but can also be assigned to the SAME program patch with one controller transposed.
To learn how to configure these two separate controllers, refer to the section Setting Up The
Controllers(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#setting-up-the-controllers)
To make it easier to sustain notes properly between the two layers, you may need to assign the sustain pedals to
work with either or both layers simultaneously. To read more on this, refer to the section Setting Up the Sustain
Pedal Inputs(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#setting-up-the-pedal-inputs)

5.3.1. Hang Mode
In HANG MODE, when you are playing on the malletKAT, you will hear the sounds being controlled by Controller

To use Controller Two not as an instrument, but a MIDI controller for another device. For example, to
toggle loops on and off
You can set your User Setup for HANG mode by stepping on the EDIT footswitch, and while held down, tap

There is a special HANG mode function built into Controller Two called “INFINITE Gate“. The gate time for
Controller Two can be set to INFINITE, meaning that when a note or chord is played with Sustain Pedal 2 down, it
will continue to sustain even after Sustain 2 has been released and will continue until the Sustain Two pedal is
pressed again. This is the original meaning of the word “HANG”. For more on setting gate times for your
