RYK Modular Timeslice

Four-track Eurorack looper, sampler, and FX processor

24 HP Eurorack module

Time Slice is a four-track audio looper, sampler, and FX processor for Eurorack that records audio to individual buffers which can be sliced, pitch-shifted, resampled, and manipulated with CV and MIDI. Each track features a full FX chain including pitch shift, tilt filter, delay, wave folder, decimator, and reverb, making it equally suited to live looping performance, granular texture creation, and multi-sample playback.

Features

  • Four independent audio tracks each with separate input, output, and audio buffer
  • Three loop styles: Retrospective (capture last phrase), DAW (timed pre-roll), BOSS (start/stop defined)
  • Per-track FX chain: low-latency Pitch Shifter, Tilt Filter, Delay, Wave Folder, Decimator, Reverb
  • Slices: divide loops into sub-sections and jump between them using CV or MIDI
  • Negative slice numbers allow jumping back in time before the loop was created
  • Slice Marker Mode: use embedded WAV file marker data as slice points
  • 1-Shot playback mode for traditional sampler behavior
  • Live loop mode for granular stutter and glitch effects from live audio
  • Pitch Lock for time-stretch effect independent of speed changes
  • XFADE crossfade control for smooth loop boundaries and 1-Shot decay
  • Sound-on-Sound overdubbing with configurable SOS MIX amount
  • Internal, External (analog), and MIDI clock sync
