RYK Modular M185 Sequencer

The RYK Modular M185 Sequencer is a highly capable and versatile analog sequencer designed for use in Eurorack modular synthesizer systems. This module features eight channels, with an A/B split mode to run two separate sequences simultaneously, allowing for complex and nuanced rhythmic and melodic sequences to be created. The M185 also includes a range of features to aid in the creation and manipulation of sequences, including gate and CV outputs, clock in and out, and voltage-controlled probability for each step. With its compact size and user-friendly interface, the RYK Modular M185 Sequencer is an excellent choice for both live performance and studio use.

The RYK Modular M185 Sequencer is an ideal choice for those who require a high level of control over their sequences. The module's flexible design allows for the creation of complex sequences that can be easily manipulated in real-time, making it a powerful tool for live performance. Additionally, the M185's advanced features, such as probability control and programmable gate patterns, make it a valuable addition to any modular synthesizer system.

The RYK Modular M185 Sequencer appeals as a hands-on performance-orientated module for the easy
creation of complex melodic sequences.

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

The complete kit for Eurorack includes all parts:

2xPCBs, a high-quality panel, pots, knobs, switches, jack sockets, and all sundry components.

The kit is quite complex and is not for the inexperienced builder.
