Mel2 = Melody Chord Mode 2
Mel3= Melody Chord Mode 3
VEL S = Velocity Shift Mode

Layer Modes tell the malletKAT how to control its sound layers. These layers are called
CONTROLLER ONE AND CONTROLLER TWO. These Layers can be total independent,
layered, velocity shifted, alternated or used as a controller function.
Below is a one sentence explanation of the Layer Modes.
HANG. When you step on Sustain Foot switch 2, you will either hear another sound, or the
same sound in a different octave.
DOUBLE. This means that you are either hearing two different sounds at the same time or
you are hearing the same sound in octaves.
VelShift. There are two sounds available, and how hard you play determines which sound
you are going to hear.
ALT. Two sounds alternate every time you hit the same pad.
The malletKAT is really TWO CONTROLLERS, (actually three, but more on that in the full
manual). You can control them independently or they can function as one. If you are
pressing on Sustain Footswitch 1, and you are in Hang Mode, you are using Controller One.
When you step on the Sustain Footswitch 2, Controller number 2 is active. When you first
step on the EDIT Footswitch, the malletKAT tells you if you are editing Controller One or
Two.
CONTROLLER ONE and TWO CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
On the second line of the Display, you will see the word “Controller” followed by 1 or 2.
Whenever you edit the malletKAT, you will need to know what layer you are working on.
You can change what Controller you are using by stepping on the EDIT Footswitch , and
while held down, tap the INC or DEC pads (C#-D# keys on the highest octave). The display
will show the 1 or 2 Controller.
