- Page 3 RYK MODULAR ALGO USER MANUAL V1 ALGO is a QUAD COMPLEX OSCILLATOR BANK, capable of deep algorithmic FM sound generation. OSC1 LEVEL OSC2 LEVEL OSC3 LEVEL OSC4 LEVEL PUSH TO TOGGLE ALGORITHM MODES OVERVIEW ALGO'S FOUR OSCILLATORS can be configured in series or parallel combinations, to create COMPLEX FM or additive sound textures.
- Page 4 metric and Soft Clip ! A Global Detune control with CV input is great for speading out the oscillators to create Netflix apocalypse style drones that descend into the abyss. Lastly an onboard Stereo Chorus can add a vivacious 1980's shimmer to all your FM creations. Oh, and It's stereo ! TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Frequency range...
- Page 5 Only the carrier oscillators are sent to the main output, modulation oscillators are not audible. The oscillators in ALGO are configured to act as modulation oscillators or carrier oscillators, depending on the chosen ALGORITHM.
- Page 6 OSCILLATORS AND ALGORITHMS Each oscillator has a control for it's FREQUENCY [ larger knob ], and a control for it's output LEVEL [ trimmer knob ]. NU FUNCTION [ CHORD # ] DESTINATION CHORD MODE ONLU BANK[S] When a BLANK ALGORITHM [ no RED LEDs lit ] is selected, we can hear all of the oscillators.
- Page 7 oscillators 2&4 they are connected to. Make sure that the XM knob is turned up a little to hear the affect for the modulation. Increasing the LEVEL of a modulation oscillator increases the richness of the sound, think of it a bit like increasing the cutoff...
- Page 8 Oscillator 3 and Oscillator 4 ENV/LFO CONTROLS Pushing the RANGE button cycles through the five octave ranges of the Algo module. [ see also Expert Features ] Pushing the ALGO button cycles through the nine FM algorithms that indicate how the oscillators are connected.
- Page 9 XM CV input. WAVE WARP - The oscillators in Algo are Sine wave based, by utilising the Wave Warp control or Warp CV these can be warped towards Triangle, Sawtooth and Pulse.
- Page 10 WAVE FOLD - Wave folding creates multiple harmonics from the base sine wave by folding the peaks of the wave back inwards. Increasing the Fold control or Fold CV increases the amount of harmonic overtones. If no jack is inserted into the Fold CV input, this control sets the global amount of Wave Fold applied to the oscillator.

modulate the Detune amount [ DT ]. Also can be used as a SYNC input to reset the phase of all the oscillators. This can be useful for reducing clicks when playing low frequency basslines etc. To toggle between these modes, , push and hold the button whilst inserting a jack into the socket. - Page 12 Full anticlockwise is [ Left ], full clockwise is [ Right ] After setting the PAN, remember to return the LEVEL knob to your desired position for Level AFTER you have released the button. - M1-M4 Optional Function Normally the Algo M1-M4 inputs default to Amplitude...

M4 to toggle this input to a global VCA CV input. This is indicated by a Green LED next to the Oscillator 4 Level Control. This allows CV level control of the main output of Algo, for use with an envelope etc. FIRMWARE UPDATES The firmware for ALGO from time to time may be... - Page 14 Power up the module first. Push and hold the 'firmware' button on the back, then press the 'reset' button once, whilst still holding the 'firmware' button. Release the 'firmware' button. Plug a USB B cable from the module to a computer, without using a USB hub.
