Notice how all drums played through battery are showing up in Logic Pro's arrange window instead of in the plugin window... It just makes song arranging a lot more convenient especially since these DAW's like Pro Tools and Logic have a lot more editing capabilities arranging songs than MP's song mode.
Is Battery a sequencer, or just a software sampler plugin?
With Battery, aren't you sequencing the sounds from the DAW, all the time, not from the plugin?
With MPC Software, you are sequencing the sounds from sequencer tracks within the plugin, you don't have the sequence in a DAW MIDI track from the start, as you do with a 'normal' software sampler plugin.
MPC Software is a sequencer, a sampler, and a VST host, within a plugin, it is a lot different to just a software sampler plugin being sequenced from a DAW MIDI track.
You could possibly use MPC Elements as a sampler plugin, being sequenced from a DAW MIDI track, if that is what you want.
