Via the Muffwiggler chat we got acquainted with hobby electronics interested Tom who have a long history with using modular and other synths as a musician and over time the ideas and plans for a company started to grow.
The company was officially launched in the Spring of 2013, here in Gothenburg, Sweden. Andreas is the main driving force of the company keeping the administration in check as well as building instructions, research, circuit and PCB designs, building/kitting modules and more. My work involves most of the front panel designs and building/kitting modules. Tom is involved in doing research, circuit designs and support. None of us are working full
time with RYO yet.
I really like your VC Seq module in 10HP it's a nice compact module
that's just the right size to jam on for me. People may have seen the
second video I created using two of the sequencers and expanders
together, can you tell us anymore about further expansion for
chaining modules?
Thanks! Yeah the VC Sequencer has quite a journey of redesigns and
revisions. It started out as the idea of something really simple but fun and interesting as a concept, basically only 8 steps and the voltage controlled mode. Soon after development of that had begun we looked into the idea of having a more classic clock mode also to make it a bit more versatile and usable in more traditional sequencing applications.

Rather than just add a load of links at the end I thought a better approach would be to tell you what you'll get at each link. YouTube is probably how you've come about the whole DivKid thing through the video demos. Vine has odd bits of 6 second loops with modular and studio footage. Twitter is great for generally catching our attention with odd bits of content. Soundcloud has a lot of our old music on (it's in need of an update). Instagram has content posted pretty much daily (often more) with video and images of music we're working on and modular content. Facebook is probably best to actually chat to us properly. And finally Patreon is our crowd support site for those that want to support the work that goes into the videos.
