RYK Modular - M185

Product information "RYK Modular - M185"
The M185 is the most intuitive and playable Eurorack sequencer.

It appeals as a hands-on performance orientated module for easy creation of complex melodic sequences.

It is the original multi-step-per-stage sequencer that inspired the Metropolis and Metropolix modules.

• Features an expansion header for chaining two M185s for 16 stage sequences
• Lots more quantisation scales
• Live X0X style Gate Pattern programming

OVERVIEW

• 8 unique gate modes for creative rhythmic possibilities
• A/B split mode for two separate sequences, like having two sequencers in one box
• 2 channels of CV/GATE and MIDI I/O
• 15 Quantise scales OR pure analogue microtonal CV output

INPUTS & OUTPUTS

• 2 channels of CV and Gate outputs
• Expansion header to connect two M185s for 16 stage sequences
• Reset input [ shared with MIDI input ]
• Sync output [ shared with CH2 gate ]
• Bidirectional Clock I/O
• MIDI input for MIDI clock in, MIDI note transpose
• MIDI output for MIDI clock out, MIDI note output

STAGE DETAILS

• 8 stages, each with individual 1-8 step repeats per stage
• 8 gate modes per stage [ Off, Once, All, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, Probability or Programmable, and Long ]
• Programmable gate patterns for 'on the fly' X0X style programming of gate triggers

EVEN MORE DETAILS !

• AB serial split sequence mode with 1-8 sequence repeats for AAABAAAB sequence structures
• AB parallel split mode, for two separate simultaneous sequences that play at the same time
• Root note offset and reset trigger options from sequence B to A
• 2.5V / 5V voltage range selectable
• MIDI note output including programmable velocity
• MIDI to CV converter mode [wow]
• Programmable glide per stage
• Easy user upgradable firmware using MIDI sysex files

Product Safety Information

Eurorack DIY Kits

Important Notice & Intended Use
Please read this safety guide before installation or use. This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis. Assembly, including soldering, is required. Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation. The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.

General Warnings

1. Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.

2. Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.

3. Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.

4. Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.

5. Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.

Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.

Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit has malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.

Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using the provided screws.
• Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Connect only when the power is off.
• Follow the module's user guide for instructions on operation. Do not exceed the input/output limits specified.

Responsibility
Users are solely responsible for proper assembly and testing. Contact manufacturer support for assistance if needed.

Environmental Safety
• Dispose of the module, its components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.

Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer or distributor is not responsible for any injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from improper installation, use, or modification of this product.

Manufacturer "RYK Modular"
RYK Modular was formed in 2009 and released its first module the M185 sequencer in the Roland System 100m format. The M185 was licensed to Intellijel who based their popular Metropolis and Metropolix sequencers on its design. We have since developed the M185 in Eurorack format, featuring more advanced stage gate controls, and also the ability to split sequences in half. Our latest module, Vector Wave, is a compact Eurorack stereo polyphonic synth voice, using FM and Vector synthesis. We have also released a new module for the Roland System 100m format, the M175 Triple Resonator.
