NATIVE INSTRUMENTS BATTERY 2 is the new generation of the award-winning drum sampler. BATTERY 2 takes drum sampling to the next level with a powerful new sampling engine, enhanced sound shaping and modulation capabilities, sophisticated sample control and a revised user interface that retains all of the straightforwardness that BATTERY is famous for. Also included is a massive new sample library with more than 3.5 GB of high-quality drum and percussion samples.

Optimized for today’s complex drum kits and large sample sizes, the new sampling engine of BATTERY 2 offers features like 256 voice polyphony and support for hard disk streaming. Creative possibilities for both studio and live use are enhanced considerably through a host of new sampling features, including polyphonic voice groups with overlap, release trigger, advanced "cell activation" options and a new visual mapping editor.
