Global Function Preset Changes
Alternate Mode will soon be releasing its KATALIZER Software, containing the world's most powerful looper and
mapper. Changes to the Global Screens allows for optimum routing of MIDI data for controlling looping and
overdubbing. MIDI Merge is set to off, and all note numbers coming from all 16 MIDI channels are pre-routed to
the internal sound card. When reinitializing the malletKAT, the malletKAT now defaults to USER Kits.
Version 8 now ships with a USB to MIDI Cable Standard.
The malletKAT 8 has the best of both worlds..... MIDI and USB. You choose
User Kit 128 Preassigned for controller use for the outside world.
Kit number 128 is preassigned not to send out any bank, program or control changes. Routing is assigned to
EXTERNAL only. This allows for easy control to outside sound sources like the iPAD, computer, etc.
Ketron SD1000 Presets
User Kits can now be optionally pre programmed for Ketron SD 1000.
