Knight's Gallop Shakmat Eurorack

AlgoRhythmic Generator

The Knight's Gallop is a dual output trigger sequences generator with a lot of features and designed for polyrythms. The sequences are based on tables created according to algorithms such as the Euclidean one.

Output 1 is reading directly the tables and is generating a sequence according to the length and pulse values, exactly like in a classic euclidean sequencer. There're five kinds of tables with different rythmic flavours.

Output 2 is generating a different sequence based on the tables but also on the mode and the sub mode (5 modes and up to 4 sub modes per mode).

Five different feelings of grooves combined to the many ways of processing it gives you a ridiculously high number of polyrythm combinations, way more then the number of patterns available in a classic 16 steps Euclidean generator.

So here's a list of features :

• Variable length sequences (up to 16 steps)

• Length and Pulse amount potentiometers and CV inputs

• Shift + & Shift - buttons allowing to shift the sequence forward and backward

• Main mode (MN) providing a lot of utlity modes for the second output : reset, no shift, invert and reverse

• Compute mode (CP) calculating associated sequences for the second output delivering very musical polyrythms

• Random mode (RD) adding randomness on the second output, 4 amounts of randomness determined by the sub mode

• Dual mode (DL) allowing to set the two outputs seperatly

• Record mode (RC) turning the Knight's Gallop into a “play your sequence on the buttons and record it” module, in this mode the pulse knob acts as a a mute - fully ccw - and a roll - fully cw.

• Five different kind of tables for five different rythmic feelings (01, 02, 03, 04, 05) : Divider Sequence, Classic Euclidean, Revised Euclidean, Erdos Deep and Divided Sequences.
