Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a less feature-rich generative engine, but integrated directly into the sequencer workflow – excellent for evolving sequences based on recorded patterns.
While intuitive, it takes time to master the grid’s full potential; it’s a more involved system than simple linear sequencing.
The 'Select Bus' compatibility is designed for seamless integration with other Shakmat gear, but compatibility with other brands depends on their CV/Gate implementation.
