RYK Modular - M185 Sequencer


video by SchneidersLaden

"The RYK M185 Sequencer rethinks the concept of 8-step sequencers by adding different options for how every single stage behaves – it can be handled to program ratcheting, short or long gates, pauses or repeats and the like. So, allowing each step to be repeated by up to 8 times and additionally defining how this repetition will be executed, really opened up the initial concept of a simple 8-step sequencer. Each step can perform 8 unique gate modes for creative rhythmic possibilities: off, one gate on first repetition, gate on every second/third/forth repetition, probability, tied gate. If you set the sequence length to 16 or 32 for example, you can fill these steps with unique patterns in no time.

With the addition of A/B split mode for two separate sequences and implementing MIDI I/O the concept of this sequencer was taken even further. Especially its MIDI capabilities qualify this module to be used with all kinds of synthesizers in your studio, not only your modular.

This video shows you example sequences made with the M185 and some parts show you the process of programming simple to complex sequences. This is a very hands-on module with great potential for creating new ideas quickly and it seems to be ideal for live performances with a tendency to improvisation."

M185 software step sequencer - work in progress


YouTube via dnigrin | January 28, 2011 |

"New software step sequencer, inspired by Ryk's M185 hardware DIY sequencer. Built with Cycling 74's Max/MSP. Work in progress, not done yet..."

Update via Dan on the AH list:
"To address the avalanche of questions I've gotten since -- fueled by the success of my software Klee (http://defectiverecords.com/klee), this is a software recreation of a step sequencer inspired by RYK's M-185 hardware DIY step sequencer - some examples and more info:

http://sys100m.org/viewtopic.php?t=154&sid=539defbded7364e82a6678c84f35daca
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK1PoQffhjk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swi2fNeNCuE

Basically, this sequencer works by advancing the pattern through (up to) 8 stages. Each stage can have have anywhere from 1 to 8 clock pulses that are advanced through. Each stage has a note value. The stage operates in 1 of 4 possible gate modes: Mute, Single, Multi, and Held. In mute mode, the stage is silent for however many clocks it is set for. In single mode, the note triggers for the first clock of the stage, and then it is silent for the remainder of clocks (if any) in the stage. In multi mode, the note is retriggered for each clock of the stage. Finally, in held mode, a single note is held for the duration of all of the clock pulses of the stage.

As Mark Rivera said a while back on AH, the M185 is "... the only alternate concept to x0x, knob-row, and arpeggiator styles. It's all three but none of them?"

That's the basic idea. Of course, there's details - you can change the clock pulses from anywhere between whole notes to 1/32nd notes. You can change the gate duration times. You can change the direction of the sequence through the stages - forward, backward, ping pong, and random. You can control the total number of clock pulses in a pattern, irrespective of the number of stages.

The software version will have most of the features of the hardware sequencer, plus more (still being finalized!). It will work with MIDI rather than control voltages/triggers. It will send MIDI to any MIDI device (hardware or software), and will work with either an internal clock or MIDI clock. It can also host a VST instrument plugin. It will save and load presets.

Mac and PC, cheap like all of my software. I hope to have it ready within the next 1-2 months, real life notwithstanding!

Dan"

M-185 DIY Sequencer

via Skrog Productions on electro-music.com

Note this is a custom panel for the M185 Roland System 100m style DIY sequencer. A search on M185 will bring up more posts including video.

Note search is being finicky again. A search on M-185 brought up zero results using Blogger search on the top left of the site. A search on M185 does bring up results. There is also a Google site search box towards the bottom right of the site which brings up more posts, but they come up in Google link style results vs. bringing up the full posts like Blogger search. Always use both if you don't find what you are looking for.

m185 first power up


YouTube Uploaded by sduck409 on Jun 4, 2011

"This didn't quite work out like I planned - the batteries died in my little flip camera before I was done. Instead of redoing the video and recreating the event, you get to see the actual first power up of my new sequencer. Whats missing is a bunch of other tests and such, and as far as I can tell everything works! This is a great sequencer designed by Ryk, built with a panel from The Beast (Julian) in the UK."

Roland inspired modular sequencer. There is a software version of the m185 as well. A search on M185 brings up more. See this post for pics of one in the classic Roland System 100m design.
