There is one important difference with the Bass Drum Trigger than with the pads. It has a GLOBAL
GAIN Setting to help accommodate the variety of bass drum triggers available. Simply hit rim pad #18
with the Global Edit footswitch depressed and you can cycle through the three Gain Settings with
repeated kits.
MIN (best for eKIC), MID (triggers that need more Gain) MAX (triggers needing high GAIN). If after
the training the bass input, the response of your bass trigger is not optimum, then try a new Gain, then
Train again. You can look at the Training Values (pad#13,14) to see the results of the GAIN change.
DISPLAY ANGLE/ BEEPER
PAD #19,20
On the trapKAT can change the viewing angle of the display and you can turn the Beeper on or off.
When you tap on pad #19 in Global Edit, the screen toggles between the Display Setting and the
Beeper Setting with each hit. To change the angle or the beeper setting, tap on pad #20
SAVE USER KIT
PAD #21
New to the trapKAT 5KS is the SAVE USER KIT function. In the past, the trapKAT automatically
saved kits. Now after editing your User Kit, you will need to step on the Global Edit footswitch, and
while held down, tap on pad 21 twice. Your current User Kit will be stored into permanent memory.
PAD LINKING
It is possible to LINK and pad to any pad. This means that when a pad is LINKED, striking one pad
will play the notes from two pads. The pad that you are playing on, PLUS the pad that is linked to that
pad.
To turn on the Link Pad Function,
Step on the NOTE EDIT FOOTSWITCH and tap on the pad that you want to set up the LINK. Now
with the NOTE EDIT FOOTSWITCH still held down, tap on the GLOBAL EDIT FOOTSWITCH.
Each time you tap on the GLOBAL Footswitch, the LINK Advances to the next pad. The choices go
from pad 1 to 24 and NO.
When you assign a pad to LINK, both the pad that you are playing on AND the sounds assigned to the
LINK pad will sound.
If you want to cancel this function, set the LINK to OFF. This is done by continuing tapping the
footswitch past pad 24. The LINK Screen will say NO. Remember that quick-click. (release and step
again). Doing this on the Note Edit Footswitch will change direction of the pad LINK Numbers.
NOTE EDIT FOOTSWITCH
Changing note numbers on the pads is a real easy task. All you have to do, is hold down the NOTE
EDIT FOOTSWITCH, and while it is held down, tap on any pad.
Every other hit on that pad with the footswitch down will increment the number by one. If you want to
go the other direction, use “quick click”. (release and repress the footswitch). The numbers now go in
reverse order.
