Does anyone know where I can find one for Battery 3 or Kontakt 2?
I'm having an awful time trying to sort out how to do anything with them in Ableton... :(
Edit: To clarify, I understand how to load samples into the banks in Battery, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them to play. I'm just trying to create drum loops from samples, and all I've got is Battery, Kontakt, and Ableton. |

do you have a keyboard to play it on ??? if not:
in the channel you put battery to create a midi clip double click it and i believe the top most row will correspond to c0 or c1 row in the clip |

Ok, I've got that to work for one beat, but then do I just assign each clip to a different row to sequence full drums? |

The top left block in Battery maps to C1, and moving sequentially from left to right, top to bottom, each successive cell is triggered by the next note (C#1, D1, etc.). 12 cells in each row, 12 notes in each octave.
When you talk about "clips", I'm not really sure what you mean, but if you're actually sticking loops into each cell, you should know that Battery isn't really designed for that, it's designed to be used as a drum machine using one-shot samples. Not that you can't use it at all for loop manipulation, but well, there are better tools...
In Kontakt or any other "full" sampler, you have to actually assign the specific MIDI notes yourself. |

Your description makes complete sense - and I'm definitely only loading one off samples, not loops, into the kits, so I think I'm very much good to go now!
Thanks a ton man! :) |

i don't know when you bought battery or kontakt but they now ship(i think as of december ) with a dvd in each box of video tutorials. HIGHLY recommend NI's DVD stuff, it's only like $50 and well worth the buy.
Battery just had an update to the driver patch, i don't know if you can get the video that ships with the box on there. check it out though |
