i think Battery downgraded from v3 to v4 but i haven't noticed much problem using Battery 3 kits in Battery 4 which i do most of the time i use Battery.

That sounds about right. IIRC, NI removed a bunch of B3 features from B4. I can't remember the exact reason for it, but there are (or where) threads about. Check the old NI archived forums.

I wonder- was there reason for it? just seems like substandard engineering. two changes that i still remember (and keep me using Battery 3) the pitch and volume envelopes are overlaid on the waveform view in B3 but no longer in B4. Someone actually planned that? i doubt it. B3 has four controls in the humanize section, B4 has two. now that i can see some people thinking is an improvement in the rush to simplify (dumb down making it more accessable and more sellable) but it wasn't for me. oh, and they removed a bunch of kits in B4 (improvement? nah)

hmmm sounds really like a downgrade, but some examples ONLY use pure samples where i didnt used special internal effects :/

Some sample playback modes were removed in v4. They definitely some strange choices made when developing v4.
