![]() Kat Percussion offers 2 external trigger/controllers for the KTMP1. The Kat Percussion KTMP1 can also be the smallest electronic drumset. The only way to get the sounds back is by keeping very accurate notes of your setting and program them each time… and who’s got time for that? Add Ons A Bit One-DimensionalĬurrently, the KTMP1 feels very unidimensional and, to a point, limits creativity since every time you change any of the pads sounds, it is like starting a new scene again. Limited Play ZonesĪcknowledging it is only a 4 zone pad, being able to have multiple scenes allows drummers to be more efficient at the time of a gig. The lack of internal or external memory via USB flash drive or memory card is the biggest one for me. To overcome this shortcoming the KTMP1 can be used as a controller via USB to play any VST. It does not mean that they are not useful but they leave a lot to wish for. Without a doubt, the sounds are dated, in comparison to free VST and even GarageBand (macOS & iOS) there should not be a reason why internal sounds dated. Dated sounds & lack of internal/external memory In my experience, the KTMP1 has 3 major flaws. Just for context the Rolands SPD-SX retails at $699.99 and the Yamaha DTX-Multi12 is $599.99 in comparison to the Kat KTMP1 which costs $119.99. It is very easy going point out all the features missing in the KTMP1 when compared to a Roland SPD-SX or Yamaha DTX-Multi12, it is also hard to remember that the KTMP1 is a small fraction of any of them. The small size makes it appealing to working drummers who need handclaps, tambourine or basic sounds needed for gigs. Priced at $129.99 (sometimes under $100) makes the KTMP1 the cheapest option to add electronic sounds to your drumset or an alternative to an electronic drumset. It does work both for PC and Mac and most impressively on iPad/iPhone which is the way I have been using it. The Kat Pad can be use a MIDI controller via USB to play drum & percussion sounds using any VST. ![]() ![]() One of the most powerful features of the KTMP1 is its MIDI capability. ![]()
