The groovebox in your eurorack case: Befaco ARK

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Here's a simple intro to Befaco ARK - a 16 track Eurorack groovebox (the case shown here is an extra!) with samples, synth engines, Euclidean and random sequencing, and a chord/harmony track that your other tracks can follow. It sends and receives CV and MIDI (USB & 3.5mm), is a USB device host, and makes sound too. Here I build a groove from scratch to show basic track making - the tip of the iceberg!"

My FIRST PATCH with ARK // a whole modular music computer from Befaco & Tesseract

video upload by DivKid

"Here's our literal first patch play around with ARK from Befaco & Tesseract, a whole modular music production computer with drum synthesis, sample playing and slicing, multiple mono and poly synth voices, sequences, performance options, mixing FX and more ... it's a big crazy project I'm still getting a feel for. But given a couple of hours to play around, this is what it led to."
