malletKAT Quick Start Guide
have their own dedicated sustain footswitch.
In order to make your own two sounds play on a kit, you have to know a little bit about
programming. The actual manual goes into detail on how to do this, but here is the nutshell
of information needed to make this work.
Step on the Edit Footswitch.
While Held down, tap on the C# DEC or D# INC pad. Each tap toggles between Controller
One and Two. You can only edit one Controller’s information at a time.
In order to get two different sounds,
Each Controller MUST be on its own MIDI channel.
Each Controller MUST have its own BANK and Program Assignment.
Then you must decide if you want to be in HANG Mode, LAYER Mode or SPLIT Mode
Finally, you will need to adjust the GATE TIMES, OCTAVE and Velocity Settings.
HANG / SPLIT / LAYER
MODES of PLAYING
The malletKAT has Two Controllers built in, each capable of making their own sound. There
are three basic ways of using these sounds.
HANG MODE.
In this mode, when using the Sustain 1 Footswitch, you are playing Controller One. When
the Sustain 2 Footswitch is held down, the malletKAT plays Controller Two’s sound. Why
the word “hang”? It is possible to set Controller’s Two sound to play “INFINITE” gate time.
When the Gate time is set to infinite, the sound hangs on and plays until you step on the
Sustain 2 Footswitch a second time. This means that you can create a pad underneath your
normal playing by having chords sustain when playing your main sound.
To Set the malletKAT to HANG MODE, step on the Edit Footswitch and tap on the HANG (c
natural, third from top) pad.
