Create authentic shaker patterns like a real human player with Klevgrand Skaka, a top - notch sample - based sequencer plugin for shaker percussion. It features 12 parallel slots, each with unique instruments, parameters, and patterns. Klevgrand crafted the sequencer and sampler from scratch for optimal sound. Each pattern has events with individual pitch, velocity, and envelope settings. With full control over shuffle/swing, an advanced humanizer, and internal awareness of shakes, it can mimic a human percussionist at almost any tempo without time - stretching. It also comes with high - quality reverb, a room simulator, and a high - shelf filter. There are nearly 200 ready - made patterns covering a wide range of genres and styles. Key features include 18 different shaker instruments, high - precision pattern editing, a wide preset range, and an advanced customizable humanizer, along with 8 (or 9) velocity layers with thousands of samples.
Using Klevgrand Skaka is a breeze. First, select an instrument from the 18 available shaker options in each of the 12 slots. You can choose global or per - slot presets to quickly set up your sound. To create a pattern, use the pattern edit mode. Here, you can set each event's velocity, duration, pitch, and gain separately. You can also decide if your events should snap to different grids like triplets, quintuplets, or septuplets. Adjust the delay of the whole pattern for different feels. The human behavior setting adds some small, customizable changes to make your loop sound more natural. When it comes to reverb, just turn it on, and it combines with the room simulator to give your sound a realistic touch. As for maintenance, keep your plugin updated to ensure it runs smoothly. And if you encounter any issues, refer to the official Klevgrand support channels.
