Using NI Battery inside Drum Racks

A tutorial on how to use Native Instruments' Battery inside a drum rack in Ableton Live, so it can be sequenced from the Push drum sequencer.

O man, you just made me soooo happy. I have never used battery just because when you drop it onto a midi track it's scipping notes.. now it plays all.. very thankful! (so I started following you Ninja!)

[@itsdjamyth]

GREAT!! Thank you

[@SHUSHIchannel]

Wow!

[@ajn2747]

Very useful hint with the I/O > Receive All setting. Is there a way to assign each sound in Battery's kits to corresponding cells in Drum Rack? I want to take advantage of Live's MIDI editing capabilities. Cheers.

[@Jorge.O85]

Thank u very much 😊!! 👍

[@niklassilen4313]

Any idea how to get the pad colors working? It says I can't color empty drum rack slots.. but they ain't technically "empty". Or is the only workaround to add dummy samples?

[@TranSound7]

Good jobbie.

[@TheSoulViolinist]

Ditto everyone else. Just what I wanted to do. Thanks!

[@pyulze]

thank you

[@Thebadmansmileydan]

is there then a way to put sounds into individual tracks? Ie. snare and kick for separate mixing? do i have to assign each sound separately?

[@snailxray3319]

Merci !

[@PilferMusic]

I get to the point where I drop Battery into the drum rack... but then I can't hear it when I trigger the track. Any helpful ideas? Other tracks play fine. Midi is arriving unobstructed... I'm stuck

[@PilferMusic]

oddly enough... my rack, as it was initialized, was turned off. So once I "powered" on the rack (little button upper left of the rack) all was good.

[@TeleporterM11]

How old is this technique. Does anyone know.

[@seanpeterson3191]

I thought I was gonna ditch the push and grab mk2........shooooh!!
