Before Kontakt 8 was released I was speculating that perhaps an option for NI would be to integrate a Battery like UI into Kontakt, since Battery is really just a glorified sampler. Now after the release of V8 I'm starting to wonder that even more so.
With the advent of Conflux and Leap it's more easy to conceive that Kontakt 9 might come with the new Battery update/substitute. As with Leap, and Conflux to an extent, the features were already there, NI just made them more immediate and intuitive by presenting them in a new UI. It's now more easy to imagine that they will do the same with a drum sampler like Battery.
Personally, I would be fine with this approach. I would just feel a whole lot better about it if I new it would also import/convert Battery patches.3 -
what problems are you having exactly?

- Limited to 8 sample slots.
- Limited to their extremely questionably MIDI-note-to-slot choice (chromatically starting at C1). All your GM-drumming skills, all your MIDI files, all your virtual drummers, you name it - everything goes outta the window instantly.
- No proper sample tweaking. No real filters per sample, no modulation options.
- Lousy onboard sequencer limited to 4/4 and even note grids.
There's possibly more. Seriously, XO is quite a huge fail. Which is a pity because their sample organisation "cloud" along with the "similarity" functions is quite nice.

I agree with all of that. I wish there up to 16 instruments per set, instead of 8. It would also be good to be able to toggle chromatic versus GM layout. I don’t personally desire any more powerful sample editing in my drum machine than what’s available. But I do wish there was modulation options. And I also agree that it would be good to have non-4/4 sequences and variable sequence lengths for each instrument track in order to generate polyrhythms.
But despite all that… nothing compares to the librarian and workflow efficiency. For 95% of the people, 95% of the time, XO is going to help them create a great set of drums in about 10 minutes.
