For anyone following the YouTube videos, number 4 is now live (although you’ll know that already if you have joined the Beat Cult :wink:).

In previous videos I’ve taken the beat through sampling, creation & effects, and this one looks at performance/final stages, which more or less wraps things up for this particular beat.

The next videos will look at different approaches incorporating more external elements, plus a whole host of other things (both within Koala and outside it). I haven’t decided if the next one will start to look at ambient productions - I’ll look to record it on Friday, probably - but, even if it transpires that something else happens first, ambient Koala videos won’t be far away.

Thank you for anyone watching - I hope these videos are of some benefit.

I love the Spring Reverb that sits within iVCS3 but I’m admittedly quite obsessed with spring reverb (I’m sure others are great too)

I’m not sure that I should post this in here since my latest KOALA video doesn’t actually feature KOALA at all…

Instead it featurea a few guitar pedals, the Koma Elektronik Field Kit FX and a dictaphone though.

To explain: one of my subscribers asked me a question about where I get the sounds I use within KOALA so I made a video to demonstrate it. If you use any kind of sampling at all, hopefully you might get something interesting out of it.

Eventide has joined the AUv3 party now too. The “ribbon/hotswitch” feature is a nice touch. From what I can tell so far, all of the parameters are smoothed and sound nice to modulate in real time.

The desktop Harmonizer plugins are amongst my favourites… very dangerous business!

Wow, these look great. I wonder if Valhalla is heading this way?

My ipad is starting to look like a better and better option to include in the mixing mastering process… The effects like eventide and fabfilter and other are way cheaper on the iPad. With AUM you have a pretty decent workflow too, to mix tracks. Love it!

Good point. I think Valhalla did an Audio Damage EOS 2 algorithm.

I’ll wait on these and see where things go. But I was under the impression the Harmonizer is still the best in show? Might go for it…

For anyone interested: it looks like the Korg apps have had a price cut. I got notifications that Mono/Poly, iMS-20, Odyssei etc. were down at £15 at the moment.

Some questions:
Is there any basic simple sinewave ios synth?
Can any as mixpre users confirm that it works with iPad?
Thanks!

iPad sees the mixpre as an interface and they can relate in both directions. One cannot currently upload mixpre files to iPad wo/ beta software or an external device.

audulus can create a simple sine wave. i use it for that specific reason all the time.

I think you could use Troublemaker in a way pretty close to this… I don’t think I’d use it as a test tone, but as a sine osc synth, it can be pretty nice

Not a synth but an oscilator/tone generator:

Thanks for the Mono/Poly shout - I just grabbed that and will definitely invest in others before the sale ends (which I understand to be at the end of August).

I’ve just put up the latest Koala video which I think (and hope) is the best yet. In this one I literally took all the sounds from the previous video - where I ran the Yamaha PSS450 through a Minifooger MF Drive, EHX Nano Clone and Koma Elektronik Field FX reverb - and made a track out of them in real time. As a result it’s a longer video - just over 40 minutes - but it shows every single element of how I made the track and is essentially as if you were there with me whilst I was making it.

I’d be really interested to hear if people think that it’s a useful/interesting approach.
