Harlequin's Context Preset Programmer

Shakmat Modular Harlequin's Context

Cast your patches in a variety of roles with Harlequin's Context, the eloquent scene-based control voltage generator by Shakmat Modular. A plethora of essential modulation roles like offset voltages, LFOs, sample and hold, and more are assignable to each channel, and with four channels available per scene, there's no shortage of flexibility in this module.

Where Harlequin's Context shines is in its ability to change and morph between scenes on a whim. The global CV and Gate inputs have their functionality determined by one of 14 sets, allowing HC to function as everything from a morphing macro modulation source to a complex sequencer. Fitting for its name, this flexibility allows the Harlequin's Context to masterfully grace the stage, making it a worthy consideration for any live performance setup. And like any great performer, this Harlequin plays well with others too—HC supports the Select Bus protocol, allowing synchronized scene recall across a system loaded up with compatible modules, like the Make Noise Tempi, WMD Metron, Malekko Voltage Block, or even another Harlequin's Context.

Equally skilled in solemn soliloquies or vibrant comedy within your patches, Harlequin's Context is pleased to perform with you.
