malletSTATION EDITOR (continued)
4.1.2 The Bars
B
and Caps Section
The Bars and Caps section of the
Editor is where you can edit how
the playing surface is laid out; what
octave it is in, the lowest note, as
well as any keyboard splits (zones)
you'd want to use.
Low Note
Sets the low note of the malletSTATION anywhere from C to B.
Octave
Sets the octave of the malletSTATION with a range of
+/- 2 octaves.
Gap Caps
The editable parameters of the Gap Caps are the following:
1. Can be assigned to any MIDI note.
2. Can assign a different velocity curve to adjust the
response of the Gap Caps.
3. Can assign any MIDI channel to the Gap Caps (all
Gap Caps use the same MIDI channel).
4. Can disable all the Gap Caps.
5. Can enable/disable a single Gap Cap or all Gap
Caps. Enabling from a disabled state will use the
default note values for Gap Caps.
Assigning a Gap Cap:
1. Click on the Gap Cap desired on the keyboard
layout image
2. Adjust the note under "Selected Cap" in the Gap
Cap section (use your keyboard arrow keys up and
down to easily adjust).
Zones
You can setup two zones (splits) on the malletSTATION.
Assigning a Zone:
1. Select which zone you are editing, A or B.
2. Select where zone A ends, and zone B begins.
3. Assign a curve to each zone.
4. Assign a MIDI channel to each zone.
You can also use the sliders above and below the
Bars and Caps graphic to adjust the zone beginning
and end points. Dragging zones to overlap will result
in a layer rather than a split.
Setting Zone A to end at 0, or setting Zone B to end
above 43 will turn off the respective zone. All MIDI
notes will be sent from a single zone in this case.
