KAT MalletKAT Express KS 7

KAT MalletKAT Express KS 7 with integrated Kurzweil sounds, two Octaves

The malletKAT Express 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 4 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.

This new malletKAT Express7 KS has a brand new sound engine developed by the world famous Kurzweil Music Systems. The sound set comes from their new PC3 sound library. Quality instruments.....hundreds of them..... now built right inside the malletKAT.
