If you are editing note numbers on the trapKAT, you can AutoLoad the MIDI note number and MIDI
channel directly from the MIDI IN.
Turning On or OFF the Merge is performed simply by depressing the Global Edit footswitch and
hitting pad 4 twice.
If you are in Note Edit Mode and you press a key on an external keyboard plugged into the MIDI IN
port with MERGE On, that note and channel will automatically be loaded into the pad's note number.
SPLASH ADJUST
Pad #6
Splash is a HiHAT event that drummers use when they kick up the HiHAT pedal fast to get a splash
sound.
This function controls the “EASE” of when splash occurs. There are 10 variations of “ease”, plus off.
Adjusting the “ease of splash” is performed by hitting pad #6 with the Global Edit footswitch
depressed.
PROGRAM CHANGE RECEIVE ENABLE/DISABLE
Pad# 7
You can have the trapKAT change Kits under the control of some external device like another
controller or sequencer. To do this you must select a MIDI Channel to Receive Program Changes on.
This Channel must match the MIDI Channel that the external device is sending Program Changes to the
trapKAT on. This setting can be on any MIDI channel 01-16 or set to OFF
To select the Channel to Receive Program changes on, simply depress the Global Edit footswitch and
hit pad #7.
CYMBAL CHOCKING
Pad #8
Some drum modules use “aftertouch” to control choking a cymbal performed by grabbing the pad in
the same manner you would grab an acoustic cymbal to choke it. Try it! Enable Cymbal Choking under
pad #8 in Global Edit and see if you drum module responds to this.
There is another cymbal chocking method that was implemented by Alesis™ called Exclusive 96
Mode. Note number 96 is essentially a silence pad and is another method you should try on your drum
module if you are looking to choke your cymbal.
GROOVE VOLUME
Pad #9
This function controls the overall volume of Grooves if that are enabled. Choices are 0-10
MEMORY DATA DUMPS
Pad 10, 23,24

like a data disk or computer so that you may receive them later. On our website, we have links for
