Native Instruments Battery

[supernova777]

ok im having trouble uploading to adrive for some reason so i will up to mediafire 30min to upload? ugh
586mb

[Philgood]

ive attached the battery demo for mac os 9
that came on the digital performer 3 cd (2001? i think?)

I'm having problems with this file. It doesn't decode with Stuffit Expander (v6, the one that comes with MacOS9.2.2).

I'll try with the v7 from the forum downloads.

Update:
The demo installer file seems to be corrupt. Including the v7 of StuffIt Expander doesn't want to decode it and is returning an error.
I'll see if i can upload another demo installer as i'm remembering that i saw one on the FM7 CD.

[Philgood]

Yes. I installed a demo version of Battery from the FM7 CD but it was a no-go.

Limitations of the Demo version

The Demo is identical to the full version except for the following restrictions:

*   The DEMO version only supports VST. The retail version includes a standalone version which also supports SoundManager, ASIO, DirectConnect, and MAS.
*   Only the included kits can be loaded. Because of the download size we could not provide a kit where several velocity layers are used.The full version contains a CD-ROM of over 20 high quality drumkits. Some of them are about 100 MB large and use a lot of velocity layers for every drumsound.


*   You cannot load any kits apart from the demo kits and you cannot load any additional .wav or .aif files. The import of Akai-CDs, Soundfonts and LM4 kits is possible, but the samples will contain a high frequency interrupt noise after import.


*   The overall volume will fade to zero after 12 minutes.


*   From time to time short bleeps will be played.


*   Save, Drag and Drop, Copy and Paste is not possible.

Damn. It can't load any kits apart from the 2 included in the demo version...

ahh ok well that rules out that solution
the demo seems pretty useless for actual production
time for plan b

http://www.mediafire.com/download/272pntbqzjnvgx5/Battery1Kits.img.bin

heres the version of the kits that i have
try these out and see if its the same error

if its still erroring out then we can assume its a problem with that copy of battery v1 thats to blame

dunno why its not showing the .bin extension but i uploaded this as a .img.bin

[supernova777]

Any way those kits can be used with NI Kontakt without any problem (I've tested it).

i missed this comment, perhaps we should just be using kontakt?
i think im going to have to give up on this battery version.. it doesnt work
its a peice of crap.... no matter what theres always problems..
with both the standalone + the vst.

but which version of kontakt works for vst?

[supernova777]

im sad to say i think we have to forget about using this software.
this version that we have is screwed up bigtime.
lets save ourselves sometime and just stop trying to use it.. because its screwed up
this really sucks tho ive always wanted to have a good copy of this
and i guess i will have to use it on osx instead

[supernova777]

images of the error that u get when trying to load a kit

[MacTron]

but which version of kontakt works for vst?

Any.

[supernova777]

u told me that liberated only worked in standalone mode not for vst
we need to add a warning disclaimer to the download for battery stating that it may not function 100%
its not fair to have htis posted and have people download and have problems

[Philgood]

I just installed it. I didn't used the liberated version. i used the included keygen in my windows computer which is for version 2 but the registration tool
accepted the response code so it's working here as vst in cubase. it is loading fine everything by now!

[supernova777]

yes i installed kontakt too.. forget this wack version of battery untill we can find a proper original battery disc
this one is not going to cut it..
kontakt can load the battery kits like mactron said!

its a shame because i really wanted to be able to use the row/colum mutes/solos 
abilities in battery. i would really like it if we could find a better install of this!

[MacTron]

i would really like it if we could find a better install of this!

Here you have a NI Battery update...
I don't know if it works.

[supernova777]

the update appears to have worked but now its asking for a serial number
does anyone have a serial for Battery v1.0 or v1.01?

[supernova777]

I just installed it. I didn't used the liberated version. i used the included keygen in my windows computer which is for version 2 but the registration tool
accepted the response code so it's working here as vst in cubase. it is loading fine everything by now!

wait are u talking about using the h20 battery v2.0 keygen for battery v1.0 on mac?
u have battery v1.0 mac loading kits ok??? or do you mean that u installed kontakt  and kontakt is loading kits fine?

[supernova777]

ok i found the h20 keygen (pc rar + exe)

[supernova777]

OK OK OK it gets better
i found this
Native.Instruments.All.Products.Keymaker.v1.3-OxYGeN dated 11-09-02 
and the code this made worked!!

Code: [Select]

251-22807-89303this thing generates any serial numbers for
-reaktor
-traktor dj mixer
-battery
-spektral delay
-absynth
-dynamo
-transformator
-generator
-fm7
-kontakt
-pro-53

BUT NOW

[supernova777]

also this technote
http://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/installed-battery-not-able-load-kits/
seems to be describing the same problem but the wordign suggests its talking about using battery on osx
but still perhaps this is a clue to our kit loading problem? file permissions?
is there file permissions in os9?  i was thinking it was text file encoding not being in UTF8

[supernova777]

great - the first time i ran the battery v1.01 update it worked fine..
now.. it doesnt want to run! it says it cant find the install.. I have no idea how to fix this now

[Philgood]

I just installed it. I didn't used the liberated version. i used the included keygen in my windows computer which is for version 2 but the registration tool
accepted the response code so it's working here as vst in cubase. it is loading fine everything by now!

wait are u talking about using the h20 battery v2.0 keygen for battery v1.0 on mac?
u have battery v1.0 mac loading kits ok??? or do you mean that u installed kontakt  and kontakt is loading kits fine?

Right Chris. I meant that i installed finally Kontakt and that it's loading fine the battery kits.
