malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
LAYERED MODE. As soon as a single note is played, only Controller One will play.
MODE THREE: MEL3
When a chord is detected, the highest note of the chord will be played on Controller One. All subsequent notes of
the chord will play on Controller Two.
You can set your User Setup for Mel1, Mel2 or Mel3 Melody Chord Modes by stepping on the EDIT , and while
held down, tap the “Hang” pad (C natural) TWO, THREE times for FOUR Times respectively.
If you let go of the footswitch and start the process again, hitting the “Hang” pad will start the Mode changes from
the beginning showing you the Hang Mode, then Mel1, then Mel2 etc…
Adjusting the “Sensitivity” in Detecting Chords
The malletKAT must be able to detect the difference between two single notes meant to be played in succession,
or two notes meant to be played as chord. To adjust this sensitivity to best fit your playing style, please refer to
the CHORD MODE WINDOW setting in the Global Auxiliary(https://alternatemode.com/online-
docs/malletkat/#global-auxiliary-screens)
screens.
Here is an example using Melodic Mode 2:
5.3.6. Velocity Shift Mode
When you see VelS on the screen, you are in Velocity Shift Mode. In this mode, the sound switches between
CONTROLLER ONE and TWO by how hard you play.
You can set your User Setup for VELS mode by stepping on the EDIT , and while held down, tap the “Layer” pad
(E natural) TWICE.
You can also set up the exact MIDI velocity point that the switch happens in the Kit Auxiliary screens.
