Plugin Boutique has launched an exclusive sale offering nearly 60% off on Klevgrand’s Skaka, a sample-based sequencer plugin for shaker percussion instruments. The plugin is now priced at $29 USD, down from $69.99 USD, and this deal runs until May 10th, 2026.

Skaka creates realistic shaker patterns that mimic human playing. It includes 12 slots, each with its own instrument, parameters, and pattern.

The sequencer and sampler are built from the ground up to optimize for shaker sounds. Each pattern contains events with individual parameters like pitch, velocity (controlling shake speed), and envelope.

Skaka offers full control over shuffle/swing amount, an advanced humanizer function, and internal awareness of in- and out shakes, which sound different. It supports grids divided into triplets/quintuplets/septuplets, timing fine-tuning, and variable sequence lengths, allowing close replication of human percussionists across tempos without time stretching.

Additional effects include a reverb, room simulator, and high-shelf filter. Producers incorporating shaker percussion into tracks would use this plugin for authentic rhythms in genres like pop, electronic, or acoustic music.

This deal matters because it lowers the cost of a specialized tool for achieving lifelike percussion without manual programming. Skaka is available in VST/VST3, AU, and AAX formats.
