It's up to you how you want to set up the zones/midi channels.

I like to set up each pad to a single MIDI channel:

1. choose the mandala
2. choose the number of zones (i use 6)
3. set zone 1 to channel 1 and note 60 (which is C3, but it's up to
you which note you choose)
set zone 2 to channel 1 and note 61

Reading the forums, I think I have the basics, I'm assigning my
mandalas is battery, and clumisily being able to assign one zone per
cell through the vb. I'm confused about control burst, I thought one

Does anyone have real tama octoban samples? Is there any in battery?
One more question about battery, what is the limit to the samples you
can load into it? A sequence of notes?
Thanks

I'm using a D-Link powered 7-port hub now. I've had the problem before
the hub, but it has gotten worse with it.

Yet I still need the hub, because I don't have enough ports on my
notebook.

what kind of hub are you using? is it powered? if you can avoid any
hub at all you'd probably be better off...either by using actual usb
ports on your machine or getting a card with ports on it.

might be:

Basically my setup with the pads and Battery 3 on a Vista machine
works fine, but Battery sometimes "loses" the MIDI device during a

into my studio (shipping, tax, and so on...). I wanted to try the
thing out so badly that i bought a macbook pro (!), because i had
