TrapKATEditor

Musical instruments adapted to evolution of technology. For instance, you can now purchase electronic drum kits which you can rout to your PC for maximum efficiency and song manipulation. Just as the name suggests, TrapKATEditor is an application meant to help you edit configuration of the trapKAT electronic drum controller.

Before you can enjoy all the features put at your disposal, you need to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer, even though it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations. You might want to grab MIDI-OX to neatly set up connection between your PC and the trapKAT controller.

The visual design can feel a little confusing at first, but a visit to the documentation file quickly sorts everything out. Split into two tabs, the application provides control over kits & pads configuration, as well as global assignment of notes based on standard variables, sounds, and more.

You can either start from scratch and later on export the configuration file, or you can capture input from the trapKAT device to edit SysEx files in real time. In case MIDI-OX connection is established, the status bar provides relevant info regarding data transmission. A project can be saved as a kit assembly, or individual components like current and global memory.

By default, the application displays notes as numbers, but this can easily be changed from the options menu to show names instead. The arrangement of elements in the main window is pretty intuitive once you get the hang of this, making it easy to adjust every trapKAT input area by writing down corresponding values.

All things considered, we can state that TrapKATEditor comes in handy for making the most out of your trapKAT electronic drum controller. The design keeps things simple, with an intuitive arrangement of notes and interactive areas. Connection can be established between the app and device for proper reading, and uploading of data files, being worth your while in the end.
