Shakmat Modular Mod Medusa

Medusa Building Guide

Snake Music.
The Mod Medusa from Shakmat is not just an LFO—it’s a performance-ready algorhythmic modulation powerhouse. Imagine four shapeable LFOs dancing to the rhythm of Euclidean and Gallop-based algorithms, each pulsing with its own flavor of polyrhythm. That’s the essence of this uniquely sequenced LFO generator.

Each output can operate independently or in tight correlation, delivering flowing or angular modulations based on the chosen mode—Main, Compute, Random, or Phase. The Shape and Symmetry controls morph your signals from subtle curves to jagged waveforms in real time. Add in assignable Gate and VCA inputs, a peak sync function, and on-board clock division, and you’ve got a rhythmic modulation instrument unlike anything else.

Whether you need evolving modulation for texture, complex grooves for clocked modulation, or live expressive control, Mod Medusa offers a depth of rhythmic exploration in a compact package.

Available as a fully assembled unit or in a DIY kit for hands-on creators.
