(See Section 7.1(https://www.alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#editing-functions-pad-shortcuts)
)
MIDI Volume refers to the volume setting of the sound patch (Program) you are using. This volume setting is sent
out to external modules or the internal sound card in the first moment of changing to that particular User Setup.
To change the MIDI Volume of either Controller 1 or Controller 2, use the Edit footswitch and VOLUME pad
shortcut (B natural)
This Volume control setting is sent out immediately after the user kit is selected MIDI Volume can also be
adjusted during performance with a Controller Pedal. This can be found in the section Using the Foot Controller
Inputs(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#using-the-foot-controller-inputs)
4.9. Adjusting Note Sustain (Gate Time)

)
Proper control over gate times is essential in creating expressive nuances in your playing without melody notes
being too short or “choppy” sounding, or too long and bleeding into each other.
To learn more about how the malletKAT uses Gate Times, please refer to the section Working With Gate
Settings(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#working-with-gate-settings)
4.10. How to Create a Chain
A CHAIN allows you to arrange User Setups (Kits) in any order. This function is very useful in live situations
because you can organize in advance what sounds you might need in a song or performance without having to
step through all of the User Setups you do not need. You can either step through the Chain’s Steps by hitting the
FORWARD or BACKWARD function pads, or you can attach a footswitich to one of the two Foot Controller inputs
and configure it to step through the chain. Refer to the section Using the Foot Controller
Inputs(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#using-the-foot-controller-inputs)
for more information.
There are 16 Chains in total. Each Chain can have up to 16 User Setups. You can also link Chains together or set
up a Chain as a Loop.
