Bigger & Better Persussive Power with the Battery Plug-in!

BATTERY 2 is the ultimate drum sampler for creating and fine-tuning all of the percussive elements in any production. With a streamlined design for fast and intuitive control, generate perfect drums and percussion every time. From the smoothest grooves to the most rugged rhythms - BATTERY 2 is the professional choice. Building on its predecessor's strengths, BATTERY 2 has been radically updated and enhanced. Whilst being far more powerful, BATTERY 2 has simultaneously become even more intuitive and easy to use. Working with drum samples and kits has never been as fast, simple and versatile as it is with BATTERY 2. New Battery 2 features in detail:

• New Sample Engine: At the heart of BATTERY 2 is a new high-performance sample-engine delivering improved efficiency and an even better sound quality. 256 stereo voices and 32 Bit internal resolution bring the quantity and the quality needed to get the most out of your rhythm tracks.
• Customizable Matrix: Customize the cell matrix. A total of 72 possible sample-cells: up to 6 rows with between 9 and 12 cells per row ensure your drum kit is presented in the most economic and practical manner.
• Graphical Mapping Editor: The graphical mapping editor enables the easy configuration of up to 128 sample layers per cell for even greater versatility. Merge different sections of sounds together to form new samples. Individually trigger different samples layered within the same cell for a deeper creative expression.
• Filter / Equalizer: A dedicated filter / equalizer per cell offering 15 individual types of filter plus presets optimised for drums ensure your percussive elements sound just right.
• Compressor: Each individual cell has its own compressor allowing for exact manipulaton of the dynamic range so that each hit packs just the right punch. Or use the built-in compressor presets for high-quality result sright from the start.
• Modulation: Modulate up to 8 parameters per cell with a wide range of modulations sources and targets. Use each cell's integrated freely assignable LFO, envelope and other sources to give your rhythm section a life of its own.
• Loop section: Customise your samples. The Loop section offers 4 loops per sample including tuning, crossfade and alternating loop functions, letting you edit ingenious sounds. A process made easy by the Loop Point visualization and Loop Preview features.
