Koala Sampler and SP404 MK2 have always been a great combo, but with the recent 4.04 update on the SP, this beatmaking duo just leveled up with official integration between the two! With this, a lot of the weaknesses of each sampler are fixed and turns it into what I think is one of… if not the best gear combos out there right now. Even better, we can now finally stem separate on the SP thanks to Koala’s integration! Today, we’re going to break down everything you need to get this to work, walkthrough the UI, and make a beat. Let’s get into it 🥁
