malletKAT Quick Start Guide
SETUPS
VRS PROGRAMS or SOUNDS
Understanding the difference between a Setup, Program or Sound can be confusing.
Often when thinking about calling up a specific sound,what’s really wanted is a particular
Setup.
Any sound that you hear on the malletKAT is really some Program Number. There are over
1000 sounds or Programs in the malletKAT. Each sound gets its own program number as-
signment. MIDI has 127 programs in a bank. So to get at all of the different sounds in the
malletKAT means to know the Bank Number and Program Number.
A Setup in the malletKAT stores the Bank and Program Number you want as well as the
octave setting, the gate time setting, the velocity setting, the kit name and other goodies.
Because the malletKAT has TWO Controllers, the Setup also stores the same parameters
just mentioned for Controller Two as well.
So when you call up a SETUP on the malletKAT, you are calling up a collection of param-
eters that make up the total sound. There are 127 USER SETUPS, also called KITS. In the
User Kits, you can store your own collections of sounds and settings.
When you are in PLAY mode, (when you are just playing), you can change the SETUP by
tapping on the Forward or Backward pads. Each time you do that, you will notice the the
Setup (USER KIT NUMBER) changes.
It is also possible to JUMP to any SETUP number without using the Forward or Backward
Keys.
Step on the Kit Edit Footswitch and Hold it Down
tap on the SETUP pad (c natural, 2nd from top).
Now use the “black keys” to enter in a number.
