BACK UP MY USER KITS

The trapKAT is a like a computer, and can be subject to data loss. Backing up your kits should be a

routine process. There are free programs for both MAC and PC that you can use to back up your data

using a MIDI Interface. There are links on our website to get them. It is also possible to use your

sequencer to store data. This type of storage is called SYS EX DATA Dumping.

On the trapKAT there are three kinds of SYS EX Dumping. All Memory Data Dump, 1 Kit Data Dump

and Global Dump. We recommend using the “All Memory” dump. Its the easiest and the best way to

save all of your work. To perform a Data Dump, make sure that you plug a MIDI cable to the

trapKAT's MIDI out jack, then connect that to your MIDI Interface. Open up one of the programs

suggested on our website (SYSEX Librarian, MIDIOX, etc) and enable it to “RECIEVE” data.

On the trapKAT, step on and hold down the Global Edit Footswitch and hit pad # 10. All of the

trapKAT's memory will be sent out the MIDI out jack.

The trapKAT will automatically receive data dumps back. Just plug a MIDI cable to the MIDI IN jack,

and send the file over using the same program.

WHAT SOUND SOURCES DOES THE TRAPKAT WORK WITH

The trapKAT will work with any MIDI sound source... including hardware drum machines, keyboards

and all virtual and soft synth plugins.
