Music Generated by IOLabs Flux for Sequential Prophet 10


video upload by Friendly Noise

"Flux is an incredible rhythm generating machine, but it can also make repetitive or evolving melodies. All melodies in the video are generated in real time by Flux. I used the Befaco VCMC voltage to midi converter to translate the analog triggers and voltages generated by Flux into midi messages that the Prophet 10 can understand.

On Mordax Data’s display you can follow the note triggering, with lower notes in the upper lane and progressively higher notes showing in the other three lanes.

Some delay and reverb were added in the DAW after recording."

New Motion MTR Eurorack Module From Befaco & Molten Modular


Molten Motion Meter Overview video upload by Molten Music Technology

"A quick overview of the Molten Motion Meter designed by myself and Befaco Modular. It's a visualiser of voltage and a seer of signals. It's a VU meter and CV attenuator, it can mix and offset and looks lovely in a rack.

https://www.befaco.org/motion_mtr/"

Molten Modular - My first Eurorack module launch show!

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Join me to explore my first Eurorack module - it's a beautiful and exciting thing! Designed in collaboration with Befaco, and Manu will be joining me to talk about the process and how it all works. It's not complicated; it's a simple and useful module that I hope will bring joy to every modular user.

The module will become available to buy during the live stream in assembled and kit form. An overview video and DIY build video will appear after the live stream.

Divkid also has a video:"

Audio & CV VISUALISED I love a Eurorack utility! // Motion Meter (MTR) from Molten Modular & Befaco
video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new Motion MTR Eurorack module from Molten Modular (Molten Music Technology, Robin Vincent) and Befaco. The Motion MTR is your classic modular synth utility provided attenuation, inversion, offset voltages and mixing with the addition of lots of blinking lights!

More than a pretty light show the LED rings work as a VU meter (audio mode) or CV monitor and show your input voltages so you can better trace a patch, track down that feedback getting out of hand, or simply stared at blinky lights because secretly we all want out modulars to look like Christmas tree. They look great and perform well as you’ll see in the video.

MOTION MTR

CV AND AUDIO UTILITY / REALTIME VISUALIZER

Motion MTR allow you to mix, attenuate and invert signals while having clear visual feedback of their levels. Each channel can function as:
Audio level control with VU meter
CV attenuator with voltage meter
CV inverter with voltage meter
Each input is normalled to 10v, so you can
use each of them to generate fixed voltages.
Also, the outputs of channels 1 and 2 are summed into Out 3 to be used as a mixer.
Patch it wildly to make it work as an attenuverter with offset, as a mixer, a VU meter or a combination of them all!

This module is our first collaboration with Robin Vincent from Molten modular.

2022/07 - Korg SQ-1 and Moog Subharmonicon


video upload by Stereoping

"A song trying to bring the #Korg #SQ-1 and the #Moog #Subharmonicon together in a musical context. More or less successful :-) The Subharmonicons VCOs 1&2 are playing their sequences and are being additionally transposed by the CV outs of line 1&2 from the Korg. Two trigger clocks (16th and a rhythm) are manually 'faded' with a Befaco Morphader and advancing the Korg & Moog together. Additional players: bArp2600 (melody), TD-3, Maxikorg and Subsequent37 (Bass). Everything held together by 4 different rhythms: Volca Drum, MPC1000, Drumkid (triggering another 8bit drumbox) and the Alesis HR16 with custom EPROMs.

Right behind: a bonus track! The raw first (tape!) recording of the musical idea one week earlier. Somehow i like it better, unfortunately i could not reproduce the SQ1 and Harmonicum settings any more. Which do you prefer?"

Befaco AC/DC, interfaz de audio Eurorack


video upload by Hispasonic

"Befaco estuvo un año más presente en la Superbooth de Berlín, esta vez con una propuesta mucho menos analógica que de costumbre: AC/DC, una interfaz de audio acoplada en continua, en formato Eurorack.

AC/DC se basa en la plataforma OWL de Rebel Technology, y aquí reside probablemente su mayor atractivo. Permite enviar y recibir tanto CV como audio a 16 bits/48 KHz, así como cargar patches de la librería de Rebel. Es compatible con los DAW y generadores de CV más populares, y también sirve como procesador de audio/CV para aplicaciones iOS."

Googlish:

"Befaco was once again present at the Berlin Superbooth, this time with a much less analog proposal than usual: AC/DC, a continuously coupled audio interface in Eurorack format.

AC/DC is based on Rebel Technology's OWL platform, and this is probably its biggest draw. It allows you to send and receive both CV and 16-bit/48KHz audio, as well as load patches from the Rebel library. It is compatible with most popular DAWs and CV generators, and also serves as an audio/CV processor for iOS apps."

