Kits for Koala Sampler are saved as .koala files that load as kit presets, with the samples packed inside each file. One file holds up to 4 banks (A, B, C and D). Kit Maker puts the pads in Koala’s own order for you, so any layout works.

The same .koala file works in Koala on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows.

Loading a kit into Koala #

1. Copy the folder of .koala files to your phone or tablet, or to cloud storage you can open from it. For an iPhone or iPad, see Transferring to iOS Devices.
2. In Koala, open the Samples browser by tapping the small SAMPLES text at the bottom right (in Sample or Sequence mode).
3. Tap Add Location and pick the folder with your kits. You only do this once, and the folder stays in the Samples browser from then on.
4. Tap a kit and choose Load Bank.

Load Bank replaces the pads in the bank you have open. Switch to an empty bank first if you want to keep what’s on the current one.

If a kit won’t load #

• Load kits from the SAMPLES browser at the bottom right, not the Import Audio menu at the top right.
• If the kit shows a cloud icon instead of a waveform, it isn’t stored on your device yet. See Transferring to iOS Devices for how to download it.
• Koala needs free space to save a kit’s samples. If a kit fails to load, free up some storage and try again.
