you will then use the C#3 and D#3 pads to program your slew rate. Once you have finished, hit the F#3 pad again
to begin playing.
The “white keys” are each assigned a Pitch Wheel controller value from 0- 127 in the following manner.
C0 = 0 (min. controller value)
F1 = 64 (neutral controller value)
G1 = 64 (neutral controller value)
C3 = 127 (max controller value)
Keys positioned between those described above are assigned intermediate values.
If Portamento mode is OFF, striking a key will immediately send the controller value assigned to that key. The
neutral Pitch Wheel value is sent when both the pad and the Sustain 2 pedal are released.
If Portamento mode is ON, striking or holding a key will slew up or down to the value assigned to that key for as
long as the key is pressed OR until the Gate Time Value has expired. If the key pressure is released or when the
gate time ends, the controller values will slew back to the neutral value.
When a white key is struck with the mallet, the malletKAT holds that pad down as determined by the GATE TIME.
After the gate time has expired, the slew returns back to “0” at the determined slew rate when the Sustain 2 pedal
is released. If the Sustain 2 pedal is still pressed when the max/min value is reached, the return slew sequence
will not occur until it is released. Whenever the Sustain 2 pedal is released, the slew sequence returns to the
neutral value (determined by gate time)
PTW TIPS
In order to hear the sustain sound, you must have sustain one pedal down. When you release the Hang pedal, the
slew sequence returns to the neutral value at a duration of the programmed gate time of Controller 2. Make the
gate time settings small so that when you release the Hang Pedal, you will have normal pitches being played on
Controller one.
If you continue to press on a white key after releasing the Sustain 2 pedal, the pitch bend continues until that key
is released. Holding the pad down has the same effect as holding the Sustain 2 pedal down.
6.8. Virtual Control Wheel
VIRTUAL CONTROL WHEEL A,B,C CONTROLLER NUMBER
Parameters = CC#00-127
The Virtual Control Wheel Function on the malletKAT turns a User Kit’s Controller Two into a Programmable
Control Wheel. Unlike RTC, the value of the white keys return to zero when the note is released. This simulates
using a Pitch Wheel on a Synthesizer. This Mode is intended to be used in conjuction with Controller One, the
actual sound, while Controller Two imposes the control wheel effect on Controller One.
There are three Virtual Control Wheels (besides the Pitch Bend) that can be assigned GLOBALLY. These are
Control Wheels A,B and C. In the Global Auxiliary Screens, you assign what controller number (1-127) you
want to assign onto the VIRTUAL WHEEL.
Every User Kit in the malletKAT can use ONE of these three assigned Wheels to Controller Two.
The Master Octave is reserved for Special Functions.
