Getting Battery 3 to work in Live?

I just got my Battery 3 up and running last night - seems to be running fine. Need to make sure the MIDI is all set up correctly once I figure out my work flow in Live 6.

Battery sounds awesome and hardly any latency with my machine (A64X2 with 2GB).

You don't have access to the 'raw' battery audio files (i.e., the wav, or aiff). Battery3 uses a proprietary *cl3 format.
That's not true, the wavs are there for you to use as you want!
My bad. I didn't realize they included them. I assumed the cl3 files was a compressed format that included the audio. The organization of the Battery lib is weird. kits are composed of cl3 files and the wav/aif files are in "Battery 3 kits" folder, but all the cl3 files are in the "Cell Library" folder.

What's weird about it? The .cl3 extension is for the cell library, and that's all it's for.

I'm having major problems using Battery 3 with Live.
The dfd memory problem stops me from opening up the battery engine and crashes live.
I will have to stop using batt and go with using impulse.
Going to try Sonic Transfers' 'Drumstack'
Wish NIs stuff was a bit more stable.

What's the dfd memory problem you're referring to?

'Direct from disc' errors.

I think its because I'm running 4 gig ram.
When I open up a track with Battery in it, Live/Battery comes up with this error message-

Could not allocate DFD memory-(not enough memory available)
Audio engine will be stopped.

Then I can't use Battery and can't close down Live properly.

I've mentioned this before and some others have had the same experience.
It sucks. I really like battery.

Edit- I really liked Battery.

OK... it goes with the > 2GB RAM issue. Now I understand.
Thanks for clarifying.

Battery 3 doesn't work properly outside Live, what makes you think it would work as advertised inside live?

Battery 2 was left with obvious and easily reproduceable bugs for over 2 years right up until battery 3 was out. Do a search on the NI forums to see NIs dubious history.

With the new patch (v. 3.02) I must say B3 is working pretty damn well...and that's outside of Live, as I use it in Reaper. No software's perfect , and before this new patch B3 was definitely broken, but things seem to be mostly fixed now.

How can you tell in battery what the specific pads correspond to in live?? I know C1 is usually a bass drum but what about something that's not a common sound? I don't see anywhere that says what note the pads line up to..And Im not sure if this is what an earlier post about live6 was talking about but can you take a group of sounds from battery and load them into live and save it as a kit??
