It lends itself to a wide range of uses and it’s a compact and affordable alternative to an electronic drum set.
Overall, I can’t recommend the KAT multipad highly enough considering its budget price tag. Priced at $129.99 it really is an excellent purchase for any drummer, percussionist, or DJ looking to explore the world of electronic drums or to perhaps begin building a hybrid acoustic/electronic drum set. It has a lot to offer in terms of sound and performance and it serves a wide range of practical uses. The KAT multipad offers exceptional value for money – it is one of the most affordable electronic drum pads on the market. The playing zones are fairly small though, so you do need to be careful of where you play on the surface of the KTMP1 to ensure the desired sound is triggered.
I’ve never experienced any issues regarding misfiring or double triggering samples. They are velocity-sensitive which is important for imitating a lifelike performance. The 4 rubber playing zones are responsive and provide accurate triggering. I like to add reverb and adjust the pitch of some of the percussion instruments to sweeten the sound for the environment I’m in. It’s also easy to tailor the sounds to your preference. Once the KAT drum pad is set up and plugged in, it’s really easy to load the sounds you want. It’s compact and lightweight which makes it a breeze to load in and set up in tight spaces. The KAT percussion pad is a very useful tool for live percussion gigs I perform. These additional drum triggers are not included with the KAT percussion pad but are bought as extras.

It works great for both PC and Mac.Ī really awesome feature of the KAT KTMP1 drum pad is the fact it has 2 trigger inputs for the KAT percussion add ons that integrate seamlessly with it. However, the KMP1 does possess the ability to be used as a MIDI controller via USB to play any drum VST sound you like.
This means you can’t load your own sound samples. The playing zones are made from a rubber material that offers a nice rebound and a good playing response.Īs mentioned before, the KTMP1 drum pad has no internal memory. You can also choose to load the playing zones with the same sample if you prefer. The KAT drum pad has 4 individual playing zones that can each load a different sound sample. This means you are restricted to playing only the included sounds. However, I am disappointed that the KAT drum pad has no ability to load custom samples. The included sounds are more than adequate for gigs, and they are functional. The pitch, volume, reverb, sensitivity, and panning can all be independently adjusted. It’s also worth noting that each sound can be fine-tuned to suit your needs.
#KAT KTMP1 DRIVER FOR MAC PORTABLE#
Having such a wide selection of sounds within a portable electronic drum padis tremendously convenient for working musicians who want to change between different sounds on the fly. There is a wide range of modern drum set sounds as well as world percussion sounds such as bongos, congas, timbales, tambourines, and other percussion and effects. Included with the KAT KTMP1 drum padis a selection of 50 fully-adjustable and multi-purpose sounds.
