RYK Modular

Creative modules powered by digital technology.

RYK Modular is a UK-based brand founded in 2009.Their modules leverage digital technology while keeping operation from becoming overly complex. With MIDI-enabled modules becoming increasingly common, RYK Modular is a maker whose future releases are eagerly anticipated.

Time Slice

A 26HP looper/sampling machine with 4-channel audio I/O, stereo mix out, and H3000-style pitch shifters, offering per-track pitch shift, delay, reverb, tilt filter, and wave fold. Loops save as WAV with embedded markers to internal or USB storage, with per-track assignable CV in and trigger in/out, MIDI-keyboard/CC-driven one-shot loop mode, retrospective and traditional loop modes, and 4-track ping-pong resampling.

Time Slice
Envy Machine

A 12HP modulation machine with 4 independent channels, each switchable between 5 modes — ADSR envelope, AD envelope, AD LFO, random voltage, and recordable knob voltage control. Every channel offers a bipolar attenuverter, continuously variable waveshape, and a dedicated MOD input.

Envy Machine
M185

A 30HP 8-stage sequencer with 1–8 step repeats per stage and 8 gate modes. It offers A/B split mode, 2-channel CV/GATE plus MIDI I/O, 15 quantization scales, per-stage glide, and an expansion header to chain two units up to 16 stages — the design that inspired Metropolis and Metropolix.

ALGO

18HP complex oscillator bank rooted in FM synthesis. An intuitive, analog-flavored interface opens up FM's rich harmonies, supported by extras like wave fold, chorus, wave warp, detune, and a built-in VCA.

ALGO
Vector Wave

16HP digital oscillator module that merges FM synthesis with Vector Synthesis, offering 16 oscillators and multitimbral playback. Packs ADSR envelopes, LFOs, and a VCA alongside a range of modulations including waveform warp and wave folding.

Vector Wave
Night Rider

16HP digital module centered on a 4-channel filter bank, joined by a 6-step sequencer and flexible modulation. Sequence-driven filtering reshapes timbre over time, and the unit can also double as an active modulation source.

Night Rider
Vector Wave Expander

3HP expander dedicated to the Vector Wave. Adds three 1V/Oct jacks and three Gate jacks, making up for the CV inputs the Vector Wave lacks on its own when you want to drive its four banks multitimbrally with analog control.
