4/27/25 Roland System 100m & SPH 323 + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"4/27/25 RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & SPH 323 Phase Shifter + Peavey 1300 + Ace Tone MP-4 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

I was going for Burzum low fidelity with the Peavey 1300 overloading and the Ace Tone MP-4 spring reverb feedbacking. Anyways, ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the right RYK Modular 185, which gates one of the Roland 140 envelopes and the left RYK 185, which gates the other envelope. Each 185 modulates the pitch of one Roland 110 VCO and VCF, while the VCFs are also modulated by LFOs from the 140 and 150 modules. The 140 envelopes control the two 110 VCAs, which are mixed on a Roland 132 and sent through the Roland SPH-323 Phase Shifter into the Peavey 1300 delay. The Ace Tone MP-4 is patched into itself for feedback as it further distorts the delayed signal and adds spring reverb."

4/18-19/25 (tranq staccato) RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & TR-606 + (more listed in description)

video upload by Cfpp0

"4/18-19/25 (tranq staccato) RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & TR-606 + DSP 808 + MXR 136 + Paia 6740 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + ADR Pan Scan + Eventide H3000B

Nothing drones quite like the ElectroComp EML 200. Two EML 200 VCOs are running through its left mixer into its internal spring reverb into its right mixer into the ADR Pan Scan and the Alesis MIDIVERB II and Eventide H3000B (Cyclons). The synth is the RYK 185 sequencing five VCOs through three filters on the Roland System 100m, processed by the Pan Scan, H3000B, and MIDIVERB II, with LFOs modulating the filters and with manual wiggling of the envelopes. The claves is the RYK 185 gate output triggering the DSP 808 module, with spring reverb from the Paia 6740. The tom is from the Roland TR-606, squashed by the MXR 136 limiter, with a room reverb on the MIDIVERB II. As the TR-606 kick drum is faded in, it further squashes the already squashed tom. The other kick is the DSP 808, with a trigger from ALM Pamela’s New Workout inverted by the Ladik U-202."

3/27/25 Roland/RYK/Lana System 100m + Peavey 1310 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"The RYK Modular 185 sequences both Lana 212 VCOs, which are set to different ranges and ring modulated by the Roland 150, which runs through the Roland 121 filter, which gets CV from the RYK 185 and an LFO from the Roland 172. The 121 filter runs through the 172 phase shifter into the Roland 130 VCA. The Lana 212 sub oscillator runs through the left side of the 121 into the 130 VCA, which is controlled by the Roland 140 envelope, driven by the 185. The 130 high output runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, with reverb blended on the Chase Bliss CXM 1978. The 130 low output runs through the Peavey 1310 delay, fully wet, to the Mackie, with CXM 1978."

Envy Machine | Quad Function Generator | By RYK Modular

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Quad function generator? Isn't it a four channel ADSR or LFO or S&H or CV recorder? Indeed it is. But it also provides 'ghost hand recording' on all channels and it's great for cross patching. Sure it's designed for the awesome ALGO and Vector Wave and they make brilliant combos. It's missing the 'end-of-whatever' trigger/gates to make it a true complex function generator but it can surely help to make weird sounds too.

A typical modular case is about 70% or more utilities, so the 12 HP Envy Machine could save you a lot of space and modules. However, it's a utility module so the real magic still needs to come from your VCO."

Live eurorack improvisation with Constellation - RYK Algo - Westlich Performer - Ericasynth LXR Drum

video upload by Flat Round Modular Music

'A Modular improvisation , maybe Electronic Music, with :

Acid Rain Constellation - A powerful drum sequencer based on Euclidean algorithms, eight voices, for infinite rhythm sequences. Very live oriented.

RYK Algo: a digital four operators FM module, eight algorithms , for harsh to smooth melodies. And you can easily use it as a simple four voice module, ideal for chords. Wave folding and shaping inside. Very versatile.

Westlich Performer: Eight tracks CV/ gates with interesting CV modulation sequences, euclidean mode. My choice if I would have only one sequencer. And midi capacities too.

LXR Drum : Digital, yes, but a good way to learn the basics of drum sound synthesis with subtractive and FM synthesis. It can to everything if you need percussion acoustic of digital drums. Seven voices too.

This setup can do almost every style of music.

Have a look."

RYK Modular ALGO Quad Complex Oscillator Bank Review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"ALGO is a bank of oscillators that creates complexity through cross-modulation via uncomplicated interaction. In other words, it's four beautiful sine wave oscillators that you can warp, fold and jam into each other for some fabulously easy-going FM timbres. Here's my review.

RYK sent me the module for review, therefore I have to tick the "Paid Promotion" box, but they haven't paid me to do anything with it or have any say in the content."

ALGO Quad Complex VCO by RYK Modular

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"RYK modular did it again. ALGO is a quad complex stereo VCO that will serve both the beginner as the advanced sound explorer.
ALGO's four oscillators can be used to create complex FM or additive sound textures (chords, pads, organs). A unique Algorithm Display gives an idea of what affects what, and it looks great. In a typical 4-Operator scenario, you can use M1 to M4 CV to modulate the volume of each voice, but you can also switch to FM mode and unleash chaos.
The module uses the 'sum of sines' technique to sculpt new sounds, but you can also use Warp and Fold to do traditional waveshaping and folding.

The module offers detuning, chorus and a built in VCA."

RYK Modular Algo improvised play with friends

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"My first play with the RYK Algo FM module. Using an 8-step loop from the Oct Tone, a bit of delay from the Milky Way, some reverb and cassette saturation from the Chroma Console. I then foolishly threw in a VCO from the Batumi II through the Sqwk Dirty filter and sequenced from the meloDICER, all of which I'm using for the first time. I'm not sure it gels all the time, but I was having a lovely time exploring."

4/1/24 Roland (& RYK, Lana) System 100m + Trogotronic 676 + Zerosum Inertia PLXNA2 + Lexicon PCM 70

video upload by Cfpp0

"The RYK Modular 185 sequencer for Roland System 100m sequences two 112 oscillators, which run into the 121 VCF into the 130 VCA, with an envelope from the 140. The 130 goes to the Zerosum Inertia PLXNA2, which goes to the Mackie Onyx 1640, with some Lexicon PCM 70 (Cascade BPM). The RYK 185 also sequences a Lana 212 VCO, which runs into the FM CV on the PLXNA2. This all produces the bass line melody. Another output on the right 112 VCO goes to the input on the Trogotronic 676, which creates the dissonant drone that is slowly faded in on the Mackie (with a lot more PCM 70)."
