NATIVE INSTRUMENTS BATTERY 4 KIT FILE MAC OS
The software is sold for 199 euros (update, 99 euros), and is compatible with Mac and PC, Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.7, and available as a standalone or plug-in (including AAX native, but not, as of yet, RTAS). Native did, however, in the interim, introduce Maschine, and several other virtual drum solutions. We had to wait seven years for a new version to become available as a package with Komplete 9 (basic version and Ultimate) and as a standalone. Updates followed: Battery 2, in 2004 (72 pads, 256 stereo voices, 32 bits audio engine, new formats manager, 3,5 Gb library, etc.), then Battery 3 in 2006 (128 pads, over 12 Gb of samples, over 100 kits, new effects, etc.). The software was compatible with Mac and PC, as a stand alone and a VST plug-in (VST2, DXi, Mas) and could import several different resolutions and formats (Wave and Aiff 8, 16, 24 and 32 bits in LM4 format, Akai S1000 and S3000, SoundFont, LoopAZoid and Reaktor). The first version of Battery had 54 pads, 128 voices (stereo or mono), several output configurations, an interface something like that of LoopAZoid but more intuitive, numerous possibilities for resynthesizing as well as over 600Mb of ready to use samples and kits. The NeXoft team then went to work with Native developers to put together a more powerful tool, dedicated to importing and editing percussion and drum sounds, for a fee.
Combined with an electronic drum pad or external MIDI controller, Battery can also turn any computer into an extremely versatile digital drum kit that can be played lived as a solo performance or in a band context.In 2001, Native Instruments introduced Battery to the market, a percussion sampler following in the footsteps of LoopAZoid, software created by NeXoft, which offered 48 tracks, 64 voices, 8 outs and other very appreciated functions, not the least one being the fact that it was free. The time stretching feature allows samples to be sculpted and loops to be adjusted to the tempo of any song. Typical articulations such as flam, humanize, and roll add a natural feel to your rhythms. Battery 3 also offers a wide range of creative sounds, shaping features and effects, including filters, EQ, distortion, compressor. Sample formats such as Apple Loops, REX, Akai, EXS, and many more can also be loaded, allowing you to use just about every drum sample available, as well as any samples and audio files that you create yourself. It comes with a comprehensive arsenal of over 100 electronic and acoustic drum and percussion kits, 6 of which are included in the demo version. With its multitude of features, we can easily recommend Battery to both newbie beatheads and old-school pros alike.īattery is a full-featured drum instrument that can be used both standalone and as a plug-in in any popular music sequencer. Thankfully, Battery interfaces with RTAS, VST, Audio Units, Core Audio, Core MIDI, Dxi, ASIO, and Direct Sound, giving you plenty of options for hooking up to other programs. Our only complaint with Battery is that it really can't do much without a sequencer or some other MIDI device to drive it. We liked the free-form envelope controls, which make it a snap to custom-tailor sounds to your specs. Other controls include tune, saturation, bit control, and hertz. Also included is a mapping editor for layering up to 128 sounds together. Each sample cell has an enormous amount of sound-tweaking flexibility, boasting tools such as compressors, multimode filters, LFO, customizable envelopes, and resampling effects. Once you load sound into the matrix-style interface, the fun begins. Built around a clean interface that has become the de facto standard for all products in Native Instruments' pro-audio line, Battery is approachable and simple to learn. Combining the ease of use of a traditional drum machine with the sound- sculpting prowess of a sampler, Native Instruments Battery 2.0 is one of the best software-percussion tools available.
