Hello, can I just ask again if there is going to be an additional Black Friday sale on this, or whether the already discounted price is ‘the price’ for the rest of the month?

The iOS version is on sale until 2026 (no further drops). I’m not publicly allowed to comment on Plugin Alliance’s sale plans.
OK, thanks. I have the iOS version already and love it, so am going to buy the Mac version too. I’ll hang around until next week to see if there is a further sale, and if not I’ll just buy anyway!
When I first looked at the App Store when becoming aware of the app, I saw the $40 price tag and said ‘you’re crazy!’
Then it went on sale for $30 and I said ‘not too crazy though…’ and I bought it.
Well, I am now the proud owner of Mac Battalion, which joins the iOS version I already own. I’m massively looking forward to the patterns functionality when that starts hitting beta, as it will be the missing link in what is already an incredible drum machine.

This is working for me now! Thanks very much!
Battalion is now far more expressive… can play it from e-drums and it’s so much more fun now!
If possible at some point please, could we have Battalion remember which drum it was last on.
Eg, you’re editing drum 3. You close the DAW. Reload the project. Battalion is still showing drum 3.
This would be a time saver cos at the moment I have to select all 8 to the right drum when I open my projects!

One more feature request please 
This one I want more than any of the other ones:
Select a kit remotely via Program Change message
Maybe we can have a folder ‘MIDI Presets’. Can save up to 128 kits in there. Then sending a PC message to Battalion selects the relevant kit?
Cheers for all the hard work!

Guess this is a first fix, but, would it be possible without extreme amounts of work to have that selectable per instance (or even better, per channel) instead? I can see per-instance select of sequencer-affecting-incoming-notes to be good enough (even though not optimal), but not being able to have two battalions, one set for sequencer and one for midi response for say pitched midi playing, is a bit of a bummer. And, having to change a global setting means it messes up project load if I have one project using internal sequencer and another using midi notes for pitch/velocity. Then I have to remember what it should be set to for each project loaded.
Is there a midi mapping option on the IOS standalone version? I usually just use it with Aum which I can then see exposed parameters.
Hey everyone! Been a minute… haha
Loving how active the thread is… seems like Battalion is really clicking with people big time 
Figured I’d share a bit out of a larger project I’m preparing for an installation I’m doing in a few days. There will be a couple other artists all exploring some element of experimental/contemporary sound. For my project I created a version of my main rig designed to interface with an external UI running on an iPad. I might post some videos of the full rig once everything is set up.
Cool thing about the whole project is all the sound apart from a few tiny home-made fm modules (not present in the video) is coming from Battalion and being processed by exclusively by UA plugins, specifically SpecOps and SandmanPro.
I’ll share a longer version in case anyone is interested 
I’m still surprised at what Battalion can do and I’ve been using it every single day for months now. MaxMsp ft. Battalion
