Rodec M-110 Sidestepper Analog Stereo Gater/Ducker

100 series analog stereo gater/ducker with built-in step sequencer sidechain programmer.

Dynamic Pattern Sequencing

Take total command of your stereo image with the integrated digital step sequencer. Unlike standard duckers, this module lets you program custom patterns that drive the all-analog ducking and gating circuits. With pattern lengths from 1 to 16 steps, you can easily create complex polyrhythmic textures against standard time signatures. Combined with per-step length control, shuffle, and a built-in randomizer, the rhythmic possibilities are virtually limitless.

Pure Analog Signal Path

Experience the warmth and headroom of a fully analog VCA circuit. Whether you're pumping a synth pad or gating a noise floor, the module offers precise control via dedicated Attack, Decay, Threshold, and Depth knobs. Trigger the circuit via the internal sequencer, an external analog sidechain signal, or the main audio itself. The external input features a built-in filter, letting the module react exclusively to specific frequencies — like the punch of a kick drum or the snap of a snare.

Pro Sync & Creative Routing

Designed for the modern studio and the stage, the module stays perfectly in time via MIDI or audio PPQN sync. For more reactive performances, the sequencer can be set to "One-Shot" mode, triggering a single cycle only when an incoming audio signal hits your defined threshold. The unique Mix function sums the sidechain trigger and the main audio at the output — a quick way to check your timing or create layered, rhythmic soundscapes.
