malletKAT Quick Start Guide
DEAD STROKE After you strike a note, you can get another sound from the same pad by
applying pressure to the pad.
You will learn more about Pressure Modes in the malletKAT manual.
INSTRUMENT NAMES / KIT NAMES / NONE
On the third line of the display, you can choose one of three options for what will be
displayed on that line. This option is decided in the GLOBAL AUX Screens, D natural, middle
octave. In the Factory Kits, Instrument Names are displayed.
INSTRUMENT NAMES
These are the General MIDI Program Names. In the Factory Kits, you cannot change
these names. The Instrument Names correspond to the Program Numbers that have been
assigned to them.
If you have a General MIDI sound module, the INSTRUMENT NAMES on the malletKAT
display will automatically correspond to the screen names and sounds of your synthesizer.
If you are using a non standard sound source, or a different sound bank on a GM
compatible synthesizer, the names will NOT correspond. You should then go to function
called BANK (Select F natural, lower octave) change Factory Kit to User Kits using the
Increment or Decrement Key
KIT NAMES
In the USER KITS on the malletKAT, you can choose to name your own kits. This is helpful
when creating a KIT that has combinations of sounds in them. This mode should be used if
you are using a sound source that is not GM compatible.
The KIT NAME is the same for BOTH CONTROLLERS. You can make your own Kit Names in
the KIT AUXILIARY Screens for your USER Kits. See the manual for details.
THE FOURTH LINE BANK, PROGRAM and VOLUME INFO
There is a lot of information packed into the fourth line of the display.
First, is the MSB, LSB Bank Change information. You will see a number like this: B 01-02.
The B stands for BANK, the first number 01 is the MSB number. The dash separates the
LSB number from the MSB. Bank Numbers are changed by going into the KIT AUXILIARY
Screens. Please refer to the manual for more details.
Following the Bank Number Display is the letter P followed by a number. This is the
PROGRAM CHANGE number. There are 127 Program Change numbers available, each
number representing a sound on your synthesizer.
