malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
For more on using GROOVE MODE, please see the section Using the Metronome in “Groove
Mode”(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#using-the-metronome-in-groove-mode)
In EDIT MODE these pads allow you to advance backwards or forwards to the next cursor position on the screen
and also to advance backwards or forwards to the next screen (examples; Global Aux Screens, Kit Aux Screens,
Gate Time Screens, etc)
SETUP NUMBER = C (second highest C)
The Setup Number here refers to the User Setup (or Factory Kit) you wish to use.
GATE TIME CONTROL = D (highest octave)
ROLL MODE = D(twice)
Gate Time is the amount of time a note should naturally sustain before it is shut off. It represents the minimum
sustain time when not deliberately extended longer with the sustain pedal or by manually holding individual notes
down.
In MIDI terms, it is the amount of time between a NOTE ON command and a NOTE OFF command.
Proper control over gate times is essential in creating expressive nuances in your playing without melody notes
being too short or “choppy” sounding, or too long and bleeding into each other.
To learn more about how the malletKAT uses Gate Times, please refer to the section Working With Gate
Settings(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#working-with-gate-settings)
OCTAVE = E (highest octave)
Range 00-14 This function sets the pitch range of the Controller. Each time you raise or lower the number, the
entire note range of the sound goes up or down one octave.
MINIMUM VELOCITY SETTING = F (highest octave)
MAXIMUM VELOCITY SETTING = G (highest octave)
VELOCITY CURVE = A (highest octave) Range 01-11
Standard MIDI allows for up to 128 different velocity values to apply to a MIDI note. The malletKAT can detect up
to 256 different pressure values resulting from your mallets striking the pad sensor. Upon detecting a pad strike,
the malletKAT will translate this strike to an outbound MIDI value.
