Pick Battery 4 if…

Battery 4 suits producers who want a drum sampler on macOS or Windows, either standalone or inside a plug-in host. It is useful for working with mapped samples, round-robin playback, and varied imported formats.

Pick Dexed if…

Dexed suits musicians looking for a DX7-modeled synth or a MIDI cartridge librarian for the DX7. Its DAW automation, SysEx handling and MPE support may also suit users who want those specific capabilities.
