5 kick drum patches with Shakmat Battering Ram

video upload by Tom Churchill

"Shakmat’s Battering Ram is a great-sounding kick drum module that I’ve been using for a few weeks now. It’s already made an appearance as a supporting player in my last couple of videos, but I wanted to do a demo where it’s front and centre, because it has some pretty cool tricks up its sleeve."

Shakmat Clock O'Pawn MK2: Demo

video upload by Shakmat

"The Clock O’Pawn mk2 serves as a versatile clock device, taking on the role of true 'chef d’orchestre' for your modular system. Its transport section lets you start, stop, and reset instruments synchronized with its intuitive internal clock or have your setup dance with your MIDI equipment.

If you find metronomic clock signals uninspiring, a variety of groove patterns and clock humanization features enable the maestro to guide your setup with distinctive shuffles and swings. To complete this rich set of features in a small yet powerful clock source: presets memory, select bus compatibility, and several handy options to configure the Clock O'Pawn the way it suits you the best.

Shakmat Battering Ram: Demo

video upload by Shakmat

"The Battering Ram is a bass drum synthesizer based on an original design by Marc Nostromo. This module offers precise control over various parameters, including decay, tuning, depth, click amount, and drive. These controls have been thoughtfully mapped to provide sweet spots at every combination of potentiometer settings. The drive section can seamlessly transition between two distinct wave-shaping modes, ranging from smooth drive/compression to hard-clipping distortion for core music lovers. For smooth modular integration, there's an additional output that mirrors the amplitude envelope or its inverted shape.

The module also boasts other convenient features, such as storing and recalling potentiometer settings, a 3-pole high-pass filter, and the option to use gates instead of triggers. Despite its compact size, the Battering Ram delivers a diverse range of bass drum sounds, from long sub-bass drums to aggressive techno kicks.

"I'm so excited and honored to be a beta tester for the prototype of Battering Ram, the Eurorack module from Shakmat Modular in collaboration with my friend and Genius Marc Nostromo, the guy behind Ableton Drum Buss and Drift.So far, I love the sound (it can be sooo deep, perfect for Techno and electronic music but not only!)and I'm impressed by its real simplicity and efficiency. I hope I ll be able to do longer/better demo with the final version ."

Superbooth 2023: Shakmat Modular - 4 New Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Francois from Shakmat Modular at Superbooth 2023, who introduced us to their four new modules. First up is the Clock O' Pawn MK2, a new version of a previous clock generation model. They also showcased the Centaur's Gates, which is a dual multi-type gate that allows for different kinds of VCF, LPG, or VCA. The Battering Ram and Arches Rig are two new modules in their German model line. The Battering Ram is a collaboration with Mark Nostrom, an instrument and plug-in designer, and is a synthesis-based kick drum that has controls for pitch, decay, drive, and click. It has a gate or trigger mode and also features a volt-active input. The module also comes with a store and recall function that allows you to make a snapshot of all the controls.

Next up, Shakmat Modular introduced the Archer's Rig, a high hat generator that bridges the gap between analog and digital synthesis. The module features digital sensors processed by analog VCA, VCF, and distortion. There are various algorithms based on different square waves, such as 808 squares, and noise. The Archer's Rig has 10 different algorithms and eight different effects that allow for a lot of sonic possibilities. The module also allows for 96 presets and has a random generator for each parameter.

All modules Available Autumn 2023.

Battering Ram Price: 270 Euros.

Clock O'Pawn Price 180 Euros

Centaur's Gates Price: 330 Euros"

The New Shakmat Eurorack Modules Coming to SUPERBOOTH

The Archer’s Rig is a percussion sound generator focused on hi-hat and high-pitched percussion synthesis. The module’s design is based on a mixed architecture composed of a flexible digital core, providing a versatile audio source, and a snappy envelope, both feeding an analog process chain consisting of a VCF, a VCA and distortions. The digital source generates different types of noises such as detuned pulses, filtered white noise or cross modulated VCOs, and is followed by an effect section spicing up the noise material with different algorithms like ring modulation, phasing, glitching and digital lo-fi processes Moreover, The Archer’s Rig provides a direct access to the analog process chain, bypassing the digital sound generation, in order to feed it with any external textures. As the module offers a huge number of combinations of the different blocks, it is possible to save and load 96 presets which can be recalled by CV or select-bus.

The Archer’s Rig incorporates a “randomization” function for each parameter, giving a humanized feeling at low amounts. However, pushing the randomization towards abusively high settings leads to instant IDMish results. Thanks to its extensive list of features and its compact size (8hp), the Archer’s Rig is a versatile hi-hat synthesis instrument and fits both studio setups and live racks.

"The Jeweler Cast melts, bends, and chisels all types of signals, audio, or CV. Composed of two independent sections, the Mix, and the Shaper, the Jeweler Cast combines a ring modula- tor, a crossfader, a wavefolder and a distortion. Thanks to its tool ensemble, this fully analog yet compact module can manipulate basic waveforms and complex signals in infinite ways."
