QUICK START
Getting setup is easy. There are two brackets that connect to the back of the trapKAT. These brackets in
turn get mounted onto the brackets on your rack stand. Once you set the mounting brackets on your
stand and lock them in, setting up the trapKAT will only take seconds to set up.
The trapKAT uses a screw in style power adapter (different from other KAT models). This adapter is
universal so it can be used all throughout the world. Simply plug it in and turn it on.
Plug the eKIC (or another Bass Drum Trigger) into the “BASS DRUM INPUT” on your trapKAT. It
requires a standard 1/4” mono cable.
Plug the eHAT (or another HiHAT Controller) into the “HAT INPUT” on your trapKAT. It also requires
a standard 1/4” mono cable
Plug the supplied footswitch into the “KIT SELECT”
Use either the Headphone jack or the Audio Outputs to hear your sounds. Use the up or down buttons
to control the Volume.
The trapKAT is now ready to play.
Notice that there are twenty four pads on the trapKAT. The trapKAT also has 24 Kits to play on.
Each pad represents a number from 1 to 24. Every time you step on the footswitch, you jump to the
next kit, from 1 to 24. You can instantly jump to any kit simply by holding down the Kit Select
footswitch, and while held down, tap on any one of the pads. When you do this, the trapKAT calls up
the KIT number that matches the pad number.
You are now ready to stop reading and start enjoying yourself. Please get behind the trapKAT and start
playing!!!!!!
trapKAT version 4 (WITHOUT SOUNDS)
If you purchased a trapKAT without sounds, the audio jacks and headphone jacks will not be present.
You will see hole covers instead. This means that you can upgrade your trapKAT if you desire to get
our sound card in the future.
The trapKAT without the sound card can still easily be setup and ready to play because our FACTORY
Kits have been preset to work with the General MIDI standard. This means that almost every drum
machine's note numbers will match the note numbers assigned to the trapKAT's pads. Of course you
can change the pads sound to any other sound, but more on that later. You can still use the KIT
SELECT footswitch to change kits.
You will need to plug a MIDI cable into the MIDI OUT jack on the trapKAT into the MIDI IN input on
your drum machine.
