KAT MIDI KITI PRO Drum Trigger Analog to Digital Box

"Here's the original marketing language for the MIDI K.I.T.I. Pro

'The midiKITI Pro is the most powerful trigger to MIDI converter on the market. Designed for drummers who need professional features and reliability, the midiKITI Pro is the only serious unit available for acoustic drum triggering or pad triggering. The midiKITI Pro features nine external trigger inputs for pads or triggers. With four notes per trigger, you can layer, crossfade, or even alternate sounds at the touch of a button. Its "Auto Train" feature allows quick and easy setup of MIDI channel, note channel, dynamic range, and many other parameters. The midiKITI's new live pattern generator can add dimension to your solos, or can simply be used as an ncredible practice device at home. The midiKITI Pro has all of the high level triggering features needed by today's top professionals.

KEY FEATURES—AUTO TRAINING modes allow easy setup of:
1. MIDI CHANNEL and MIDI NOTE simply by pressing your drum machine button;
2. GAIN for trigger signal simply by hitting the drum or pad.
3. TRIGGER ENVELOPE and personal dynamic range simply with a soft and a hard hit;
4. INTERACTION Groupings simply by hitting the drum or pad.

Trigger Inputs respond to electronic triggers, acoustic triggers, and drum mics because of intelligent use of the Trigger Envelope from AUTO TRAIN. PEAK VIEW allows bar-graph viewing of trigger signal strength. All Trigger Inputs are totally independent, each with: 16 levels of GAIN, 64 steps of personal DYNAMIC RANGE, variable THRESHOLDS, MASK TIMES, and HEADROOMS. SCAN TIME selects MIDI processing time from 1.5 to 8 milliseconds. INTERACTION Suppression eliminates cross triggering from one trigger to another.

16 MIDI KITs have the following independent MIDI settings for all of the 9 triggers for each KIT:

MIDI CHANNEL (1-16)
MIDI NOTE (1-128)
MINIMUM VELOCITY (0- 120)
MAXIMUM VELOCITY (8-127)
VELOCITY CURVE (feel) (1-16)
GATE TIME (0 - 6.3 seconds, in .025 sec steps and
infinite)

Each Midi KIT can send out a PROGRAM CHANGE to select sounds on your sound source.
Data Dumping through MIDI to save settings on a data disk or a computer librarian.

ADDITIONAL PRO FEATURES

Each trigger input can play up to 4 notes in 16 different modes. Modes include Multiple (Simultaneous) Velocity cross-fade and Alternating.

New INTERACTION MATRIX allows pads that interact to be grouped automatically without affecting the other pads not involved. An additional jack for a Hi-Hat mode controlled by a footswitch. (Three sounds available) KIT advance and backup can now be performed by the trigger inputs.

Select an independent MIDI Channel to receive Program Changes on. MIDI IN merge to MIDI OUT is selectable from KITI front panel.

"A lovely sounding organ / strings / polysynth . String sound is comparable to the Roland RS 202 and you can build up more complex sounds because of the 3 sections. PItch of the organ/string section can be detuned against the pitch of the polysynth. It contains an excellent ensemble effect in addition to vibrato and tremelo effect. Its a little heavy so best suited for studio use! The analog section strings/polysynth sound , to me , is very beautiful ; grainy ., a very physical real sound ."
