trapKAT 4 - FOOT CONTROL CURVES; SPECIAL CURVES (MULTI MODE and ALTERNATE MODE)

To Previous Page

If you decide that you want to have different velocity ranges and curves for different pads, the trapKAT

allows you to do this. Pad # 12 controls individual pad minimum velocity. Pad # 13 controls individual

maximum pad velocity. Pad # 14 controls individual pad velocity curve. When any of these pads are

tapped, the trapKAT will ask what pad you want to change. Hit the desired pad and change the velocity

or curve by continued strikes on that pad. If you change any pad, and go back to the Kit Velocity pads,

you will see “various” on the screen, informing you that different pads have different velocity values. If

you proceed to change the value here, all velocities within the kit will be reverted to this value.

FOOT CONTROL CURVES

There are 7 different foot control curves to choose from to personalize the feel of your HiHAT

controller pedal. Choose the one that best suits your type of controller pedal.

Hold the Kit Edit footswitch down and also press down once on your controller pedal. Each subsequent

press on the pedal toggles through the foot controller curves.

SPECIAL CURVES (MULTI MODE and ALTERNATE MODE)

Pad 4 and 14

In the search to add drumKAT like features to the trapKAT, we developed a way of adding multi mode

and alternate mode features to the trapKAT without the necessary programming needed on the

drumKAT to do this. This was accomplished by adding special “canned” curves that performed these

functions simply by calling up that function. These curves are located in Velocity Curve pads #4 (kit)

and pads #14 (individual pad) settings. They appear after the “ 8 normal” curves.

To select a multi-pad or alternate mode curve, step on the Kit Edit footswitch and hit either pad 4 for

the entire kit or pad 14 (recommended) to find the special curve function. These Special Curve

Functions are:

Note @ Hardest sound 2 plays only for the hardest hits

Note @ Hard sound 2 plays only for hard hits

Note @ Medium sound 2 plays when medium hits are executed

Note @ Soft sound 2 plays when soft hits are executed

2 Note Layer two sounds are played simultaneously.

Xfade @ Middle crossfades of sounds 1 and 2 where they mix in the middle

Xswitch @ Middle crossfades on sounds 1 and 2 where there is an exclusive switching from

one to the other in the middle
