trapKAT 4 - MANAGING KIT NAMES; CHANGING NOTE NUMBERS DOESNT DO ANYTHING; THE TRAPKAT IS PLAYING ITSELF

It KIT EDIT, pads # 19 and 20 are assigned to this task. When you step on the KIT EDIT footswitch
and continue tapping on pad 19, you will see Volume (1), Program (1), Channel (1) MSB (1) and LSB
(1), then Volume (2), Program (2) etc etc all the way up to LSB (4)
When you see the value displayed, tap on pad #20 to increment the value. You can also QUICK CLICK
the footswitch to go the other direction.
MANAGE KIT NAMES
If you own the trapKAT 5KS, you probably do not need to create your own KIT names. By using the
Program Advance, and Program Backward functions in the User Kit, the name of the kit automatically
loads in. (please read “Change the Sounds” above).
If you want to name your own Kit, you can. This is performed by stepping on the KIT EDIT footswitch
and tapping on pad #21 twice. While continuing to hold down the footswitch, the pad numbers below
change the characters on the display.
Pad 1 assigns upper case letters
Pad 11 assigns lower case letters
Pad 3 assigns a space between characters
Pad 12 assigns a character
Pad 3 advances the cursor
Pad 13 reverses the cursor
Pad 4 advances the characters
Pad 14 reverses the characters.
Let go of the footswitch when you are done. You will be surprised just how fast you can name kits in
no time.
CHANGING NOTE NUMBERS DOESN'T DO ANYTHING
The trapKAT can play up to 16 sounds on one pad. Most of the time when you are changing note
numbers, you will be working on slot number 1 (of 16). If you accidentally stepped on the NOTE EDIT
Footswitch and the KIT EDIT FOOTSWITCH at the same time and then struck a pad, you then
switched editing to slot number 2 of 16. You can tell which slot you are working on by looking at the
screen when the Note Edit Footswitch is held down. For example, you might see something like #38-
01. The number 38 is the MIDI note number. The 01 represents slot 1 of 16.
Hearing these other sound slots depends on if you have a special function turned on such as Alternate
Mode or Velocity Shift. These are activated in the Velocity Curve Screens. These functions will be
described in the KIT EDIT FUNCTIONS chapter.
If you find that you are not in slot number 1, then step on both the NOTE EDIT and KIT EDIT
footswitches at the same time, and continue tapping on the pad until slot 1 rotates back on the screen.
THE TRAPKAT IS PLAYING ITSELF
Every pad on the trapKAT has its own “THRESHOLD” setting. This is the low end (softest) sensitivity
