But there were a few quirks in its operation, and I found myself hoping that an upgrade would take care of them someday. It was great for slinging together a 'kit' of drum samples and for coming up with rhythms quickly, and much faster than using my old Akai hardware samplers to do the same thing.
I've been an ardent fan of Native Instruments' original Battery sample-based software drum module since it was unveiled back in 2001. Is it all John Bonham tom mayhem, or is it limper than a Kraftwerk drum solo? Two years on from its original release, Native's virtual drum module gets its first full upgrade. The left-hand part of the Edit Pane changes according to the selections made on the tabs at the top left of the pane, as shown in the other screenshots in this article, while the display on the right shows the waveform of the currently selected Cell for editing. The Master section is the top strip of this window, above the Sample Matrix of grey Cells in the middle, and the Edit Pane is the section at the bottom. For best results you'll want to use your module for things like the hat.Battery 2 has the same quasi-military look as the original version, as you can see in this shot of the program running under Cubase SX on the review PC. For best results make your layers velocity sensitive so the layer is only audible at certain velocity levels. Make sure to consider layering of samples as well for a fuller sound. For best results, you'll want at least four layers of samples per pad, however one shot samples work fine for some styles of music. Roland transmits 127 different velocity values.
And disable tracking - unless you want the pitch of your sample to change. Make sure to map all zones - both pads and rims. With this feature you can map an entire kit in a few minutes. Click the learn button for the cell you want to program and then hit the desired pad twice. The best way to setup Battery for use with a Roland module is to use it's learn feature. Also I was wondering what kind of samples are good for using this with the td20 in terms of how many layers does a sample need to have in order to take full advantage of the td20's sensitivity power? However I couldnt figure out how to set each drum for each pad, and how to configure the whole thing. The Native Instruments program Battery 2 was running on my computer and when i hit some of the drums it would trigger the battery drum samples on my computer. Anyways, I recently used a midi cable on the input of my computer and on the input of the td20 brain. I have a TD-20 and i use it with my computer a lot.
