Oh wow, really! I mean, I’m grateful for the giveaway, but Battery is probably not what I’m going to be using a lot 
I can see the thick layer of digital dust on it, it’s surprising it even runs on a modern OS.
Is there anyone who has used it in its heyday? What are some of its strengths? What can it be used for in 2025?
It still requires Rosetta to install on the latest MacOS systems: What’s eating Native Instruments? - #348 by inmazevo
Battery was a beast at the time because it could do everything people did on MPCs plus far more. It was especially good at drum layering. Now it is very dated and not really an option for me at least. I will say that Kontakt is still probably one of the best samplers in the game.
The deal is over. Of course they never sent me anything lol.
@alexwasashrimp There are tons of people selling their unwanted freebie Komplete Select serial numbers on KVR, or even giving them away in some cases.
I’ve more or less given up on NI (we don’t need to go into it, same reasons as everyone else) but I wanted Massive X for cheap and I think I bought a Komplete Select Electronic serial off someone there for $7.
It was not Komplete Select serial sent from Sweatwater but discount code which zeros out your purchase on NI site when you add it to cart.
I found mine in inbox SPAM folder.
I had no problem getting 2 different codes with different emails and automatically generated addresses and phone numbers.
FFS you get Tootsie Rolls?! It’s all I ever want in my Sweetwater box but I end up with a lump of coal and a handful of old rock hard root beer barrels.

Ok It has been a while on the Tootsie Rolls. But I did just very recently get some Bit-O-Honey.
Anyone else getting pretty heavy GUI lag with this one? MBP 14" ere’
Yes! It’s super laggy and annihilates the CPU when the GUI is visible on my M1 Max 16”. Shame as it looks pretty but feels quite unstable, also I have no idea how the GUI works

Can’t try the demo again as probably already tested years and years ago and forgot it…
Anyone that use it or tried with any opinion?
Oh I remember quite liking this when I trialled it but not enough to buy it. I do feel like there’s a lack of decent software drum synths with “not too advanced” interfaces (like, macro controls rather than detailed control over envelopes etc) but still a reasonable range of sounds so I’m tempted. Will have to see if I can trial again or not, sounds like probably not based on your feedback!
Those two are absolutely amazing
It’s a great drum synth - possibly one of the chunkiest analog sounding drum synths. Be aware that it doesn’t have a sequencer built in, so you’ll need a 3rd party midi drum sequencer to trigger it. It can sound like a classic analog x0x box, but can also do very distorted creative stuff.
Thanks, think you sold me on it! TBH I’d usually rather sequence with Ableton than an internal sequencer anyway
Yep, I’ve checked the Ilok account and found an hidden entry, so that’s the issue.
Yes, it could be an advantage from a certain perspective, I think that the Ableton piano roll or eventually some M4L sequencer will be enough.
