3. MAKING A SOUND.
It’s a simple matter to start playing your new malletKAT PRO With
Sounds right away because it has 128 Factory Setups, specifically
programmed to knock your socks off. All you have to do is the
following:
•
Connect the AC Adaptor to the back of the malletKAT PRO
With Sounds, screw down the locking collar on the plug, and
plug the AC cord into an AC outlet.
•
Turn on the power to your malletKAT PRO With Sounds.
•
Plug in headphones.
•
Play!
If your malletKAT PRO With Sounds does not play properly, see the
helpful suggestions in the Appendix p.49-50 or call us at 413-594-
7466, we’ll be glad to help you get started.
For additional control:
•
Connect one footswitch to the Edit FTSW input on the back of the
malletKAT PRO With Sounds. Connect the second footswitch
into the Sustain FTSW 1 input on the back of the malletKAT
PRO With Sounds.
CONTROLLING EXTERNAL SOUND SOURCES:
•
Connect a MIDI cable between the MIDI OUT on the back of the
malletKAT PRO With Sounds and the MIDI IN of your sound
source.
•
Set the sound source to receive MIDI data on Channel 1.
•
Plug headphones into your sound source or connect the audio out of
your sound source to an amplifier and speakers (or to the Audio
In on your malletKAT PRO With Sounds).
•
Play!
MAKING OTHER SOUNDS:
To make other sounds, you will select other Setups on your malletKAT
PRO With Sounds. This will automatically select other Programs
in your sound source - thereby giving you other sounds.
Right now, the malletKAT PRO is probably in Factory Setup 1 (F001).
To select another Setup, hit the Forward Function pad twice (the
Function pads are the two smaller pads above your highest “C”, on
the right hand side of the malletKAT PRO With Sounds). That
increments the malletKAT PRO through its Setups - which should
select different sounds (Programs) on your sound source.
Not very hard was it! (Hit the Backward Function pad twice and you
decrement through the Setups!)
So, use this method to wander through the Setups and play on the
malletKAT PRO With Sounds and you’ll get an idea of the variety
available to you!
(Why two hits of the Function pads?? Two hits are required to
make sure it is intentional! One accidental hit might cause you to
change sounds when you didn’t really want to.)
