Using Warp Mode - Alternate Mode malletKAT User Manual

7.6. Using Warp Mode

Warp Mode gives the malletKAT the ability to repeat any pattern in real time. The amount of repeats is
controllable, along with the tempo. Besides the echo being repeated, it is also possible to change the pitch of
each of the echo's by plus or minus 12 semitones. This means that each note struck can create a short musical
sequence. To make this even more interesting, instead of just playing back the notes evenly, we have added 8
rhythmic patterns that superimpose themselves over the real notes played.
Warp Mode can be applied to either Controller 1 or 2 (or both) for a User Kit.

Set the number of repeats from 1 to 3
Each of the three repeats can have their pitches transposed up or down (-12 to 12) semitones.
The fourth line is for applying a PATtern to the notes. The pattern are as follows:
1: Straight eighth notes in groupings of two
2: Quarter note followed by 2 eighth notes.
3: Two eighth notes followed by a quarter note.
4: Eighth note, quarter note, eighth note.
5: Eighth note triplets
6-8: Various other patterns.
A repeat count of 1 plays two notes. A repeat count of 2 plays 4 notes, etc.
You can change the tempo of the Echo by:
1. Stepping on the Edit Footswitch , (held down)
2. Tap the Backward Pad twice (for Tempo)
3. The function GROOVE must be ENABLED for this to function. (refer to previous section on Groove)
