Though it was designed for keyboardisists, the engine had very pleasant keyboard percussion and timpani sounds that even improved upon the sounds contained in the PC-2R - a rack-mountable sound module that was very popular among malletKAT owners until it was discontinued.

The unit's MB of sound memory included dedicated memory for drum sounds that were exclusive to Alternate Mode. By contrast, the gigKAT 2 was developed with a specific focus on chromatic percussion. It is a 4Gb collection of 13, multi-layered digital samples - over 16 times that of its predecessor - that contains multiple choices of vibraphones, marimbas, and timpani, along with orchestral chimes, bells, xylophones, celeste, crotales and concert percussion as well at Latin Percussion and drum sets.

Of course, it also contains a great sounding assortment of non-percussion instruments, including guitars, basses, pianos, organs, brass and wind instruments, etc. In all, there are over progarms and 37 complete drumkits available on the gigKAT2. Requests made here will be answered by email only.

The caller should immediately close the output port; this call may result in transmission of a partial midi message.

There is no abort for Midi input because the user can simply ignore messages in the buffer and close an input device at any time. Adjust the pitch of a channel. Optional data fields: write [[[0xc0, 0, 0], ]] is equivalent to write [[[0xc0], ]]. Output MIDI information of 3 bytes or less. The data fields are optional and assumed to be 0 if omitted. Return the default device ID or -1 if there are no devices. On a PC the user can specify a default device by setting an environment variable.

To use device 1, for example:. The user should first determine the available device ID by using the supplied application "testin" or "testout". In general, the registry is a better place for this kind of info. With USB devices that can come and go, using integers is not very reliable for device identification.

The number of the first device with a substring that matches the string exactly is returned. Supported interfaces:. To specify both the interface and the device name in the registry, separate the two with a comma and a space.

The string before the comma must be a substring of the "interf" string and the string after the space must be a substring of the "name" name string in order to match the device.
