malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
NORMAL MODE SCAN COUNT
Parameters = 3..16
This setting tells the malletKAT how long to scan or examine the pads before sending out a note. The higher the
setting, the more accurate the dynamics, but the more latency it adds. The default value of 5 is the normal setting.
Global Auxiliary Shortcut #1
PERMANENT MEMORY IS
Parameters = ON/OFF
You can protect changes made to your USER KITS when you turn ON the PERMANENT MEMORY setting. If the
PERMANENT MEMORY is set to OFF (the default setting) changes made to your USER Kits are automatically
saved. There is no SAVE Procedure on the malletKAT.
TIPS:
The Factory KITS can not be Permanently Saved unless copied to the USER KITs. Global Settings can still be
altered when MEMORY PROTECT is turned ON.
The malletKAT PRO will also accept a SYSEX Dump regardless of this setting.
Global Auxiliary Shortcut #64

Auxiliary Editing Screens require pressing the Edit Footswitch and Sustain 1 pedal at the same time (See Section

)
PROGRAM STRING NAMES
Parameters = KIT NAMES, NONE, INSTRUMENT NAME
You can customize the way the malletKAT screen displays data. A setting of KIT NAMES, allows one to
customize the names of their USER KITS. Every User Kit can have its own unique name. Once this setting is
active, the malletKAT will display in PLAY mode on the third line, the KIT Name that you programmed in the KIT
AUX Screens. If no name was programmed, the screen will display ****************.
A setting of INSTRUMENT NAME automatically calls up the General MIDI Instrument name nomenclature. This
means that the Instrument Name is connected to the program change number, not the User Kit name. You can
NOT modify these names.
The Factory Kits automatically operate in the INSTRUMENT NAME Setting. Only the USER KITS re ect this
choice.
A setting of NONE eliminates all instrument names on the display. Instead, the third line shows key parameter
information of Controller One, and the fourth line displays parameter information of Controller Two.
