Upgraded MalletKAT Performance

The MalletKAT GS Express MIDI percussion controller from KAT Percussion retains the functionality of the MalletKat 8.5, but with an upgraded twist. The onboarded sounds of the MalletKat match its predecessors, in addition to adding a pool of utilities to experiment with, providing a large bank of useful instruments. With a collection of effects like reverb, chorus, and envelop manipulation, you'll be able to find your perfect sound in any musical situation. The MalletKAT Express also retains it's MIDI interface and can connect to your DAW of choice for easy recording. Though capable of providing 2-octave sounds straight out of the box, the MalletKAT GS Express boasts the ability to expand to three or four octaves, letting you explore the entire range of your mallet skills. And with a straightforward flash drive upgrade system, you'll be able to keep your controller up to date with the latest software. Sweetwater percussionists yearn for versatile mallet controllers with easy playability and high-quality sounds, and the MalletKAT GS Express excels in both cases!

Classic MalletKAT sounds and more

Boasting a huge collection spanning eight sound categories, the MalletKat GS Express offers the same classic sounds of older KAT units, coupled with an array of new instruments to explore. These sounds were designed specifically for mallet players, so you're assured the perfect playback you're looking for in a mallet controller. And with a MIDI-capable interface, you'll be able to play any instrument from your DAW, making the musical possibilities virtually endless.

KAT Percussion MalletKAT GS Express MIDI Percussion Controller Features:

  • 2-octave design with the ability to adjust to 3 or 4 octaves
  • 8 sound categories: Chromatic Percussion, Latin Percussion, World Percussion, Chinese, Indian, African, Brazilian, Middle Eastern Percussion
  • Flash stick compatible for software upgrades
  • Controlled effects including dedicated reverb, chorus, brightness, and envelope adjustment
  • Built-in metronome
  • Velocity-controlled gate times
  • Inline audio merging for backing-track play or playback functionality
  • 1/4 stereo output, with summed-mono option

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
