How to use Koala with Playtron.
To use Koala sampler with Playtron you should open the new project, go to settings, and then choose MIDI and be sure that the MIDI mapping and MIDI velocity is off. Then you should see that MIDI note offset is set to C1 that's all you need here.
Go to general and deactivate hold to record button, which means when you press the key on Playtron, it will automatically start recording a sample.
