What's New in Battalion

1.2.0

March 17, 2026

1.2.0 (02/24/2026) - Re-introduced iPhone version! This version is primarily intended for opening presets and projects on the go. - The "Garbage-Fi" sample engine released on iOS was incorrectly an alpha slicing engine. This release fixes that engine (now called Phase Slice). This engine *mostly* works the same, but we fixed the slice start/end behavior with the intended design. If you had existing presets, turn the new WINDOW parameter the whole way down to match the sound. If you had non-default start/end points, the preset sound may have changed. We apologize for the oversight on this one. - Added Phase Stretch sample engine. - Added the real Garbage-Fi sample engine. - Drum triggers from MIDI Inputs now use sequencer step values. - Add global option for mute behavior: Audio Mute (previous behavior: instantly mute/unmute track) or Trigger Mute (let drum finish ringing, prevent new triggers from triggering the drum). - Add global option to reset sequencer lanes in TRIG or RETRIG mode when playback restarts or before renders. - Add "Load Random Sample From Same Folder" to sample menu. - Add "Clear All Sequencers" to the preset menu. - Fix clicks/pops when opening the interface. - Fix for crash on iOS when using MIDI notes to change presets. - Fix for Probability parameter results getting stuck in loops. - Fix for a rare sample rate issue that could make samples playback at fast rates in saved projects.

Unable to load user content in AUM

Working fine in standalone - I’m able to load custom presets and imported user samples, but I get an error when I try to load a user preset in AUM, and it completely freezes up attempting to load an imported user sample.

Pretty much unusable, please fix.

More patterns please

Who over there thought “hey let’s make a great drum machine app that plays only one pattern” was a good idea?

Great but…

It would be nice to have a least two normal sounding drum kits…I mean I get that its groundbreaking as far as sound designing and synthetic drums….but a few basic bread and butter patches would be helpful……
And there should be a way to make other alternative variation sequences NOT just one sequence that shifts and changes randomly ………also they put the randomize dice button way too close to the browse buttons

Absolutely Astounding! Please fix the UI ratio for iPhone.

The sounds this thing can make are unlike any other drum synth! Worth every penny! Please make a physical unit one day! It’d be the physical drum machine from my dreams! I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Please please change the UI scale on iPhone Pro max and make use of the large screen. When it’s in a smaller window ratio, it’s harder than it needs to be to tweak parameters.
