Pearl EM-1 MalletSTATION Electronic Tuned Keys MultiPad

Pearl has partnered with Keith McMillen Instruments to create the malletSTATION Adjustable Range Electronic Mallet Controller, bringing cutting‐edge technology to modern mallet percussion. The malletSTATION model EM1 is a full‐sized 3.0 octave electronic mallet controller that caters to players across all skill levels and musical genres, from beginning students to professional performers.

The instrument’s adjustable low note range function lets you set the fundamental diatonic note to suit your requirements—need a low D xylophone setup? The malletSTATION handles it with ease. Powered exclusively through USB Bus Power from Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices, this controller offers remarkable portability with minimal setup requirements for performance in virtually any location.

Built with KMI’s Smart Fabric Sensor technology, the malletSTATION features silicone bar material that provides exceptionally sensitive and natural response characteristics. This includes mallet dampening and aftertouch control capabilities, all of which can be customised to match your individual playing style and preferences.

The EM1 includes a comprehensive master control section featuring 3 programmable faders, 4 programmable buttons, plus fixed function low note and octave shift buttons. Three assignable pedal inputs provide additional performance flexibility for sustain, expression, or any MIDI parameter you choose. All controls are fully programmable through dedicated software editor, making configuration changes as simple as a few mouse clicks.
