There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi @Jeremy_NI and @Simon_NI and @Kaiwan_NI - I was just wondering if you could give us any hope about the development of Battery4? As you know there are looooooooong standing bugs which havent been addressed for years.

Battery is a staple for so many producers and I feel like it would help so much to know that its going to be addressed and developed.

We're not asking for specific details on future features, just an acknowledgement that you will fix the bugs and continue to develop Battery.

Thanks!

Might be worth letting NI know that battery is a well loved and used product and it would be foolish to let it go.

Voice your opinion and let them know your feelings.

Who still uses battery and who would like to see it continue to be supported?

i’d love to see battery beig developed separate from maschine. it really is great for acessong sound through DAW. It would be just more convenient to use it for full drum design as a drum rack. Nit that I’m missing features, but a bit more support of better hi-res screen support, some new features (AI-driven?) added, maybe some simplistic drum synths (or the one from maschine). It could be a drum powerhouse for those who just need a plugin for DAW.
Btw, I own maschine, but never use it as a plugin. It just don’t make sense to me (personally) that way. Battery - makes sense as a plugin.

They know it already. They just don't care.

All their instruments sends usage data back, I think they have a pretty good idea about which instruments people actually use.

I have that switched off.

So do I and probably half of their customers. Usage data obtained that way is unreliable at best.

Tom Collins

I don't think any of you have grounds to make those assumptions. If you have data from just half of all your customers, I'd say that data was pretty valuable.

I simply don't want anyone to grab my usage data, period. Even less so in case it's a company such as NI, who really don't care about their customers.

Tom Collins

And that's fine, I just oppose against the notion believing that your own actions is synonymous with the actions of most people. You simply have no way of knowing what data they have and how valuable it is. The same way as just because I feel NI cares about me as a customer, I can't deduct that you feel valued as well.

SaschaFranck

Thing is, NI is abandoning products left and right. All in favour of their cash cows. No more idealism at all. And that's all there is about it. Don't need insight into any user data for that resume.

Wow, that's a shame.. Not having it Komplete 15 makes it official..
Still holding hope for one final update tho, but lets be honest, this thread is 6 months old.

Tom Collins

It's still in Komplete 15.

The fact they still sell it is mind blowing, I cannot use it as it does not load any of my kits on my Mac. Its been like this for 2 years now and of course no sfz export/import.

catch-22

Why did they close the relocate bug thread? I'm still waiting for a fix.

Tom Collins

The fix is coming soon, it was stated in the October update thread.
