r/KoalaSampler

Going down the Koala AUv3 rabbit hole, and it just occurred to me you can use the Koala sequencer to change patterns in the Hammerhead plugin (notes C0-G0 map to patterns 1-8).

​

I’m in a post-rock/art-rock band in Mexico where I mainly play synths and do backup vocals, but I also launch some samples, play the accordion (in one song) and use minor percussion for a couple of songs. I left a diagram of my current setup, and some pictures too.

I have the CZ/PL 88 MIDI from LewisMidi to recall patches for my Yamaha Recafe CS via sysex. My Reface output is then connected to a Flamma Delay and a Flamma Reverb, and then to a minimixer. I have a Novation launchpad mini connected to an old android phone with Koala sampler, the phone's output is also connected to the minimixer.

For rehearsals, I connect a microphone - for backing vocals - and a wireless microphone - for the accordion - directly to the minimixer and the minimixer output goes to an amplifier.

When playing live, I only connect the synthesizer and the samples to the minimixer, giving me 3 outputs to the venue PA, one from the minimixer with the synth and the samples through a D.I., a second one from the accordion with the wireless microphone that also goes through a D.I., and the third one from the backing vocals connected directly to the console of the venue.

I've been playing the synths for 4 years, and just a couple months with a cheap accordion. I've changed my setup tons of times but I think this is the setup that I'm going to stay with; I've said this so many times I no longer believe my self 🙃

The last picture is from the last week and I've already change that setup to the one I'm showing here because I had some issues during the show with some pedals I was using for the accordion and the vocals 😅

I love my reface ❤️ hope to find other reface lovers

🐂🐂🐂🐂

I am a violinist/fiddler by trade, so I haven’t got much hands-on with rhythm instruments. What kind of advice do you have for people wanting better bass lines?

I'm new to the app, and also new to beatmaking (I'm more of a piano and guitar player). But I really want to make some Boom Bap-style music, just for fun! If you have any YouTube channels for learning, I'd be very grateful.

Setup: iPhone 12 Pro + TempoPAD C16 (and a meal tray :D)

Marek, you're the GOAT

Can't wait to check this out.

Flip of look your back! Very funny to play with this song and exploring the fusion side of Himiko.
