malletKAT Quick Start Guide
WHAT is the DISPLAY SAYING?
There are four lines of text on the display. The display changes it’s look as different
features are called up. Let’s begin with the first Line
KIT NUMBERS
The very first character on Line one will either be:
F followed by a number. Example F 01 meaning Factory Kit 1 or
U followed by a number. Example U 89 meaning User Kit 89 or
C followed by a group of numbers. Example. C02-12 Meaning Chain Two, Setup 12.
The F stands for FACTORY KITS. There are 128 Factory Kits that are in the malletKAT. These
KITs are stored in memory and can’t be over-written. This means that any changes that
you make to the FACTORY Kits are gone as soon as you leave the KIT. If you want to make
permanent changes to a FACTORY Kit, then you will need to save them in a USER KIT.
If you see a U followed by a number on the first line, then you are in the USER KITS. There
are also 128 USER KITS in the malletKAT. Here you can name your own kits, change any
parameter and have them stored into permanent memory. If you see a number looking like
C01-01, then you are in CHAIN MODE. CHAIN MODE allows you to arrange your KITS in a
non-contiguous fashion. You can store 16 Chains, each having the ability to arrange 16
KITS in each Chain.
CHANGING KITS
You can change KITS at any time by using the Backward /Forward Pads, the little pads on
the right side of malletKAT by striking the pad twice.
CHANGING KIT BANKS (FACTORY, USER and CHAIN)
You can jump between these three modes by holding down the EDIT FOOTSTWITCH and
hitting F Natural (lowest octave). It says KIT BANK under the pad. Use the DECrement,
INCrement pads (C# and D# on the Master Octave) to change modes.
There are several other ways to change kits. For more information regarding KITs and
CHAINs, refer to the Index in the manual for specific pages on these subjects.
LAYER MODE
Immediately following the KIT NUMBER, you will see on the first line of the display one of
the following LAYER MODES on the screen.
