Shakmat Modular - Archer's Rig

Bullseye! The Archer’s Rig is another well designed module by Shakmat that aims to hit the mark with unique hi-hat and high-pitched percussion sounds.

Archer's Rig blends digital noise generation with an analog processing chain.

The module offers a quiver full of noise sources, including granular, metallic, and various classic drum machine-inspired sounds. Each noise source can be enhanced with onboard effects like ring modulation, comb filtering, and sample rate reduction. The analog section includes a multimode filter, distortion, and a VCA for additional shaping.

You can save and recall settings with 96 preset slots, allowing quick access to favorite configurations. The randomizer function can vary parameters like tuning, effect depth, decay, and filter frequency to breathe life into your high hats.

There are knobs and buttons for adjusting decay, filter, and effects. The Select Bus protocol allows digital communication between compatible modules which enables preset management for multiple modules at once, neat!

All these features packed into the reliable shakmat-form factor makes the Archer’s Rig a great module for anyone looking to sharpen their sonic palette with complex, evolving percussive sounds.
