malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
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)
)
ADJUST THRESHOLD BACKWARDS / FORWARDS
Parameters = 01-48
The pads on the malletKAT have programmable sensitivity settings. The BACKWARD and FORWARD pads have
their own sensitivity setting usually set higher because these are function keys not note keys. These screens
allow one to manually change the sensitivity setting. The default is set at 45. For more information, refer to the
section Adjusting Pad Thresholds(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#adjusting-pad-thresholds)

AFTERTOUCH DEPTH
Parameters = 00-64
Aftertouch is a MIDI controller effect created when pressure is applied to the pad. Since different mallets have
various degrees of stiffness, you need to be able to adjust how much pressure is needed to produce the
Aftertouch effect you want. The larger the Aftertouch Depth setting is, the easier it is to get a large Aftertouch
effect. Experimentation might be needed for nding the proper setting that is most natural to you.

AFTERTOUCH MASH COUNT
Parameters = 00-64
Performing Aftertouch with mallets can be a bit tricky because of the exibility of the mallet shafts causing double
triggers and somewhat “bouncy” readings.
To give you the ability to tweak this, the Aftertouch Mask Count allows you to specify a time window within which
the malletKAT Pro will look for an Aftertouch gesture. This count time is the time within which the malletKAT will
regard a re-strike or pressure on a previously hit pad as Aftertouch instead of seeing it as a soft hit.
Basically, the bigger this count is, the easier it is to get Aftertouch to be recognized. The trade off is that the larger
the Aftertouch Mask Count, the less you can trill on a pad in Aftertouch mode. The smaller the Aftertouch Mask
Count, the “cleaner” you must be in your Aftertouch gestures, but you will also be able to more easily roll on a
single note.
