We are working in Koala Sampler! In this task, we will use the samples we recorded earlier to create our first beat: a simple rhythm that can become the foundation of a piece of music.

If you do not have your own samples yet, go back to the previous card: Record sounds.

Step 1: Play Your Samples
#

Tap the pads one by one and check how each sample sounds.

Listen for sounds that work well together.

Step 2: Create a Rhythm
#

Try playing samples one after another.

For example:

  • clap
  • tap
  • clap
  • voice sound

Repeat this sequence a few times until you are happy with the result.

Step 3: Find Your Rhythm
#

Change the order of your samples and try to create a rhythm you like best.

There is no single correct answer—experiment and have fun with the sounds!


Mini Task
#

Create your own beat using at least 3 different samples.

When you find a rhythm you like, go to the next card: Record Your Beat.


Tip: Changing the order of your samples can completely change the sound of your beat.
