Reassignment #7-14: all keys set of OFF
REASSIGNMENT LOOP MODE
You can assign the notes in the Reassignment Layer Mode to function as a LATCH, where the first strike sends a
note on, and a second strike on the same pad shuts it off. If the Reassignment is set to MONOPHONIC MODE in
the Kit Auxiliary Screen, only one loop will play at a time. If the Reassignment is set to POLYPHONIC MODE in
the Kit Edit Screen, it is possible to independently control multiple loops. The Hi C on the malletKAT is reserved to
shut off ALL active Loops in the Reassignment.
Set the Forced GATE to LATCH in the Kit Auxiliary Reassignment screen and the notes played by the assignment
layer will toggle (i.e. 1st time a pad is hit, a NOTE ON will be send and the 2nd time a pad is hit, a NOTE OFF will
be sent). The reassignment layer will operate in polyphonic and monophonic modes.
Special Pad Assignment for Loop Mode: If a note number below 128 is assigned to reassignment pad #61 (hi
C), striking this pad will send a NOTE OFF for all pads for which no NOTE OFF has been sent. Pad #61 will not
send a NOTE ON for this pad.
If note number 128 (OFF) has been reassigned to reassignment pad #61 (hi C), to this pad will not play a
reassignment note (normal) BUT will also NOT turn off notes for the other reassignment pads. This gives the user
the ability to decide if one pad is capable of controlling all reassignment note offs and also allows the hi C pad to
be a playable note in COMBINE mode, without turning off all active reassignment pads.
REASSIGNMENT QUICK COPY
A fast copy function has been added to the reassignment mode so that the user can copy the values of one
reassignment pad to the next right adjacent pad (musically speaking, this means “going up a half-step”)
While in the Global Reassignment Edit Screen, Hold down the edit AND the Sustain ONE together:
Tapping the FORWARD function pad will copy the existing assignment, including retaining the same MIDI
Note Number
Tapping the BACKWARD function pad will copy the existing assignment, and also increment the MIDI
Note Number by 1 (up a half-step).
6.6. RTC - Real Time Controller
Real Time Controller Mode turns the malletKAT into a massive knob turning machine. Each black key on the
lower two octaves of the malletKAT is assigned a channel, controller number, minimum value, maximum value,
and reset value.
Once a black key is struck, the white keys act as individual values (like the position of a fader or knob on your
synth). The lowest C is the minimum value, and the highest C is the maximum value. As you play on the “white
key” pads of the malletKAT, the malletKAT instantly translates your last hit to the controller “knob” of your synth.
The knob turning can be instantaneous, or can slide “slew” to the next value. This can create some incredible
interesting effects that are not possible with real time knob tweaking. Complex rhythms can be imposed on any
controller number.
