RYK Vector Wave Synth Module Review 

Editing Jeremy’s “voices” are just what today needed.

I’ve had the kit loaded in my cart for a while. I knew I would enjoy it, but it really helps to have a solid walkthrough like this. Now I’m certain. Thanks, Jeremy

Ouh ever since I saw it on your instagram I was waiting for a deep dive by you! Glad it's finally here

been waiting for your take on this thing. exactly the same experience as far as not reaching for it simply because its a little more in depth. Stoked to get inspired to dive into it a bit more after this!

Beautiful and trippy space paintings as baffles in your studio? Brilliant!

Wonderful module, been using it for a few months, it's so deep but also easy to use (once you learn how to read the display). Much to explore with it.

I have the vector wave. It doesn’t feel all that complicated or hard to grasp once you play with it for a bit. It’s similar to a digitone in that you have a 4-op FM synth x 4. You can use that to create a single 4-voice patch, 4 monophonic fm lines, or a single monophonic voice where you can morph between each bank. I will say though, coming from the digitone I was a little underwhelmed by the FM engine in this module. Most of the basics are there but some things missing such as oscillator feedback. I also wish the midi implementation didn’t require you to use up your mod slots (you only get 6 per patch).

The first voices overdub killed me. I’ve been eyeing this up for a while and you’ve just convinced me to press buy. Love that they sell it as a DIY kit too! Will be spending an afternoon next week with the soldering iron out 🤝

Your dogs are cute! Also love the patchwerks plate! That store slaps!

Didn’t know it existed, now I need one, the diy kit appeals

One of the things I really like with the RYK is that theres a DIY project. It is pretty complex but you can save some money. If i ever build out a eurorack system this will be in it

I had this for many many months and couldn't get it to make anything that wasn't a wall of noise

I think I have to agree on the desktop module. It draws heavily on menu diving. Would love something closer to a kpf config. Nice review, awesome sounds as usual!

I love the jam with the !VOICES! at 11:17!

Thank you for the vid-E. Love the final track… reminds me of some BOC.

Also, would be great to see a video from you on FM!

That little pod setup looks like a good rig for doing sponsored content, should a sponsor want their product shown on its own, and not around "competitors". (I don't get the feeling that module makers are like this though). It certainly does make the module stand out, vs in your big rack. Cheeky wink at the Patchwerks blank in there too. Flash forward: It's the year 2055, and Jeremy's relieving Andrew Huang on the ISS (International Synth Station), in orbit, bunch of stickers all over the exterior, like nascar. Interior view: Joysticks, speakers, and modules stuck to every surface.

Man this thing looks and sounds so cool. I have joked for some time that I'm only a minor midlife crisis away from getting into modular and stuff like this is making it even more difficult not to go down the rabbit hole...

Whatever the die-with-laughter version of a jump-scare is, that's what the Editing Jeremy's "voices" are

Oh dear, am I going to want one of these now. HAI ECHO!

If'n folks want to play with a free vector synth module, Detour by Hora in VCV rack is awesome. Whole bunch of cool stuff in it, with a pile of CV inputs, and a fancy pants graphical screen. Looking at it, I figure a hardware version would be an easy grand.

I wish there was a way to export/import patches.

Thank you for the video, Jeremy. Been looking for a while for a relatively cost-efficient oscillator to finish out my eurorack keyboard. This seems to be the one. Time to save some shekels.

Top good ! You know, to wish, to get and to assess according to compare where, when and how much.

enjoyed the tuning wonkage

I saw the Patchworks Seattle sticker are in you in Seattle? Maybe I could take a couple classes. Great vid as usual will there be a Sample pack of the Vector Wave on your Patreon?

beautiful shepherds 😍

Jeremy, all good dude, thanks for the explanations at the the start BUT i think you enough believers in you to see past mis-wording... Personally at least, (I've probably 20 years or more less experience than you,*but*), I've jagged do much and love your delivery in the uploads! You keep teaching me shit! To date, my most favourite video you did was on the internet archive samples, but I've found *a lot* more from you too! TBF, only been exposed to your channel for 18 months??? I've so many channels that get Australian generated, however, you've (thanks to the RU-vid gods) still remained in my bed and I've freaking learned some sh... From you!!!. Awesome sh...... Eet! In particularly interested in more M8 and MPC One, even pocket operators, especially linking between them all, only if you are short on upload ideas, otherwise i an here to enjoy your expertise! So glad i found your channel a while back. Enjoyed since and not going anywhere either! Keep up the great work (if you can: but you're a natural for this, that's why we are here!)

11:17 was out of nowhere awesome. That ruled

I would like to watch more content of your dogs and your music. Just dogs and music. Thanks.

can we get a 20 minute video of the pups someday

Does anyone have investigate the midi CCs mapping? I wonder if it's possible to use a midi controler with the V.Wave?

All that funky deep stuff is fine and well. But you know what is even more important: both the module and the expander are odd size. So they add up to be an even 20 hp.

The init patch sounds way better than the init patch on the digitone imo. I love playing the joystick and envelope live.. it's a great voice!

7:50 fuck me this sounds good. nostalgia for a PS1 RPG I've never played ❤❤

Yamaha TG33 (+/- a few features) in 20hp. Wow. I want the complete RYK lineup, but should probably just use my TG33 more...

Wow the pupper is growing fast!

i was expecting "Paging Mr. Herman" but got something much funnier

If you didn't mention the voices v oscillators thing in the intro, I think I wouldn't have noticed.

Very powerful module, but I think the Bastl Pizza is enough FM for my modular.

They shoulda called it The Submarine. Dive, Dive, Dive

Hi Echo 🙋🏼‍♂

Hi Echo!

I swear I am going to hallucinate a disembodied God like voice that will declare "Voice".... at unpredictable random moments!

Thanks for the demo, but I think packing so much functionality in such a small form factor is a wrong idea. Can it be useful to someone who has enough time to dive deep into that interface? Sure. With today's technology, it's possible to go even further, but in my humble opinion, that's not what modular synthesis should be about. There are polyphonic oscillators for Eurorack, but much simpler and more friendly.

Did “voices” have to be in Comic Sans?

I thought the second face in the thumbnail was John McAfee.

All Hail Echo

Knightrider module!!!

Cool but not for me for my modular synth. I agree that it might make a good desktop synth.

Voicilater

Compelling

Is it just me or am I hearing voices

Dear god this looks like a bottomless pit of complexity. And i thought the ornament & crime learning curve was tough.

I’ll pass. But I’ve already got a bunch of oscillators- and two voices!- so I’m cool.
