KODA Sampler


KODA Early Access Example Instruments

KODA Early Access Example Instruments

Early access to KODA Sampler plugin is available!
As a new sampler it seems very well thought out… Documentation available on the site

 

From their FAQ:

What does early access actually mean?
Anybody can get a licensed copy of KODA for free while we finish version 1. We’re not setting a strict end date. Expect at least three months, and we’ll reassess from there.

 

Can you tell me more about the programming language?
For performance scripts, we use “KodaScript”, which is a simplified domain-specific language that transpiles to Cmajor – a C-family language optimized for real-time DSP and audio applications. KODA also supports plain Cmajor for building your own Insert Effects.

 

Do I need to know how to code?
No. But this will depend on two things: What you are wanting to achieve with your instrument, and whether you choose to use an AI coding agent (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) We are building KODA to suit both the experienced programmer, and the person who never wants to touch a line of code. If KODA lights your spark for wanting to code, then we can certainly point you in the right direction for getting started.

 

What does it run on?
Windows and MacOS, as a standalone app or as a VST3 and AU plugin in your DAW.

FFT of some of SD086 ROOF IRON Contact Mic recordings…
Ehrlund EAP Contact Mics really do hear up to 100kHz!

re the Roof Iron
In my very early days I cut FX for a short film with a difficult director… There was a scene set in a shed with tin roof & nothing I recorded & edited for it was right according to the director… After much frustration I suddenly realsied what I needed to do. I got some sheets of roof iron & strung them up.. And I gave the director the headphones & I let him pewrform the sounds while hearing how they sounded via the mics… We recorded maybe 20min of sounds, then I loaded the recordings (real time transfer to ProTools, this was before digital recorders)
And then I made him set down & go through the recordings and pick the bits he liked. I cut those in and just like that all problems went away!!

The thing I realised was not that I needed to hang some roof iron up.
The thing I realised is the moral of this story: make people own their decisions!!
He was a control freak & I suspect a self prescribed genius, so only he could know what was the ‘right’ sound.
Once I realised that, I just gently made him own the decisions at every step.
You don’t like what I did? OK show me what you do like.
OK now make them be even more specific – which bits of that? And where?
Directors like to direct, but some directors also like to micro manage which tends to lead to worse outcomes for everything and everyone…
C’es la vie!
