There, you manage and import drum kits, which, in Battery speak, are collections of sounds. Starting at the top of the screen, you will see the master section. It's efficient and inviting, and it allows for easy experimentation and manipulation over scores of samples simultaneously, without overwhelming the user or crowding the screen.
Otherwise, you might want to dedicate a bit of time to getting your bearings before you get to the serious tweaking.AN INTERFACE LIKE NO OTHERBattery's interface, in many ways, is truly genius. If you are already a user of other NI products (like Reaktor or Kontakt), you will probably feel right at home with this interface. This olive-green wonder is a serious tool.
Not only is registration a bit of a hassle, but Battery (like most audio programs) requires you to periodically download updates to fix bugs, stay current and make sure everything continues to work well together with your host sequencer and operating system.After loading the program, I was immediately struck by Battery's utilitarian look and feel: no fancy graphics or logos no dangling cables no dark, shadowy “consoles” no dancing light displays. If you don't, you may want to hold off on buying this program until you do. (You can also send the form through standard mail.) This is an easy process, assuming you have Internet connectivity. Registration was relatively easy: I filled out a form with my serial number, and NI e-mailed me a code to unlock the software. Battery 2 makes the process of sample management and manipulation a pleasure, and it stands as one of the best samplers (software or hardware) available today.LOVE AT FIRST SIGHTI installed Battery 2 on an Apple Mac G4/1.67GHz PowerBook with 2 GB of system RAM and Mac OS X (version 10.3.9).įor a host sequencer, I used Apple Logic Pro 7. Combining these great sounds with an easy-to-understand, clutter-free interface, NI has provided musicians with an extremely powerful, elegant and user-friendly musical instrument. At $229 retail, it comes ready to roll with more than 3.5 GB of sounds (that's more than 9,400 professional drum and percussion samples) organized into various acoustic and electronic collections. Battery 2, Native Instruments' premium virtual drum module, is an easy-to-learn, highly flexible and configurable software sampler.
