So I think I am going to sit down and try using this now. Just curious if anyone has any tips, tuts, or suggestions for using this in a step sequencer like Logic, etc.
At this point, I'm not so concerned about making a certain style (though that info would still be appreciated) as much as I am interested in getting this thing running, etc...
Loading samples into the bank seems evident. I guess triggering these samples through the keyboard or the piano roll seems evident too, though the more "advanced" information is what I am looking for. To be more specific, when and why to use the Edit Pane - Proper use and strategies for cell settings, velocity mapping, modulation, filters, and compressors, seems important too.
Though I said I'm not going after a certain sound yet, I would indeed be curious about how someone like Richard Devine might go about using Battery. Perhaps he is triggering through Max? I dunno. I do have to say the Absynth Tutorial DVD was quite helpful for little tricks. Something like that for Battery 2 would be nice.
Thanks in advance!

So this is the new version of the drum sampler then?
I have FXpansion DR-008, which is the equivalent of Battery 1, and feel that it is the heftiest of the VSTs I use, CPU wise. I am really discouraged by stuff that takes up half of my computer. I can't imagine using something that expands upon these functions further. How is the CPU load so far?

i havent really used it. just messed around a few times.
i'd imagine Richard Devine is just loading up some hot drum samples he made (in god knows what), and is just using it as a normal drum machine with his awesome sounds.
I dont get the feeling that his rhythms are trigger by max or the like... but I could be wrong.
if youre using logic... have you messed with ultrabeat? Its great

Yeah, its between that or Battery. Since I have it, I figured I would give it a whirl. So how is everyone else rocking their beats if they're not using Battery or FXpansion?

routing groups of sounds to different channels for compression is nice
the builtin effects are a tad weak, aside from the envelopes
