KAT MalletKat Express 6.1

KAT MalletKAT Express 6.1 two Octaves

The malletKAT is the only instrument to bring the power of MIDI and electronic percussion to the mallet player. The malletKAT offers a standard 2-octave design which can be expanded to 3 octaves. It incorporates the same FSR technology as all of the KAT instruments, delivering superb feel and response. With 127 programmable setups and features like splitting, layering, poly/mono and "hang" modes, the malletKAT is incredibly expressive and powerful.
