Battalion by Unfiltered Audio — iPad Drum Machine, Sampler, and Sequencer Deep-Dive
In this video, I take Battalion for a spin on iPad and shows how it turns into a standalone, performance-ready drum machine — bordering on a full Groovebox. You’ll see how to build kits from the ground up, blend synthesis with sampling, program evolving patterns, and perform with macro controls. It runs on Windows, Mac, and iOS, and also works as a plugin in your DAW, but the focus here is the iPad standalone workflow.
