch back and forth between Sample and Sequence for those functions. Oh and I noticed that synths don’t respond to pressure sensitivity from my Novation Launchpad X like they do when I run them in AUM or Logic Pro on Mac. So, I hope that gets fixed.

  The struggle

  This was bad from the start.I want to become a artist and make music,but with this app I had no clue what I was doing no one is my family could help me out ether and you have to pay to get beats and you can’t even upload your music so I would not get this app

  AUM Compatibility Issues

  If you use Koala for fun in stand alone, then it’s really great. If you use it in stand alone in a professional situation it’s great. If you use it in a professional situation within AUM and assign different Koala templates with different samples to separate channels then it’s very frustrating. When you map on Koala in one channel it voids the mapping on the previous Koala channel. This happens even if you save both in Koala and AUM after every move on both channels. If you go back and import the song into the correct channel it still deletes the mapping data you spent a lot of time programming. Saving a song and trying to use it within AUM on a gig is fraught with saving / memory issues and you cannot depend on it. This creates a lot of wasted time.

  Koala sample was good, but kind of confusing

  Because every time I make a new song and I save it and then I load it or I load a different song I have to tap every box in the sequence part cause it doesn’t just play on it’s own like it only plays one box at a time not all the boxes like once it finishes one box it goes to another. It doesn’t do that for me. It’s very confusing and very annoying that that’s why I am rating three stars.

  Great app

  Just got today and been having fun with it. It's pretty dope. I come from making traditional full beats on fl studio and this is like my first sampler app, but yea this app is pretty dope. Only thing Is I wish they had was a timeline and maybe a better piano roll. But other than that this app is fire.

  45 dollars?

  Tips

  You guys should add a transpose feature to the piano roll as well as an easy way to copy piano roll patterns like say if I create a nice drum kit with a nice snare and kick be able to copy those patterns a lot easier just having better copy and paste features also having snapped to pitch features

  The Holy Grail of iPad Music Making apps

  You know and I know! Elf has done the unthinkable and elevated this app to the highest of plateaus, it added AUV3 loading! I wish I could spell out how HUGE this is but, you’ll just have to see for yourself! There’s nothing else left to say but, GO GET IT! I swear, every time I even think about how good this app is I get to updating this review… it’s ridiculousl!

• ★★★★★It clicks when you export

  Sound

  I really love the app, but it sounds like a click when at the beginning of every sample I export. On iOS

• ★★★★★ElonBusts$

  Simply the best

  One of the sole reasons why I even bought an iPad is because of this app and now with the implementation of AuV3 it has basically become a DAWless DAW.
