Has 4.3.1 fixed the issue with knobs not working?
Hi NI Team, This has to be among the most ridiculous issues I have seen in over 10 years of producing: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/10257828928797-I-Cannot-Control-Battery-4-Parameters I updated to 4.3.0 before January (2025!!) only to find that the knobs are not working, 3 years after this…

Previews don't appears on Kontakt, Battery, Massive X...
Specifically, the issue is related to preset display and browsing: When I open any NI plugin, it only shows a single preset. It’s always the same preset, and it seems to be the first in alphabetical order from the library. The actual preset files are present on my drive (external SSD or storage), in the correct folders,…

Sidechain Compression is not working at all
Hi colleagues, I'm recently started working with Battery 4, and everything is very intuitive and works fine. Except Sidechain Compression. I assign a cell (kick drum) to the SC compressor on the bus, the litte "SC" appears in the cell. It looks fine, but the SC compressor is not triggered at all. All parameters are set,…

Why Can't I see Battery Controls in KK
Hi all, So I've had Komplete 14 for a while now but just recently picked up an S88 MKII (mainly for the piano players who visit the studio) but have been exploring KK a little. However, when I load a Battery patch in KK I can only see half of the interface for some reason? I can't see any of the controls for the individual…

Battery 4: Is there any way to disable the cell focus jumping around during playback ?
Hi all, I am stuck trying to work out how to stop the cell focus constantly changing during playback, each cell is gaining focus as it is triggered in Reaper and Ableton Live. It makes changing the parameters impossible while the loop is playing.

All NI apps and plugins are locking up for me whether running standalone or in a DAW.
This morning I had both Maschine and Cakewalk Sonar running, along with too many other apps causing some issues with memory thrashing. After closing things down and rebooting I can no longer get anything from NI to load. Most standalone apps (Absynth, FM8, Guitar Rig 6, Maschine 3) fail to even show the splash screen.…

Tweaking a Tom Sample
Hey Bat 4 Users, I'm trying to edit the EQ on a Flr Tom. The actual sample name is MidHiTom Session V13. My problem is it's giving me a "bend-up" kind of effect that's more of a synth sound rather than an organic head sample. Actually, it's 2 different sounds (I think). I hear both an organic, which I want to keep, but…

BUG? - Cell selection always reverts to the first cell
I think the cell selection/focus should always be restored according to last selected cell after closing and reopening the GUI. I can't say for sure if this was the case in older versions, but I'm pretty sure it was. The way it is now can lead to accidentally editing the wrong cell after reopening the GUI because the focus…

Problems Loading Samples
Hi everyone, I am having an issue loading samples in Battery 4. When I create new rows in a blank kit. Every cell/note after row D defaults to C1. It didn't behave like this in battery 3 so I used to make kits and import them there. After manually assigning the cells to the correct input and loading samples, what used to…

What's planned for the NKS Partnership?

Battery 4 (lack of) development
Hi folks, Is NI ever going to update Battery 4? Battery was one of the main reasons I bought Komplete, I love its simple & fast workflow, but… it looks and works like a 20-year old piece of software (15 years to be precise.) GUI isn't resizable, the onboard reverb is awful, the file browser is ******, it frequently forgets…

Any idea why Battery 4 is now encountering a major problem on startup?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, and reinstalled the factory library too. Same error. I'm aware I have old hardware (hence still…

Better organization of battery kits
Hello, I tend to be a sound hoarder. Has anyone been able to organize the battery kits in a better way. I would love to, at a minimum, append the name to the kits so I could put them into groups.

Dynamic Coloured Pads without the Software???
I have a KK Keyboard, love it's integration with NI instruments. Running Logic Pro. I now also want a pad controller (since the keyboard doesn't have any!

Is there a way to create TRAKTOR Pattern Player Kits using Maschine 2, or Ableton Live 12?
It would be a fantastic thing to have a simple method to create & save TRAKTOR DJ Pattern Player Kits; surely there must be a means to do this using the flagship NI instrumentation - Maschine or Battery 4 are most likely candidates. I'd appreciate any pointers!

trigger battery 4 kits with kontakt?
Some time ago I was able to load a Battery4 kit and, let's say, Abbey Road drums, and after muting AR, whatever was playing in AR was being played in Battery. When playing a MIDI groove pattern in AR drums (pressing the play button), Battery would play that groove but using its own kit. I didn't have to press the keyboard…

A Few Maschine Pre-Sale Questions

EQ on drums for humanizing
Per the contest, my trick with Battery is to clone a drum, and for each clone, tweak the EQ on each (i.e., the same snare has four copies with different EQs). The EQs are similar to the slight variation you hear if you strike a drum head in a different area. Each of the clones is in the same random trigger rotation group.…
