    hi i just recently installed the new patch (4.1.2) for battery 4 did the batch save and was able to use older version(battery 2 and 3 kits) BUT!!!!!!
    everytime i open the plugin(battery 4), either standalone or in cubase it automatically loads the last kit i loaded!??!?!?! to wichever instance of battery 4 i open after that!?!?

    this means..... lets imagine im working on a track and i pick/load any given kit (lets called it "bugged out kit").... now i open another battery 4.... that "bugged out kit" loads in there.... i change/create another kit (percursion kit) adjust it all to my like and close battery, do some midi editing.......................... open battery 4 to tweak it and....... it reloads instantly the "bugged out kit" :angry:?!?!?!?
    if i open an old project with "random kit", i open battery plugin and..... it loads that "bugged out kit" instantly :confused:.... is there a fix for this?????

    i do 90% of my drums in battery, HELP!

    i tried changing the loading option in preferences.... battery4 still bugs on this
    reinstalled battery 4(original without patches) and it fixes it but now i need to reinstall battery 3 library because i didnt do a backup...

    no i havent, still working with support

    The fix i did was.... uninstall battery 4 (vst only) and reinstall original and just do library patch 101 lol [all works fine now :)]

    i also had to do an reinstall of battery 3 library too since i didnt do a backup of original before batch saving :( lesson learned i hope

    i do work on PC with cubase 7.5

    HEllo, so just to be assure... another plugin wasnt working properlly recently until i downloaded cubase 7.5.1 patch (had 7.5 previously)

    so i re downloaded the battery 4.1.2 file and installed it and... MAGIC it works fine!

    last time i did install from NI update service program, this time i just did download and installed it manually

    im not sure what happened (cubase or NI problem) because the problem also occured in standalone version

    anyway its fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) and i do notice that the last kit loaded is always selected when i open a battery 4 plugin so my guess is somehow instead of just showing it selected in browser, it actually loaded that (browser) selected kit too


    hope this helps :)

    Same problem here. Even after reinstalling the update. I'm using Logic Pro 9. Any fix for this?

    Hey having the same issue on my end. I use Cubase 7.5 on a Macbook Pro. I have discovered a way around the issue temporarily. I noticed that if I load Battery as a track instrument it gives me the issues your all experiencing. When I load it as a rack instrument I no longer have reloading sound problems. I know this is happening to people using different DAW's but for Cubase users this may help.

    Hoping NI can get to the bottom of this soon, I'm neck deep in deadlines and could really use the support.

    i have the same problem. macbook pro osx 10.8.5 / logic pro x 10.0.6
    this is very annoying.
    i really cant work like this, every time i open a battery track in logic it loads a new kit and all my work is lost!

    Same issue here. Happens not only with kits, but individual sounds. Wht ever you loaded last, gets replaced when reopening the plugin

    After i read this, i tried to repro this issue, and couldn't.
    I did notice after some tinkering, that this problem only happens when the circle-arrow tab is 'clicked-on'. When i turned this tab of, i noticed that the problem stopped.. i think that this tab is meant to be some kind of auto-load. Anyway, i tested this out on my studio computer & my laptop at home, and i found that the re-loading problem never happens, as long as that tab is un-clicked. I hope this helps you out with the problem you're having.

    Good find.

    The Battery 4 manual says that button is to enable looping when previewing loops in the browser. It doesn't actually do that, though, obviously. The real purpose the button seems to have is to automatically replace the sample in the currently selected cell in your kit when you browse through samples in the browser.

    One side effect I discovered of the button is that when it's enabled, if you hide and then re-show the Battery plugin UI, Battery will replace the top-left cell with whatever sample happens to be highlighted in the browser.

    And you just found another side effect! :thumbsup:
