Synesthesia Corporation

Synesthesia Corporation has released 50 Native Instruments Battery 3 presets for the Mandala 2.0, along with the HD Black Beauty Battery 3 Player for Mandala.

They are available now to anyone via free download.

The presets configure drum sampler Battery 3 for use with the Mandala, using only samples from the Battery 3 12GB library of more than 100 drum kits with more than 23,000 individual samples. The presets configure the Mandala pad as a straightforward MIDI controller.

The Battery 3 presets also:

• Assign samples in up to seven circular trigger zones across the Mandala pad.
• Extensively use the Mandala’s 128 circular strike zones to change triggering and effects parameters as drummers play, for true HD drumming.
• Cover playing styles from straightforward grooves to experimental sonics.

The HD Black Beauty Battery 3 Player for Mandala is designed to offer you an accurate digital representation of an acoustic drum, via 3,360 samples of a single vintage 1970s 5×14 Super Sensitive Ludwig Black Beauty Snare Drum. Read more…
