MalletKAT 8.5 - Express
2-Octave Keyboard Percussion Controller

Series: Kat Electronics

Manufacturer: KAT Percussion

Format: General Merchandise

The MalletKAT is the world's most powerful MIDI percussion mallet controller. The MalletKAT Express offers a standard 2-octave design which can be expanded to 3 or 4 octaves.

The MalletKAT Express incorporates the same FSR technology as all of the KAT instruments, delivering superb feel and response. With 127 Factory Setups designed to work with General MIDI sound Modules and 127 programmable User Setups and features like splitting, layering, poly/mono, "hang" modes and more, the MalletKAT is an incredibly expressive and powerful alternative to traditional marimba and vibraphone instruments. All MalletKAT 8.5 User Kits are preprogrammed for the brand new GigKAT2 Module for instant turn key operation but can also be modified by the user.

The GigKAT2 has 256 voices of polyphony and can play simultaneously on all 16 MIDI Channels. Finally you can leave the computer home. Everything is done for you. Just call up the User Kit on the malletKAT and enjoy. Included in the sound set are many vibes, marimbas, timpani, steel pan, chimes, bells, xylophone, crotales and orchestral and Latin hand percussion and drum sets. The GigKAT2 also provides hundreds of non-percussion sounds, like pianos, basses, guitars, strings, horns, organs and electric pianos. You are only limited by your own imagination. There has never been a module like this before.

Controller without GigKAT2 Module Also Available Model #7507

Unit dimensions: 32" X 11" X 2.5"
