BATTERY boasts separate sound parameters for each of its 54 sample slots, powerful modulation capabilities and unbeatable ease of use. Its sample-accurate timing, internal 32-bit resolution and 128 velocity layers per sample slot create a state-of-the-art percussion programming environment. BATTERY is compatible with the AKAI, SF2, LM4, AIFF, WAV and MAP formats, so its sound library is already enormous. However, more than 20 high quality soundsets are included that take full advantage of BATTERY's unique features.
Each of the 54 sample slots offer a volume envelope (AHDSR), a pitch envelope (DBD), a bit-reduction effect and a shaper for controlling the dynamics. All parameter adjustments are calculated and immediately shown in the Wave Display in realtime. BATTERY is not limited to drum samples, however, as each sample slot can receive MIDI data on a selected MIDI channel and can transpose the pitch of the sample by MIDI notes.
Every sample slot features six modulation routings which include many useful and drum-oriented settings that have already been configured as presets. Each sample slot has a unique FX Loop that can be used to creating modern, innovative and rhythmic sound effects, akin to extreme time stretching or granular synthesis. Samples may be loaded into the matrix by drag & drop from the desktop or by using a dialog box with the automatic sample preview function.
The contents of different soundsets can be easily compared and combined into new ones without the hassle of readjusting any parameters. Up to three banks in LM4 format can be imported and used at a time, while AKAI sounds can be read directly from CD.
