When I come to Europe in July, I have the opportunity to bring over a MalletKat. If anyone at the Ireland workshop or anyone in Europe is interested in a MalletKat talk to me. You'll wind up saving about a 1000 bucks.

If no one at the workshop is interested but someone in Europe is interested we can talk.

Now also for subscribers if you're interested in a MalletKat I can get them for subscribers for a VERY good price. You'd have to be a subscriber that's been on the site for a few months. But I have worked on something with Mario to save subscribers some serious bucks.

Hey guys.

I was trying to set up a vibe hang for this weekend. However our ISP is moving our server and the site will be down for a bit over the weekend. maybe actually friday to sunday!

I know Marie mentioned the vibe hang in her newsletter. I think it's best that I postpone it. I'm going to try for July 3rd. But that's not official yet. Let's see who can make it.

Hi,
I'm using a Malletkat Pro attached to a Yamaha Motif Rack XS.
The vibraphone sound has a vibrato I would like to get rid of but I couldn't figure out how to make it.
I messed around with the LFO adjustments a little bit but that showed no results.

Any idea, how to turn the vibrato off?

Thanx,

For US members, tonight will be the second broadcast of the fantastic 2010 Dave Brubeck documentary Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way from 8:00-9:30 on Turner Classic Movies. It has only been broadcast one time on Dave's 90th birthday, and is not available on DVD. Executive produced and hosted by Clint Eastwood, it will definitely "make your day."

I'm amazed that this has not been released commercially, and hopefully it will come out soon so non-US members can have an opportunity to view it.

What tune is this based on?
