Configuration
You can alter Katla’s behavior by setting the DIP switches on the back. By default they are all switched off.
1. MIDI In
Section titled “1. MIDI In”- Off: MIDI
- On: MPE
2. MIDI Out
Section titled “2. MIDI Out”- Off: Single Channel
- On: Voice Specific
3. Round-Robin Reset
Section titled “3. Round-Robin Reset”- Off: Off — Katla always continues from the last-used voice.
- On: On — Round-Robin resets to voice 1 each time all held keys are released.
4. Unison Grace Period
Section titled “4. Unison Grace Period”When in unison mode, all voices are allocated to a note. This means that when releasing a chord, one note will naturally linger slightly longer than the others, causing all voices to collapse onto that note and produce a monophonic release phase. When Unison Grace Period is enabled, a slight timing offset is introduced, allowing Katla to smoothly fade out.
- Off: Off
- On: On
5. MOD Wheel
Section titled “5. MOD Wheel”- Off: Katla Pitch
- On: LFO
6. LFO Retrigger
Section titled “6. LFO Retrigger”- Off: Off — LFO runs freely
- On: On — LFO resets with every note
7. Global Detune
Section titled “7. Global Detune”Set the behavior of the detune trim pot located next to the DIP switches.
- Off: Detune — rotate the trim pot to detune all voices uniformly.
- On: Pitch Drift — turning the trim pot counter-clockwise affects Katla’s tracking accuracy. Turning the trim pot clockwise detunes all voices globally.
8. External In Level
Section titled “8. External In Level”- Off: Line/Modular
