Shakmat Four Bricks Rook

Tap your beat!

Far beyond basic step sequencing logic, the Four Bricks Rook brings a highly intuitive interface to all your rhythmic duties and provides a diverse array of features including CV addressable memory of 128 thirty-two steps tables where you can store your own sequences, precision timing to allow non–quantized/off-beat rhythms, an auto randomizer/pattern filler, and four modes defining the pad's behavior : play & record, recall patterns, play fills, or mute your sequences.

Features

• Variable length sequences (up to 32 steps)

• Shift function scanning through different segments of the sequence

• Non-volatile memory allowing to store and recall patterns (16 slots of 8 - 4 tracks / 32 steps - patterns)

• Potentiometer and CV input for table addressing

• Quantize function per track

• Two playing buffers A and B

• Play Mode allows to play and record your sequence on pads

• Table Mode allows to read and load sequences stored in the non-volatile memory

• Fill Mode allows to use the tables in a more dynamic way

• Mute Mode allows to mute tracks and erase part of the sequences

• Random generator allowing to automatically fill the sequence or create random sequences

• Adjustable trigger length per track

• Current state (buffers / rndm / pointed slots / trig length) storing

• Factory tables including pre-programed beats and specials clock divisions such as triplet ones.

• Elektron style push buttons

• High quality metal potentiometers with double rubber injected knobs

• Bi-polar (-5V - +5V) CV inputs

• Skiff friendly (26mm deep)

• 16 HP Wide
