malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
increase or decrease the values. Re-strike the F#2 pad to return to Play Mode.
When Increasing the Slew Rate, (the numbers get higher) it means that the effect is slower. The higher the value,
the longer it takes to get from value to value. A value of 255 is about 1/4 of a second. By decreasing the value to
125, it means that it will get from value to value faster, twice as fast as the 255 setting.
The G#2 pad is the PORTAMENTO ON AND OFF Key. Strike this pad while in RTC mode and in PLAY mode.
The screen will “burst” a message of being on or off, then resume back to PLAY mode. It is a toggle pad. Re-
strike the pad to activate or deactivate this feature. Having PORTAMENTO OFF means that the values will
instantaneously switch to whatever white key value is struck.
The A#2 pad is the RESET PAD. When this pad is struck in PLAY mode, it will RESET the value of the active
controller to whatever value was set as the starting value for that Controller.
Assigning Controller Numbers
Controller Number assignments to the black keys in RTC Mode is a Global Assignment, meaning that there is
only ONE RTC assignment in the malletKAT.
There are three screens for data entry. Global Auxiliary Screens (67,68, & 69) will all take you to the screen.
Global Auxiliary Shortcut #67
malletKAT Express
Auxiliary Editing Screens require pressing the Edit Footswitch and Sustain 1 pedal at the same time (See Section
4.1.1(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#malletkat-express-accessing-editing-functions)
)
RTC KEY NUMBER
Parameters = A#-1—A#+1
This represents which black key on the malletKAT you are working on. On a three octave malletKAT, a screen
display of C# represents your lowest C# on the instrument. Change the value by hitting the increment, decrement
keys. Your options are C#,D#, F#, G# and A#. If a second value is present, i.e C#+1, this represents the second
C# on the instrument. C#-1 is the lowest note on a four octave malletKAT, and C#-2 is the lowest note on a five
octave malletKAT. Notice that the highest octave is not available. That is because the “master” octave’s black
keys are reserved for special functions.
Global Auxiliary Shortcut #68
malletKAT Express
Auxiliary Editing Screens require pressing the Edit Footswitch and Sustain 1 pedal at the same time (See Section
4.1.1(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#malletkat-express-accessing-editing-functions)
