"Battery 3 is undoubtedly an exciting update... just glancing through the 12 GB sound library provides some indication of Native Instruments' eclectic tastes. Couple these sounds with such an intuitive, flexible interface and a whole host of sound-processing features, and you have a package that's hard to beat."

"It's a definite must-upgrade for Battery 1 or 2 owners, and pretty much an essential buy for everyone else."

"The layout revamp in Battery 3 will have fans of the series very satisfied... Everything in Battery 3 now looks sharper, cooler and a whole lot easier on the eye... It adds enough new features to justify owning it alongside powerful samplers like Kontakt 2, but significantly it doesn't mess with the core concept that's so integral to its success. This is the Battery we all know and love... supercharged!"
