trapKAT 4 - REINITIALIZE; GENERAL MIDI NAMES; TRAIN HIHAT Pedal; BASS DRUM TRIGGER GAIN

you to play hard..... don't just bash it. Think about what level of hard playing you want the trapKAT to
go to reach its maximum velocity setting. This is one place where you might need to experiment to get
the trapKAT to respond the way you want it to!
REINITIALIZE
PAD #15
To Reinitialize your trapKAT back to all the original FACTORY and USER Kit settings, simply hold
down the Global Edit footswitch, and hit pad #15. The trapKAT will ask ask you to hit pad #15 again,
while your pressing pad #1.
If you then hit pad #15 again, while holding down pad #1, and while still depressing the Global Edit
footswitch, the trapKAT will return to the original settings for everything. User Kits, Pad Thresholds
and Preferences.
If you have a trapKAT 5KS, then you will need to go back to User Kits. But before you do that you
must shut off Memory Protect.
So, if you have a trapKAT 5KS and you reinitialize the trapKAT...
1) Step on the Global Edit Footswitch held down and hit pad #3 to shut off Memory Protect.
2) Step on the Global Edit Footswitch held down again, but now hit pad #1 to get to User Kits
GENERAL MIDI NAMES
PAD #16
When setting up your MIDI note numbers on your pads, you can also choose to display the General
MIDI Name of that note number. This feature only works if you are using a GM drum module. The
Kurzweil Sound engine built into the trapKAT has an enhanced GM sound set. This means that the
basic sounds are still assigned to the GM locations, but there are many other sounds that are not GM
that are used in the sound card. This is a good thing because there is more variation of sound available
on the trapKAT 5KS
Step on the Global Edit footswitch, and while held down, tap on pad #16. The GM Mode toggles
between on and off with multiple hits.
TRAIN HiHAT Pedal
PAD #17
It really is important to TRAIN your HiHAT pedal in order to get the best results out of the pedal. Make
sure that you are using a 1/4” mono jack plugged into the trapKAT. Step on the Global Edit Footswitch
and tap on pad #17 twice.
The screen will ask you to depress the HiHAT pedal all of the way down and then hit any pad.
Next, the screen will ask you to release the HiHAT pedal then hit any pad.
BASS DRUM TRIGGER GAIN
PAD #18
The BASS Drum input can be TRAINED, and the THRESHOLD and DYNAMICS can be changed in
the same way as for the pads. Simply play the bass drum pedal instead of hitting a pad when
TRAINING.
