    Introduction The Archer's Rig boasts a quiver full of digital noise generation algorithms, offering sharp and cutting sound sources for hi-hat and high-pitched percussion synthesis. As our archer has more than one string to its bow, he processes its source material through a versatile analog chain featuring filters, distortion, and a VCA.
  • Page 4 Architecture The Archer’s Rig has a hybrid digital–analog architecture. The digital section provides a continuous noise source, similarly to a VCO in a substractive voice, and drives the analog section with modulation signals. The analog section is composed of a multimode VCF, a VCA, a distortion and low-cut filters.
  • Page 5 Metal One square wave is Classic metallic noise modulated by a second source made of 6 detuned one. Frequency ratios are square waves. complex in order to provide a non harmonic 6 square waves with a sound source. frequency ratio close to what can be found in a Cross-FM Same as FM but square...
  • Page 6 Effects The noise source is processed by a digital effect. To select the effect type, scroll the main LED menu to "FX" and choose an effect using the display and +/- buttons [G]. Each effect has a parameter controlled by the effect potentiometer and CV input [4].
  • Page 7: Filter Type

    Turning the decay knob fully counter-clockwise while changing the closed-hat decay time, mutes it entirely. This setting allows the closed-hat trigger input to close the open-hat without generating any sound. Drone Mode: To activate the drone mode, press both the trigger and closed-hat decay buttons simultaneously.
  • Page 8 Filter Range The next menu page is the frequency range of the filter. This value sets the fixed frequency of the end of chain low-cut filter and, the VCF cut-off frequency range. To select the filter range, scroll the main LED menu to “RNG”...
  • Page 9 Velocity VLCT The Archer’s Rig has a unipolar velocity input acting on the level/gain. Each time a trigger is received at the trigger inputs [2&6], the module samples the CV received at the velocity input which therefore works as a VCA combined with a sample & hold. It is possible to set the minimum level that is when 0v is received at the velocity input [7].
  • Page 10 Memory The Archer’s Rig has a non-volatile memory of 96 presets. A preset stores the selected source and effect type, the filter type and range, the gain setting, the accent level as well as every randomization amount and every potentiometer value (including the closed-hat decay option). Also included are three banks of factory presets (A, B &...

    Select Bus The Select Bus protocol enables digital communication between modules through the ribbon cable used for power (at the back of the module). Communication occurs via pins 15 & 16 of the power connector, making it feasible only for modules employing large power cables (16 pins to 16 pins).

    The display will show the letter “F” as factory. Confirm the factory settings restorations by pressing the load button [J]. Specifications Size CV inputs 8 HP -5 to +5V Depth Audio output 21 mm -8 to +8V Current Draw 105 mA @ +12V 45 mA @ -12V www.shakmat.com...
