Our only complaint with Battery is that it really can't do much without a sequencer or some other MIDI device to drive it. We liked the free-form envelope controls, which make it a snap to custom-tailor sounds to your specs. Other controls include tune, saturation, bit control, and hertz. Also included is a mapping editor for layering up to 128 sounds together. Each sample cell has an enormous amount of sound-tweaking flexibility, boasting tools such as compressors, multimode filters, LFO, customizable envelopes, and resampling effects. Once you load sound into the matrix-style interface, the fun begins. Built around a clean interface that has become the de facto standard for all products in Native Instruments' pro-audio line, Battery is approachable and simple to learn. His colleague at Vivid, Rese Boshoff, uses an iPad to trace and mark up initial designs, and the MacBook Pro M2 takes over for the heavy rendering.Combining the ease of use of a traditional drum machine with the sound- sculpting prowess of a sampler, Native Instruments Battery 2.0 is one of the best software-percussion tools available. Mudaly, who holds an honours and master’s degree in architecture from the University of Pretoria, is equally impressed with the seamless workflow of the Apple ecosystem. “I run it on the highest software settings in ultra resolution and I sense that material is real, even when you're doing timber flooring - you can see the grain when you're rendering. For candidate architect Yoshlan Mudaly, there's only one instrument that holds the power to make a building “sing”, whether it's an office, apartment block, hotel, safari lodge or a retail development.Īnd that is his MacBook Pro M2, built on the power of Apple's revolutionary silicon chip, which can handle the most intense processing demands with ease.īased at Vivid Architects in the heart of Cape Town, Mudaly says this includes a specialist visualisation app called Twinmotion, which he uses to bring computer-aided drawings to life - allowing him to walk through his progress in the finest, close-up detail.
