Battery 3

[cfb25]

Anybody using this yet? I have Bat 2... And use it mainly for electronic effects etc... Not really as a "real" drum sound module. Anybody have anything to say about this new version and what it ships with.. Abilities to transform samples etc...
Thanks

B3 on my quad just DOES NOT work. i will not load as a plug in,it hangs protools as well as the othe new NI products FM8 Absynth 4. i hear NI has been able to reproduce this problem and has a fix "coming soon". sidenote, all new plug ins work fine in stand alone mode. hopefully this fix will come soon,all of the new stuff sounds incredible

How does FM8 compare to FM7 as an RTAS instr ?
I have FM7 worth upgrading?
Do you use Reaktor 5 at all

cheers Dave

It appears that most of the problems with battery 3 are happening on dual core machines. Hopefully NI will address that soon but considering the glacial pace at which they fixed Battery 2 bugs I wouldn't hold my breath. Having said that I did install Battery 3 on a machine with a 3.0Ghz P4 hyperthreading processor and haven't had any problems at all. The interface is much improved, some of the included samples are very good, many new features like onboard convolution reverb, drum articulations, improved effects, etc, etc. Bottom line is that so far I'm very pleased with it. It's a great VI. Of course none of that matters if your platform is dual core and NI doesn't get it fixed.

very true lapick........... it look like NI should be getting updates for B3 .FM8 update did the trick for me on my dual core.i also recieved Massive today and i installed along with the Massive update and all is working fine on my quadzilla.i am hoping they are doing new instruments at a time and B3 and Absynth4 will come soon.

I tried the FM8 Demo --obviously not updated because its unstable as anything on PT7.1 HD

sorry to hear dave. i wonder if the demo is the upadted version and i wonder if you can download the update for the demo? i will try to find this out for you on the ni forum.i had stability problems befroe the update came out. after the update all is fine now.i think FM8 is a different monster than FM7.Its awesome. i do use reaktor 5 and works great. i'm on a quad amd system
