Shakmat Modular Griffin's Claws

Attenuators and VCAs are the secret sauce of every modular patch, providing opportunities for creative control and sonic movement. However, simple attenuators require constant adjustments, while voltage-controlled ones never offer precise attenuation throughout the evolution of your patch. Enter Griffin’s Claws, a new way to automate attenuation in an intuitive yet detailed way in your system.

Griffin’s Claws features four recordable attenuators with offset normalization, selectable linear or logarithmic response, and cascaded mixing on the outputs. Syncing with external clocks, gate outputs tied to fader movements, Sample & Hold, non-volatile memory of 16 presets, select bus compatibility and control on rate and amplitude complete this rich set of features. With such flexibility and precision, you will find that Griffin’s Claws soon becomes indispensable in both live performances and studio setups.
