Plugin Alliance has announced an update to Unfiltered Audio’s modern drum machine with infinitely tweakable synth capabilities. Version 1.2 of Battalion comes with various improvement and fixes.
Battalion provides music producers, drum programmers, and performers with an unparalleled toolkit for crafting unique beats and textures, whether you’re generating solid-studio beats in minutes or tweaking and experimenting to create something completely out of this world – Battalion has all the tools you need.
Changes in Battalion v1.2
- The “Garbage-Fi” sample engine released on iOS was incorrectly an alpha slicing engine. This release fixes that engine (now called Phase Slice).
- This engine *mostly* works the same, but PA/UA fixed the slice start/end behavior with the intended design.
- If you had existing presets, turn the new WINDOW parameter the whole way down to match the sound.
- If you had non-default start/end points, the preset sound may have changed.
- PA/UA apologize for the oversight on this one.
- Added Phase Stretch sample engine.
- Added the real Garbage-Fi sample engine.
- Drum triggers from MIDI Inputs now use sequencer step values.
- Add global option for mute behavior: Audio Mute (previous behavior: instantly mute/unmute track) or Trigger Mute (let drum finish ringing, prevent new triggers from triggering the drum).
- Add global option to reset sequencer lanes in TRIG or RETRIG mode when playback restarts or before renders.
- Add “Load Random Sample From Same Folder” to sample menu.
- Add “Clear All Sequencers” to the preset menu.
- Fix clicks/pops when opening the interface.
- Fix for crash on iOS when using MIDI notes to change presets.
- Fix for Probability parameter results getting stuck in loops.
- Fix for a rare sample rate issue that could make samples playback at fast rates in saved projects.
- Add new presets by Useful Noise, mleuc and Bank Tonsur.
Battalion 1.2 for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is a free update for existing users.
