Why This Bundle?

Use Battalion’s extensive synthesis engines, sequencing capabilities, and massive sample library to create the perfect drum foundation—then run it through Needlepoint’s deeply modeled vinyl environment. Add subtle hiss, crackle, and warmth or push into broken, warped territory. It’s the ultimate toolset for giving your drums that timeless, sampled-from-wax vibe without needing a record player.

Battalion: Explosive Drum Machine

Battalion combines software depth with hardware-style playability. It offers eight drum voices, each switchable between synthesizer engines and sample playback. Over twenty synthesis types (FM, Additive, Modal, VOSIM, and more) and multiple sample manipulation techniques (granular, phase distortion, spectral cloning) provide enormous sonic variety. Shape your drums further with eight mappable modulation sources per voice, built-in Headspace Reverb and Shatter Delay, and a 3-Band Maximizer.

The powerful sequencer features polymetric and polyrhythmic manipulation, algorithmic pattern generation, randomization options, and a Variation Engine for natural or completely generative patterns. Battalion is designed to perform—from the studio to the stage—with a graphic interface that encourages creativity.

Needlepoint: Authentic Vinyl and Beyond

Needlepoint uses physical modeling to generate dust, scratches, and warping as if your audio was pressed onto a record. Control turntable speeds (even sync to your DAW), adjust WOW and FLUTTER, and engage BROKEN mode for glitchy loops and stutters. SPINDOWN recreates classic turntable start/stop effects, while the single-knob compressor and granular pitch shifting give you even more tonal shaping possibilities. Go subtle or extreme—Needlepoint adds the genuine character of vinyl to your drums.

Needlepoint Key Features
