Compared to your other options I think Battery is waste of money except maybe for the sample library. It's just like a watered down sampler and I find it to be slow to load and a cpu hog. It's one of the first drum plugins I got and I haven't touched at all since getting the other options mentioned.

Not to mention buggy in my experience. I REALLY liked Battery 3 myself, the library and progamming options are great on that one. Sadly, even after NI's updates I was still running into rather large issues with it, and sold it not long after that.

Some people use it with no issues, but that was not my experience at all.

There were too many issues with Battery for me, loading times, bugs/crashes and CPU hog as mentioned. This was with the demo!

I'm playing around with the Multi version of uTonic and was just wondering, I've got 7 Audio tracks where i've routed some of the channels from uTonic, but the Kick channel, is that meant to stay in the MIDI channel where the AU is? Is there no way to route it to an Audio track? I've found all the other tracks (ie. 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, etc) but 1/2 is nowhere to be found..
