✨ 2024: What a Year! ✨
Thanks to all of you, this year has been nothing short of incredible! 🖤
🎯 New Releases
This was the year Centaurs' Gate and Archer's Rig joined the Shakmat family! Archer's Rig became the perfect beat-making partner for Battering Ram, while Centaurs' Gate found its place alongside Banshee Reach and Jeweler Cast in our 100% analog subsystem.
🎶 Community Moments
We loved connecting with so many of you at Superbooth, hearing your feedback, and sharing ideas. A special shoutout to Bristonnica and the amazing DivKid for hosting us for a chat and demo! And how about François’ workshop at Schneidersladen? Your presence made it truly unforgettable.
🌟 Big Thanks
To the incredible musicians who brought our modules to life in their releases and live rigs—Colin Benders, Steevio, Hainbach, Blush Response, Insider Music (live)—your praise means the world to us.
A huge thank-you to Surco and Andrew Huang, whose passion and insight continue to inspire countless modular enthusiasts and put our modules in the spotlight among 2024’s standouts. 🙌
We’re equally grateful to the YouTubers who shared their love for our creations: Underdog Music School, Turbo Tambourine, Audiorial, Les Sondiers, Bries, Snake of Russia. Your enthusiasm fuels the community and our journey forward!
And to every musician, knob-twister, and creative soul who picked up our modules and brought them to life in your racks: THANK YOU. Your creativity inspires us every day.
🎉 Here’s to an amazing 2025—let’s make it even better together!
From the bottom of our hearts,
The Shakmat Team 🖤

Another sneek peak at our analog sub system made of 2 Banshee Reach, a Jeweler Cast and a Centaur's Gate
This sub system allows you to do substractive synthesis, FM, ring mod, going from east-coast to west-coast synthesis at the flick of a knob!

Watching @oscarunderdog trying and enjoying the Battering Ram made our day! THEN scrolling down the comments and seeing both @surcolive and Colin Benders react on this was the cherry on the cake we wouldn't expect!
Thank you guys for the love and support!!!
May 2025 be filled with heavy kicks! :)Photos from Shakmat's post
Battering Ram and Archer's Rig have been rocking some venues lately!
So happy to see those great artists using our modules and shaking dancelfoors with them.
Thank you guys!!!Photos from Shakmat's post
A bit over a month ago we visited the great Schneidersladen in Berlin to present our new modules and play some music on our system.
Here some snippets of how it went !Photos from Shakmat's post

Simon is our neighbor, he makes complex electronic music so we challenged him as well to make a patch using Battering Ram and Archer's Rig as sound sources... of course he couldn't resist putting two Mod Medusa in there as well.

What else?We've all heard it before: "That's cool, but can you make MUSIC with that thing!?"Modular synthesizers are notoriously good at all manner of sonic chaos—but ...
Our two new modules are now available in your favorite shop. Quick overview of their features here and full walk through videos available on our YT channel. More videos in context coming hoping. They're already looking forward to find a sweet spot in your case ;)Photos from Shakmat's post
Centaur's Gate is a dual (serial or parallel mode) multitype and multimode filter. It can be pinged, it can be modulated at audio rate(it's analog), it has drive stages and feedback. Here are some first short examples of how it sounds or how it can affect sounds passing through it. There are normalizations and it also works as VCA/LPG but we'll tell you everything about it this tomorrow. Available in your favorite store by July 22.
Archer's Rig wil be released July 22 but is already available for pre-order in many shops. Here's a first glimpse of sounds it produces. High-hats, shakers, weird hi-pitched noises for sizzling top end on your beats.
We challenged our team to make music with a small system including two Battering Ram and two Archer's Rig. Here's Léonard Steyaert's take! Enjoy!Photos from Shakmat's post
