The gear is very stable, as usual Native Instruments make a very good job. The sampling engine has been changed and it has now a lot of improvements, the sample library is bigger and better, the matrix cells now can contain up to 128 patterns. The application performs well without using a lot of cpu resources and it provides some great balance between the human touch and the pc programming of the drums. The general configuration is great,everything works fast and the interface is straight forwarded. Native Instruments Battery 3 is compatible with Windows Xp, 7 and Mac, I haven't encountered any problems regarding the help manual, everything is pretty well explained and the functions are easily accessible. Battery still gets use in my studio for layering individual drum samples. You should look into the NI Studio Drummer Series if you want realistic multi-sampled drum sounds. This library was really designed to compete with BFD2, Superior Drummer 2, Addictive Drumms, Steven Slate Drums, etc. The classic synth drum sounds are all included (808, 909, Linn, etc) and there are plenty of unique sampled drums included as well. However, Battery has a lot to offer Komplete users that don't want to purchase Maschine. Native Instruments have clearly moved on from Battery to Maschine as their synth-drum software of the future. Having a library of patterns would have also been helpful. My wish came true with NI released Maschine, but I would have rather seen it included in Battery earlier. I have always wished that Battery included a sequencer for drum pattern editing. It is really useful for making the drum samples 'punch' in a mix. One of the best effects is the 'saturation'. There is a lot of editing that can be done with the samples like: effects, adsr envelope, etc. It is simple to load the included samples with Battery, and also load samples that weren't included in the library if you have some of your own that you would like to use. Authorization is completed using the NI Service Center application.īattery is really easy to use, mostly because it has one purpose - trigger drum samples. It can be downloaded off the NI website and installed. There are also a large amount of pre-processed/treated/effected drum samples included if you don't want to spend the time to tweak raw or stale sounding drum samples.īattery can be purchased on its own from Native Instruments, however I received it as part of the Native Instruments Komplete Bundle.
The synthetic drum samples include samples from analog drum machines and also sample from digital drum machines. This includes 'acoustic' sounds as well as 'synthetic' sounds. Battery is a huge library of drum samples. Battery is a software application and plug-in that can be used as a stand-alone software instrument, or as a plug-in inside a DAW.
