While Native Instruments' KONTAKT is well known for its ability to read multiple sample formats, fewer people realize that NI's BATTERY 3 can do a good a job too! Besides reading KONTAKT files, BATTERY can also read WAV, AIFF, MPC samples and programs, HALion, Samplecell, Giga, REX and REX 2, Apple Loops, AKAI S1000 to S6000, EXS24, and Sound Fonts. Another excellent feature is the ability to load in individual sounds or to import an entire set of samples with their specific mappings. In this way, you can easily expand your BATTERY library!
