Sound library
A factor that greatly dictates a software’s ease of use is its “library (sounds).”
“Battery4″s “sound library” has gotten an upgrade,
and finding/previewing sounds is alot easier than before.
Reading kits
Select sounds you want to use from the “Library” tab.
The search path flows from 「Kits」→「Drums」→「Acoustic」
After narrowing down, the resulting “kits” will show up below.
Double click on a kit to bring it up.
Reading samples
In the “Samples” selection,
you can read instruments individually, such as kick, snare, and cymbal.
You can choose to do maneuvers such as switch out the “snare” in the kit.
Use this function to make your own original kits!!
Select the “Sample” tab and find the sound you want.
The results will show up.
Just drag and drop to the cell you want to place it.
Previewing samples
You can preview sounds on the bottom left area of the interface.
By turning on the megaphone mark, the sample sounds will play.
In addition, you can adjust the listening volume from the slider on the right.
By turning on the “refresh” mark on the left,
just selecting the sample will allow you to switch out the cell.
