malletKAT Quick Start Guide
sets the volume range of the sound, and stores that value in the SETUP.
To store a value, Step on and hold down the KIT Edit Footswitch. Now tap on the high B
natural pad. Use the INC or DEC pads to set the KIT volume.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EXPRESS
and other malletKATs
All of the malletKATs regardless of size have the same functions.
The malletKAT Express is different only from the fact the certain functions reside on the 3rd
octave that doesn’t exist on the Express.
You may recall that when the Edit Footswitch is held down, all of the white keys are as-
signed to do certain functions.
On the Express, we need to “trick” the malletKAT in order to get at these functions. When
you step on the Edit Footswitch AND the Sustain Footswitch
at the same time and then tap on any of the second octave’s white keys, the Express thinks
you are tapping on the third octave. That’s all there is to it!
On larger malletKAT’s, the “black” pads allow you to get at numbers from 1-10. This is not
possible on a two octave Express. If an octave Expander is attached to the Express, then
the number keys come right back to life.
Also, note that the Express can only be expanded up to 4 octaves total. On the malletKAT
Pro and Grand, they can go up to 5 octaves in length.
Besides these particularities, all of the performance features are the same.
DON’T HEAR ANY SOUNDS
There are several reasons why you might not hear sounds on the malletKAT 7KS.
The very first thing to try is to make sure that the volume is up. There are two buttons in
front of the instrument. Look for the up arrow and press on the button for several seconds.
