malletKAT Quick Start Guide
Tap on the F natural pad (3rd from top). It says BANK.
When you tap on the F natural pad, you will see that you have either selected FACTORY
KITS, USER KITS or CHAINs. You can change what group of Kits you want by tapping on the
INCrement D# or DECrement C# pads.
CHANGE SOUNDS
Getting at Different Instrument Sounds
The simplest way to change a sound on the malletKAT is to tap on the Forward or Back-
ward key twice. After the second hit, each subsequent hit increments or decrements
through the 127 User Kits.
The 127 User Kits are preset for you. There is no programming required. Just play through
them all. Eventually you will want to change the order of the sounds. That’s where the
CHAINS come in.
A User Kit is really a SETUP. In a setup you tell the malletKAT what sound you want, what
octave range, the name of the setup, etc etc. Changing these things is what we call pro-
gramming the malletKAT. Here we are just playing with the sounds.
Just so that you know, there are over 1000 sounds in the instrument. The malletKAT 7KS is
ready to grow with you when you want to do fancy things like layering, splitting, etc.
There is a shortcut to get at a particular Setup or USER Kit. Let’s say that you are on User
Kit 5 and you want to go to Kit 75. Getting there the way just described would mean tap-
ping on that Forward pad 70 times! Here’s the shortcut:
Step on the Edit Footswitch and hold it down...
While held down tap on the SETUP pad (second highest C natural)
Now use the number pads (the “black” keys) to get to Kit 75
Tap on pads D# and and A#.... Let Go
