FM & VECTOR SYNTHESIS

TWO ICONS OF THE '80S IN ONE UNIT

Introducing the new Vector Wave from RYK Modular bringing together the awesome power of 16 oscillator FM, combined with Vector synthesis or true multi voice polyphony.

The Vector Wave is a feature packed compact Eurorack module, which can be used as a stand alone synth-voice without the need for external VCA,ENV, LFOs etc

FEATURES

16 oscillators, divided into 4 banks, oscillators can freely configured into series or parallel combinations for complex FM or additive synthesis

A cute Vector Joystick for morphing between oscillator banks, for cool performance timbre sweeps and sonic movement
Vectors can be recorded from the joystick and replayed from trigger sources, or animated from external or internal modulation sources

Super cool retro Big-Pixel screen, ideal for nostalgia freaks or the visually impaired

Wave Warping brings grit and aggression to the FM synthesis with oscillators continuously variable between Sine,Tri-ish Saw, Pulse waveforms

Wave Folding for subtle to extreme sonic bending

Two Envelope generators (per voice in polyphonic modes), and two LFOs with all controls assignable as modulation destinations

Intuitive Modulation Slot patching from external and internal sources to be routed to any parameter within the Vector Wave

30 User Voice storage spaces for storing your synth masterpieces to internal memory, enabling you to impress your friends at a later date

Thee modes of oscillator bank allocation Monophonic Vector, and Polyphonic Voice, and Multitimbral Polyphonic

MIDI input for a spaghetti-free Polyphonic setup, velocity, aftertouch and MIDI CCs avail- able as modulation sources

Slim but handsome Expander Module also available that adds 3 more V/oct and Gate inputs, for maximum mutli-voice multitimbral melodious mayhem !

This goes on the “f*ck it, I’ll get it” list. Have the RYK Modular M185 and it’s an absolute beauty.

RYK’s module designs are really stunning. This one is not an exception

Yeah, this looks sick. I’ve been looking for a good FM synth in euro and haven’t found one that works for me yet, so I’m very excited about it!

This looks cool.

Did anyone try this. There is surprisingly few videos available on YouTube.

I’ve got one. Love how it sounds. At times I’m reminded of the 4ms Ensemble Osc, but polyphonic or multitimbral. Though it’s certainly much more flexible. The menu system takes a bit to get used to, but it is quick.

I do wish there were more modulation slots in the mod matrix. With a recent update, I think it’s up to 6 from 4, but those run out rather quickly considering that’s also where external CV and MIDI are assigned. And there are plenty of mod sources too, so it would benefit from having a full MIDI implementation or at least having enough mod slots for all the external CV and internal modulation options at the same time.

Yes!

Double-yes!

Triple-yes!

I‘m a sucker for vector synths and fm. This one ticks all the boxes. :top: :package:
