i bought battery, i also have strike and superior drummer, battery is not as good, battery drives me mad with it's anomalies. if you like spending hours clicking mouse buttons and keys, get battery, if you want fast drum tracks, strike or, ez drummer. sorry N.I.
@19501960 The Battery is for people who want to have a lot of control to tweak sounds. We actually agree with you that EZ Drummer is better for traditional drums parts but Battery is hard to beat for electronic or experimental musicians.
Is there another way that I can create a layered effect by simply triggering multiple cells (with different instruments) at one time...I guess by linking several cells together? Thanks
@Zordid0 EZ Drummer and Superior Dummer are fantastic drum romplers but they won't allow you to load your own samples, nor do they have the sound shaping capabilities of Battery.
how do you change the attack decay and release of a reversed sample. When you click reverse the waveform doesn't reverse in the display. When i had battery 1 it would show the reversed waveform and then you could alter the attack etc. Thanks for any help!
hey man im new to battery do you know how i use the reverb? i know its obviously under effects and under the sends section but i dunno how to get it to work im such a n00b........ lol
Battery 3 doesn't come with a sequencer. You need to load the VST version into a DAW like Cubase or Reaper and play and record the sequence into the DAW.
as an fyi i wouldnt have that music playing in the background as you are doing this tut. people seem to be getting confused that you are actually playing them.
it's simple say you hit your pad or key softly, you don't want that kick to sound hard so you map a softer kick sound to the range of hitting the pad soft (midi is 128 total steps so you could range 1-90 as your soft hit if you hit anything harder than that which would be registering abouve 90 as a velocity value you would want to trigger a harder sample.) the crossfades help transition between the samples
Battery 3 does not come with drum loops. You can record your own by inputing the MIDI notes into a MIDI Editor or record and play the drum samples using a keyboard MIDI controller or a drum pad MIDI controller.
anyone know how they triggered the samples in these demos? Do they use one of those big midi drum kits or just a drum pad you think?

No matter what sound a put in a cell it comes out a piano sound when i click it...do you know why?

@alienbomb You need to route the midi track to Battery. It sounds like you currently have it routed to the GM synth of your soundcard.

Do you know how to direct each sell to a diffirent channel in my mixer?

@GerritBoom Select the cell, then, beneath the volume fader, you can select the individual output.

where the hell is the play button on battery? for the life of me i cant get a drum pattern going this is the most fustrating experiance ive ever had

@stussyboys Battery is a sample player, not a sequencer. BPM or Guru may fit your needs better since they're both.

each cell has it's own gain knob for reverb. you have to manually select each cell you desire to have reverb and adjust the verb gain to your liking.

i dont understand the thing with the velocity at the end?
what exactly means velocity layering? i always think it menas how hard i play the keyboard another sample playes(which i have programmed)
but in your example there are fade in/outs but i can't seee the sense... please explain.

Excellent! I need to learn how to layering on each cell to create a phatter snare or kick!
could you show how to do that on the tutorial?
winfred55 3 years ago
you make 2 or more cells play when you strike the same key, so the layering is endless!
Hope this helps
