malletKAT Quick Start Guide
SPLIT MODE.
Like the word implies, you can split the keyboard so that you have one sound on the right
and one sound on the left.
The malletKAT does something a bit more interesting. It allows you to overlap your Split
points so that you can have a layered sound as well as split zones.
In order to make this work, you need first to be in CONTROLLER ONE. Then Step on the Edit
Footswitch and tap on the SPLIT pad (d natural, third from top). The malletKAT now asks
you to decide on the LOWEST note of the Split point for Controller One. This is the lowest
pad that will play the sound from Controller One. Tap on the pad, and release the Foot-
switch.
Now you need to switch to Controller Two. (step on Edit Footswitch and tap on the INC or
DEC pad). Let go.
Step on the Edit Footswitch again, and tap on the Split pad again. This time, tap on the pad
that will play the HIGHEST note for Controller Two. Let go.
As long as you set each of the Controllers to their own MIDI Channel and Program Num-
bers, the Split Point will now work.
LAYER MODE
When you Step on the Edit Footswitch and tap on the Layer Pad (e natural), both sounds
will play at the same time.
NORMAL OR DAMPEN MODE
Dampening is a special technique that vibe players use to dampen the sound of a bar by
pressing on the bar after the bar has been struck with the dampen pedal down.
The malletKAT can emulate this gesture simply by turning on DAMPEN Mode.
After you strike a pad with the sustain pedal down, you can dampen the sound by applying
pressure to that pad.
To Turn on DAMPEN Mode
Step on the Edit Footswitch
