Description

An 8 HP dual trigger generator from Shakmat's first series: two outputs playing sequences of up to 16 steps drawn from five tables of rhythms (divider sequences, classic, revised and anti Euclidean, split sequences), the second output reworked by five modes into a practically infinite number of polyrhythms.

Key features

  • Two trigger outputs, sequences of 1 to 16 steps
  • LENGTH and PULSES knobs with their CV inputs, + and - buttons shifting the sequence
  • Five tables: Divider Sequences, Classic Euclidean, Revised Euclidean, Anti Euclidean, Split Sequences
  • Main mode: reset, no shift, invert and backward second output
  • Compute mode: associated sequences for the second output, very musical polyrhythms
  • Random mode: four amounts of randomness on the second output
  • Dual mode: each output set on its own
  • Record mode: sequences played on the buttons and recorded
  • Clock and reset inputs; discontinued
