Elf Audio have updated their hugely popular Koala Sampler, currently available for $4.99 with optional in-app purchases.
What’s new in version 1.4092
- You can now save to iCloud drive
- Tempo tap could generate infinite tempos if the taps were generated fast
- Resample from individual buses
- Fixed problems with dragging finger off buttons and then back onto them holding clear and tapping keyboard button when in keyboard mode will clear the notes for the current pad
- Can now open TOOLS menu just by dragging up or down on TOOLS rather than having to tap
- There is now a cog on the song info panel that opens a menu of song related options.
- If pad has a slash ‘/’ in the label, it would crash “EXPORT ALL SAMPLES” because it incorporated it blindly into the file name making a directory.
- Fixed swing midi mapping
- emoji are rendered monochromatically in text labels like song names, bus names and pad labels
