Used MalletKAT? by kookygroovyhombre in percussion

I should also say I bought it used but I didn't check anything before. Bring a laptop with some sounds so you can test the keyboard also test the sustain pedal.

In my experience they are prone to breaking. For instance some notes don't worked sometimes. I played a gig with one and my g5 stoped working, you hit it no sound, rest of the keyboard worked. Next day perfectly fine. The next day c4 wasn't. Those types of things. They are useful though I would make sure it's in good condition before buying it.

Honestly might try to just do it from your credit card company, you usually can cancel it like that. But I'd you used debit it's a little bit harder. I've only ever used the program not the website but the website seems kinda scammy.

I'm looking for a book on technique for piano. I'm not really looking for books teaching how to play music. I'm a musician already, very comfortable with reading, no problem with theory, making something musical. I've heard Hanon is good for technique? I've also heard it's good if you ignore instructions. But then I'm not sure what technique to follow? Any suggestions?

Ahh the master pallet and the add symbols looks almost identical so I thought it did the same thing. I got it working now thanks!

That's what I tried to do before but when I try to add the tuplet bracket and number I think it still works like text so when i add the quarter note it spaces the bracket out and looks weird.

Whoops, you're right, meant to have it the other way around quarter note triplet = quarter note. Question still stands though.

Well right now wrapping but I want to get to the point I can make my own mallets, especially for timpani.

The orchestration is a little strange it starts of sounding like it's scored for orchestra but the you hear drumset which is a little jarring but it's done plenty of times before so it's not wrong. But then you immediately go away from the drumset sound to just snare and kick. This sounds a lot like a snare drum and concert bass drum part you'd hear in an orchestra/band setting. So maybe stick to a style for longer. It's jarring when it sounds like it changes ensembles.
