Pitch Wheel
If a pad note number is assigned to PITCH Wheel, then pressing on this pad will send out pitch data.
Program Advance, Program Backup
These are special functions that are designed to work only with the trapKAT 5KS.
As you may recall from the Kit Edit Section, changing programs (sounds) require a Bank (MSB/LSB)
Change, and a Program Change Command on a specific MIDI channel.
We have attempted to make a shortcut on the trapKAT. Most of the drum and percussion sounds are
located in Banks 4 and 5 in the sound module. The Program Advance/Backup is a special function that
sends out the Bank and Program change with just one tap of the pad.
When a pad's MIDI note number is set to Program Advance or Backup, drum sounds along with the
drum or percussion's name are automatically loaded into the User Kit. Every time you strike the pad, a
new drum kit is loaded in. The screen also changes, displaying the Bank and Program Change that has
just been loaded in. This makes it easy for you to find the drum sound that you want.
If you like a kit, and want to save it permanently in the User Kit, SAVE it by stepping on the Global
Edit Footswitch and tapping on pad #21 twice.
NOTE SLOTS
The trapKAT can play up to 16 sounds on one pad. Most of the time when you are changing note
numbers, you will be working on slot number 1 (of 16). If you accidentally stepped on the NOTE EDIT
Footswitch and the KIT EDIT FOOTSWITCH at the same time and then struck a pad, you then
switched editing to slot number 2 of 16. You can tell which slot you are working on by looking at the
screen when the Note Edit Footswitch is held down. For example, you might see something like #38-
01. The number 38 is the MIDI note number. The 01 represents slot 1 of 16.
Hearing these other sound slots depends on if you have a special function turned on such as Alternate
Mode or Velocity Shift. These are activated in the Velocity Curve Screens. These functions are
described in the KIT EDIT FUNCTIONS chapter.
If you find that you are not in slot number 1, then step on both the NOTE EDIT and KIT EDIT
footswitches at the same time, and continue tapping on the pad until slot 1 rotates back on the screen.
KIT SELECT FOOTSWITCH
The trapKAT has three ways of accessing your 24 Kits. This applies to both the Factory and User Kits.
Every time you step on the KIT SELECT FOOTSWITCH, the trapKAT advances the Kit by one.
