The malletKAT is the only instrument to bring the power of MIDI and electronic percussion to the mallet player. The malletKAT offers a standard 3-octave design which can be expanded to 4 or 5 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.
