F#3 (Slew Speed)
G#3 (Portamento Mode)
A#3 (Reset)
When the F#3 (Slew Speed) pad is struck (with Hang Pedal Down), the Slew value is displayed, and remains
there until the F#3 pad is struck again. This acts like a toggle. The idea here is that after you strike the F#3 pad,
you will then use the C#3 and D#3 pads to program your Slew Rate. Once you have finished, hit the F#3 pad
again to begin playing.
C0 = 0 (Minimum Controller Value)
F1/G1 = 64 (Neutral Controller Value)
C3 = 127 (Maximum Controller Value)
Keys positioned between those described above are assigned intermediate values.
If Portamento Mode is OFF, striking a key will immediately send the controller value assigned to that key. The
neutral Pitch Wheel is sent when both the pad and the Hang pedal are released.
If Portamento Mode is ON, striking or holding a key will slew up or down to the value assigned to that key for as
long as the key is pressed OR until the Gate Time Value has expired. If the key pressure is released or when the
gate time ends, the controller values will slew back to the neutral value. When a white key is struck with the
mallet, the malletKAT holds that pad down as determined by the GATE Time. After the GATE Time has expired,
the Slew returns back to Zero at the determined Slew Rate when the Hang pedal is released. If the Sustain 2
pedal is still pressed when the Min/Max value is reached, the return Slew Sequence will not occur until it is
released. Whenever the Sustain 2 pedal is released, the Slew sequence returns to the neutral value (determined
by Gate Time).
ASSIGNING THE VIRTUAL CONTROL WHEEL to a User Kit
Controller Two can be set to CTLA, CTLB, or CTLC mode by hitting the Mono Edit Shortcut key Five times with
the EDIT Footswitch depressed. The functionality is accessed by pressing Sustain 2 pedal and striking or
pressing the "white keys".

7.1. Editing Functions - Pad Shortcuts

malletKAT Express
Since the Express is only two octaves, the lowest (3rd) octave function pads require the Edit Footswitch and Sustain
1 pedal at the same time (See Section 4.1.1(https://alternatemode.com/online-docs/malletkat/#malletkat-express-accessing-
editing-functions)
)
When pressing and holding the Edit Footswitch down, the pads of the top three octaves of the malletKAT become
FUNCTION pads.
When you step on the Edit and hit one of these pads, the name of that FUNCTION appears. When it does, you
simply use the INC/DEC pads to change the values.
