Interesting MalletStation vs MalletKat Video On Velocity

This is important stuff.

You know I think the Mallet Station might be a decent entry level controller, however as SOON as you get serious, It will not even hang a little bit with the MalletaKat, that's my take so far.

But as an entry keyboard into the world of electronic mallets, I'm sure it's fine. Keep in mind that the Malletkat has a competitive instrument also. Around the same price.

But check this video out.

Malletkat and Omega w/ pickups ROCK!!!!

aloha,

It's been quite some time that i posted on the site. ive recently been focusing on improvisational music mixed with Electonica in a trio setting known as " TMP"

The mp3 attached we called " Whats Next" free improvisation until the theme is played then it floats into a variety of groove and sonic texture .. the cool thing about all is is the set and how much fun it is ...

malletKAT manual in German/ malletKAT Kurzanleitung

Hi there,

I've translated "the 20 things you want to know without reading the manual" (malletKAT) into German.

Ich habe eine Malletkat Gebrauchsanweisung ins Deutsche Übersetzt. Ist vielleicht für alle hilfreich, die Marios Workshop in Wuppertal besuchen.
Ich übernehme keine Gewähr für die Richtigkeit aber eigentlich sollte alles stimmen.
Das englische Original findet ihr auf der Alternatemode Website.

MalletKat KS upgrade is awesome

My MalletKat came back on Wednesday with the KS v7 upgrade.

I am now officially a super MalletKat Fan.
Having the internal sounds really helps very much.
Especially these PC3 sounds.

A few things I want to mention.
1. I still have to get used to the rubber pad feel.
2. The pads are much wider than the bars on my M44 making playing in general much easier.
3. The vibe and marimba sounds are really very good. Keep in mind I'm not a purest by any means.
4. The head phone output volume needs to be louder so you don't hear yourself hitting pads.
