New in 3.1.1
It incorporates the "vintage sound emulation" technology from Maschine 1.5, a feature that emulates the gritty sonic signatures of the classic MPC-60 and SP-1200 drum machines through sophisticated component modeling. A new right-click MIDI Learn function also makes it even easier to assign the sound parameters of a Battery kit to a hardware controller, while added multi-processor support now allows Battery to utilize the capabilities of modern multi-core processors more effectively.
Other enhancements in Battery 3.1.1 include full Mac OS X 64-bit support, improved sample relocation, more flexible loading functions, and various minor optimizations.
