Help...Battery alternative within Live?

Nah not the others.

Im not clued up on live enough to do what is being discussed and to be honest i want simplicity and find battery from the demo rather intuitive to use, and my sample library in terms of drums is rubbish at the moment.

I want to be making pete rock type hop hop beats with the pad kontrol so think battery can help me with it.

- load an open and closed hihat and a 'dummy' sample..
(this 'dummy' sample could be empty or you could set it's volume to -inf dB)
- set voices to 2..

so if you trigger the open hihat twice, quickly after each other it will not self choke..
though if you want to choke the open hihat you just trigger the closed hihat and the dummy sample at the same time..

not a pretty workarround but it can be done.
Of course - dummy samples, why didn't I think of that?
Sometimes the solution is so simple.
Nice one mate

thing is that I never used this method but I was just thinking about it and typed it down..
funny that some features need a problem first to be discovered..

I use BFD, padKONTROL, and a Muse Receptor. It is quite possibly the best vitual kit I can find. The Receptor off-loads the sampling from the main computer. I still capture the MIDI events on the time line, but the Receptor is doing all the sampling for me. I have to patch the Receptor back into the sound card to actually record anything, but the results are wonderful.
