A charged library for electronic music to add effects and enhance your workflow. Use the drag-and-drop feature for faster activity.
The Native Instruments Battery 3 is a special application designed to meet all the requirements of percussion and drums, for a fun-filled musical performance. The user can make use of various types of drumming options such as acoustic beats for soothing background or the electronic drums for some rocking hits.
The application unleashes an acclaimed drum sampler that comes with an extensive library, providing more options to the user, and showcases a smart engine that produces world of crisp, clean and punchy drum-beats with the right timing. Its library has over 12GB of music, featuring over 23,000 distinct samples, 2,600 categories of drum cells, 100 drum kits and all varieties of musical styles from classical to modern rock.
The application also has many surprises such as beat synchronization with loop import for Apple Loops, REX, Acid Wave, Beat Creator. It also has a time stretching feature per cell for creative sample manipulation, and graphical waveform allows samples to be edited on the fly.
There are performance articulation options such as roll, flam, buzz, right hand, etc, and the tool also incorporates a fully customizable cell matrix, which presents an opportunity of specifying freely definable rows and columns with up to a total of 128 sample cells.
v3.1 [Jun 20, 2010]
BATTERY sports a handy feature: You can emulate the sound characteristic of the two vintage drum machines MPC60* and SP-1200*. You can choose from four different settings from 'low' to 'high'. Individual settings may be applied to every single cell sound and buttons found on the Cell Page.
It features an improved MIDI Learn function for all sliders and knobs which can be automated - it is applied by simply clicking the right mouse button. That makes assigning MIDI controllers to BATTERY a breeze.
The new version also can make use of multiple CPUs or dual-core processors. This is especially helpful when using multiple real-time effects.
You can now set the desired loading behavior in BATTERY by double-clicking a loadable file in the Browser View Tab.
Add sample: A sample is inserted into the currently selected cell. This is the default behavior and equals the behavior of previous BATTERY 3 versions.
Replace sample: This overrides the loaded sample(s) in the currently selected cell. If only one sample is loaded in that cell, it is replaced immediately after double-clicking. If more than one sample is currently loaded, a selecting dialog appears. You can also choose to disable loading on double-click in the Browser.
Improved Samples Missing Dialog:
When this option is activated, the selected search folders of the current Samples Missing dialog are handed over to any cascading or following Missing Samples dialogs. This is especially useful if numerous BATTERY kits or a host project have been moved to a different folder, normally resulting in multiple Samples Missing dialogs. All you have to do now is to specify the new search folder in the initial Samples Missing dialog. All following Samples Missing dialogs will start searching in the same place automatically.
