What's New - Alternate Mode malletKAT User Manual

malletKAT User Manual (ver.07-17-18)
commands per kit. It also sends out "controller values" so you can preset settings for reverb, chorus, delay and
more, automatically. You can further adjust these settings via our two controller pedal inputs and one breath
control input. Velocity ranges, octave range, gate times, channel assignment, etc. are also stored in one of the
128 User Kits. You have the ultimate control you need to make music. The MalletKAT acts as a MIDI Mixer built
right into each setup.
DJ Surface Control (Real Time Control Mode)
Turn your MalletKAT into a virtual surface controller. Control programs like REASON and LIVE right from the
MalletKAT. In this mode, the MalletKAT's black keys represent the knobs and buttons on your synth. The white
keys move the knobs left (low notes) to right (hi notes). Play rhythms in real time to create effects only possible
with the MalletKAT. Use the MalletKAT's other controller (layer) to play live on top of these effects.
MIDI Merging/Routing
The MalletKAT can function as a MIDI Merger. Incoming MIDI channel information can be filtered, routed, etc. A
real time saver in the studio.
Programmable Footswitches and Controllers for Effects
While you can use the footswitch inputs as KIT INCREMENT and DECREMENT for fast Setup changes. You can
assign special functions to them such as vibrato, pitch bend, combined sustain functions, and even play MIDI
notes (up to four simultaneously). The two Controller Pedals can send out data on any of the 128 CC numbers.
Special functions such as Blend, Warp, etc. are also featured.
Additional Tweakables
Lots of global "geek" controls like auto train value adjustments, synth fine tuning adj., data stripping, CC#
assignments, scan control, MIDI routing, etc.

1.3. What's New?

malletKAT 8.0 Features:
Multiple Controller Numbers Presets Per User Kit
Every User Setup now stores and transmits up to 3 pre defined Controller Numbers along with a discrete value for
each number. This means that now you can assign things like reverb or chorus settings in each kit.
Note: Kit Controller #1 resets the assigned discrete value to zero when exiting the kit. This means that if you have
controller #1 set to Modulation, the malletKAT will automatically reset modulation to the neutral position.
All three controller numbers and values share the same MIDI channel.
Improved Dampening
Dampening now sends out a velocity of zero when seeing a dampening gesture. Version 7 sent out a velocity of
7 / 109
