malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
When you enter (strike a black key) or leave (strike another black key), the controller’s value can be reset to the
value set in the RESET parameter on the previous page. This parameter can also be set to NONE, which means
that the controller number will not be changed when entering or leaving a “black” key setting. It is also possible to
set this parameter to LAST, meaning that the value from this black key will be remembered when you enter it
again.
“Prev Ctrl Value” means the Control Number value of the last black key or the control function that you are
leaving from. “Next Ctrl Value” means the Control Number value of the black key that you are going to.
Here are some examples of RTC settings and the results.
Example One:
Prev Ctrl Value: RESET Next Ctrl Value: NONE
This means that when a black key is hit, the reset value for the last controller command will be sent. If you are
striking a black key for the rst time, no controller value will be sent until you hit a white key. If you have been
“working” this controller, then decide to move to another black key, the original black keys controller value will be
reset as you leave this controller. When you enter the new controller number, no initial value will be sent until you
hit a white key.
Example Two:
Prev Ctrl Value: NONE Next Ctrl Value: RESET
This means that when a black key is hit, the reset value for this newly selected controller command will be sent.
When you rst enter this controller number by striking a black key, the RESET value is sent out. When you leave
this controller number by hitting another black key, the original black keys value is NOT RESET, but if you strike
another black key, the new controllers value will automatically send out the RESET value.
Example Three:
Prev Ctrl Value: NONE Next Ctrl Value: LAST
This means that when a black key is hit, the value that is sent is the value that was sent the last time a value was
sent for this black key. If the last value was due to a reset operation, the reset value is not sent. Only the last
value sent as a result of striking a white key. This means that the malletKAT remembers what was the last value
this particular black key sent out, and returns to this value when this black key is struck again.
RTC+ VELOCITY MODE
This is a special mode that allows for two controller numbers to be manipulated simultaneously. RTC is a
horizontal control, meaning that values of a controller are affected by using the white keys, left to right.
Adding VELOCITY to this mode means that your dynamics, or vertical approach changes values to a controller.
Playing soft or loud is interpreted as small or large controller values.
This mode is analogous to turning TWO knobs of a synth module at the same time. By thinking left to right and
soft to loud at the same time, incredible effects can happen in real time, with just two sticks in your hands.
In order to properly activate this mode, the basic controller settings must first be set in the Global Auxiliary
Screens. Global Screen numbers 75 and 76.
