HEAR SOUND
When you are changing the note numbers using the NOTE EDIT FOOTSWITCH, the trapKAT
automatically auditions the sound. This means that the note number that you are calling up is also being
triggered, and is being sent out to the MIDI OUT jack and the internal sound card.
It is now possible to turn ON or OFF this HEAR SOUND function.
Step on the GLOBAL EDIT FOOTSWITCH, and while held down, step on the HiHAT controller
pedal.
The screen will either read, “Hear Sound is On” or “Hear Sound is Off”. When you go back to the Note
Edit, the result of this toggle will determine if you can hear the sounds while you are editing or not.
SPECIAL NOTE NUMBERS
Normally, MIDI note numbers go from 00-127. Each number has the ability to play a sound.
The trapKAT has SPECIAL note numbers. When scrolling past 127 using the NOTE EDIT
FOOTSWITCH, you will see the special notes that aren't really notes but FUNCTIONS. These special
notes do all kinds of cool things on the trapKAT. Take a look....
NO
This special note number function plays a silence when the pad is struck. If you are using one of the
Alternate Mode Curves, this function allows you to have the desired number of alternating notes, but
can have the option of having a silent location within the pattern. This can help create rhythmic patterns
on a pad.
Sequence Start, Sequence Stop, Sequence Continue
When a pad is set to any of these functions (by its note number name), a sequence command is sent to
the external and internal sound module. If the module is capable of playing sequences, then any
trapKAT pad can be set to control the starting, stopping and continuing of sequences.
Alternate Reset
The Alternate Reset function resets the alternating pattern to start from the beginning. If the Alternate
Reset is placed in the first position (slot #1) in Alternating Mode, then All alternating notes in the kit
will be rest. It the Alternate Reset Function is placed in any of the other remaining 15 MIDI note
numbers slots, then that pad will reset back to the beginning.
Alternate Freeze
The Alternate Freeze function stops the alternating pattern from advancing to the next note slot. If the
Alternate Freeze is placed in the first position in Alternate Mode, then All Alternate Notes in the kit
will be frozen. If the Alternate Freeze Function is placed in any of the remaining 15 MIDI note number
slots, then that pad will stop advancing until Reset.
Kit Advance, Kit Backwards
If a note number is assigned to Kit Advance or Kit Backwards, striking this pad will advance or step
backwards, the User Kit by one. Note that every kit must be assigned its own Kit Advance/Backwards
Function.
