RYO Paths

Name: Paths
Brand: RYO

A Cycling Sequential Switch

8 HP Eurorack module

Paths is a 4:4 cycling sequential switch for routing audio, CV, gates, or triggers through four commonly controlled signal paths.

Features

Simultaneous forward/reverse stepping, hold, reset, and voltage-controlled routing.
Four commonly controlled bidirectional switches with shared inputs and outputs.
Clockable at very high rates and usable for audio-rate CV waveshaping.

Controls & Jacks (26)

Forward Step— Manually advances the sequence one step forward in Clocked mode.
Reset— Manually returns the sequence to step 1.
Hold— Manually holds the current routing.
Step 4— Indicates that routing step 4 is active.
Reverse Step— Manually advances the sequence one step in reverse in Clocked mode.
Step 3— Indicates that routing step 3 is active.
REV Clock/CV Input— Advances the routing one step in reverse per pulse in Clocked mode; in CV mode, this input is full-wave rectified and contributes to CV step
I/O 2— Bidirectional signal terminal 2; its connection to the O/I terminals changes with the active step.
FWD Clock/CV Input— Advances the routing one step forward per pulse in Clocked mode; in CV mode, this input is half-wave rectified and contributes to CV step se
Reset Input— Trigger input that returns the sequence to step 1.
Step 2— Indicates that routing step 2 is active.
O/I 2— Bidirectional counterpart for signal path 2; it is connected to I/O 2 at step 1, then to successive I/O paths as the sequence advances.
I/O 1— Bidirectional signal terminal 1; its connection to the O/I terminals changes with the active step.
Hold Input— Gate input that holds the current routing.
I/O 3— Bidirectional signal terminal 3; its connection to the O/I terminals changes with the active step.
O/I 1— Bidirectional counterpart for signal path 1; it is connected to I/O 1 at step 1, then to successive I/O paths as the sequence advances.
I/O 4— Bidirectional signal terminal 4; its connection to the O/I terminals changes with the active step.
O/I 3— Bidirectional counterpart for signal path 3; it is connected to I/O 3 at step 1, then to successive I/O paths as the sequence advances.
O/I 4— Bidirectional counterpart for signal path 4; it is connected to I/O 4 at step 1, then to successive I/O paths as the sequence advances.
Step 1— Indicates that routing step 1 is active.
Reverse Step Indicator— Front-panel indicator above the Reverse Step button.
Forward Step Indicator— Front-panel indicator above the Forward Step button.
Hold Indicator— Front-panel indicator above the Hold button.
Clock/CV Mode— Selects Clocked mode or CV mode. In CV mode, the step-count selector and red function buttons are inactive, and the FWD and REV inputs selec
Reset Indicator— Front-panel indicator above the Reset button.
Steps— Selects a two-, three-, or four-step cycle; reverse operation uses the module's documented reset behavior to retain useful reverse patterns.
