malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
Use these two pads for changing the value of the function that is called up in Editing. Each strike of the pad
increases or decreases the value of “blinking” value by one.
These pads also toggle between Controller One and Controller Two when you first enter EDIT Mode by stepping
on the Edit footswitch .
You can also change the value of a function by using the numeric pads (black keys of middle and lower octaves).
Just use these pads to enter the number. It automatically loads in.
DEFAULT = F# pad (highest octave)
The malletKAT can automatically place in a default value for every function when you are editing. This means that
when you call up a function, rather than having to guess what number to input, striking the F# pad while the
function value is blinking will load in a basic “default” or normal value.
Using the Defaults will make using the malletKAT even easier for you. Whenever you want to make a new Setup,
you can dump in the Defaults so that you can start out with the Setup already close to your liking. This is
especially true since you can even change the Defaults to whatever your preferences are.
The Default values (for Setup settings) themselves may be changed at any time. To do this, the “Default” pad
must be the rst pad hit after the Edit is depressed. From this point on, as long as the Edit is held down, the values
that are being edited are the Default values instead of the Function settings themselves.
For Example: Let’s change the Default value for Channel to 4.
1. Depress the Edit footswitch and keep it depressed during the following.
2. Hit the “Default” Pad, (F# on the highest octave).
3. Hit the “Channel” Pad, (D on the highest Octave).
4. Hit the “4” Pad, (G# on the lowest octave of the malletKAT).
5. Release the Edit footswitch.
Note, you have not changed the value of Channel in any of your Setups. You have only changed the Default for
Channel. From now on, when you hit Default while looking at a Channel setting, the value “4” will be put in for the
Channel in that Setup. Let’s continue the example by showing that:
1. Depress the Edit footswitch and keep it depressed during the following.
2. Tap the “Channel” Pad
3. Tap the “Default” Pad. Note that the Channel has been changed to “4”.
4. Release the Edit footswitch.
Now you have changed the current Setup Channel setting (for one of your Controllers).
To put your Channel back to the Channel you want (and put Default setting to the Channel you want) do steps 1
to 9 above again, except at step 4 put in the Channel number you want to use. Now you should put in the Defaults
for all the values you use. This will make all of your future Setup editing easier because you can set up most the
of values quickly by using the Defaults.
If you put in a Default Setup when you start editing a Setup, all of your Personal Defaults will be inserted for you.
To load in a Default Setup, simply:
1. Depress the Edit footswitch and keep it depressed.
2. Hit the “Setup” Pad
3. Hit the “Default” Pad
