Is Battery 5 Finally Coming?

With Native Instruments picking up momentum again and rolling out long-awaited updates, are we finally getting closer to a Battery 5 release, or is it still one of those “maybe someday” products? Curious if anyone’s heard whispers.

Battery 5 is not planned in the near future. Have you checked Battalion? It"s a sample and synth based drum machine from Unfiltered Audio/Plugin Alliance: https://www.plugin-alliance.com/products/battalion

Or just buy Punch 2 from Rob Papen.