Superbooth 22: Befaco ACDC USB 4x4 Audio Interface


video upload by sonicstate

"Pretty simple this new module from Befaco - the ACDC USB module adds 4 in 4 out:

Befaco's AC/DC is a class compliant USB audio interface module connecting your modular system to your favorite DAW or audio software. DC-coupled for CV and audio transfer, the AC/DC inputs and outputs four channels of hi-fidelity signals sporting up to 16-bit and 48kHz based upon Rebel Technology's hardware platform. With an expansion to go beyond its base functionality thanks to the Rebel Technology's OWL platform compatibility, the AC/DC brings quality interfacing with any computer to your modular system."

New Divkid Stereo Strip - A Channel Strip For Eurorack

STEREO STRIP // Stereo processing for Eurorack with EQ, CV pan, VCA and more

NEW DIVKID MODULE!!! video upload by DivKidVideo

"I’m proud to present to you STEREO STRIP. My next module made in collaboration with Befaco. Stereo Strip is a stereo EQ, VCA, panner, distortion, mute & line level input and/or output interface for external gear.

Stereo Strip builds upon the well trodden paths of studio channel strips expanding them for musical and creative modular use with voltage control. Simply try swapping out simple VCAs for Stereo Strip to enhance your patches with EQ and voltage controlled panning. Or get creative and check out the patches below for highly shapeable distortion hacks, mind bending stereo ring modulation, CV routing, feedback waveshaping and more."

Divkid Stereo Strip - A Channel Strip For Eurorack
video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Matthew (aka EZBOT) shares an overview and demo of the Divkid and Befaco collaboration, Stereo Strip.

Stereo Strip takes the idea of a channel strip and makes it modular. We hope that by bringing this long-established component of the audio engineering world into the Eurorack environment and by adding CV control over its key parameters that you will find new, creative ways to use it in your patches!

It features stereo inputs and outputs for audio or CV with EQ, voltage controlled panning, stereo VCA, performable mute and input/output level switching for Eurorack or line level uses. Abusing the input level switching allows for some musical, modulate-able and highly shapeable distortion sounds too.

Stereo Strip was designed to be a creative part of a modular patch. Creating
stereo images from mono sources, shaping and modulating existing stereo
images, synthesising stereo pseudo ring modulation, sweetening FX with EQ or drastically wave shaping your oscillators, creating send FX routings with benefits or it can simply be used as a channel strip at the end of chain in a patch.

The addition of line level gain boosting (for the input) or reduction (for the output) allow it to work as a stereo input or output interface for external gear with the advantage of the VCA, panning and the EQ to shape the sound. Experiment with bringing external gear into the Eurorack format and then shape and modulate those sounds them on the way in!

Try patching Stereo Strip anywhere you would place a VCA in a system and/or explore its EQ and voltage controlled panning, which are rarer additions to the sound sculpting options for the Eurorack format.

Offgrid Shuffle in Eurorack: LoFi Hiphop with Stolperbeats


video upload by Making Sound Machines

"Here's a modular lofi hiphop patch that came out so leftfield it was too fun not to share! It's built around #Stolperbeats and Befaco's fantastic Percall Quad Drum VCA, with Stolperbeats sequencing the shuffled gates and a wooden baseboard amplified and routed through our #TausenddB and #Multiplikand patched as a texture control.

Stolperbeats, 'beats tripping over themselves' in German, is our upcoming drum trigger sequencer designed to create shuffled beats influenced by artists like Flying Lotus, Hiatus Kaiyote and J Dilla. We really love those beats and used to reconstruct them for our tracks in the DAW, so we ended up digging deep into the techniques how real-life drummers like Questlove from The Roots or Perrin Moss from Hiatus Kaiyote play these shuffles.

This patch is almost a little hack as it uses Stolperbeats' clock outputs as a musical signal. Subdiv outputs the swung clock or a related set of tuplet subdivisions, perfect for syncing up cartesian sequencers like Make Noise Rene that advance one step per clock tick. Sync plays a straight unswung metronome ranging from once every four bars to 24 ppq, great for keeping a Delay or LFO in time.

Here, Stolperbeats' clock signals are patched to trigger Percall's VCA envelopes, shaping the sounds picked up from the board with piezo contact mics, and creating groove from the offset flams of the shuffled and straight clocks. Enrica is performing the drum rolls by changing the subdivisions on the fly. It's all held together by the lovely blips from Winterbloom 's Juno-inspired DCO Castor & Pollux on kick and a Patching Panda Hatz patch on snare duty.

We'll be showcasing this setup tonight at Muelheim Modular's lovely synth shop in Köln Mülheim. It's part of Mülheimer Nacht 2022 so if you're in Cologne, swing by and say hi! You will be able to try out the patches and modules hands-on. If you want to build our synth #DIY kits, we're hosting a workshop at Superbooth in Berlin, 13.05.2022, 17:00. If you are unable to make it to Berlin, kits are available at Muelheim Modular and Exploding Shed (EU), Thonk (UK) and dsp.coffee (US), or visit our website and mail us directly."

"In this patch, we route a synth voice using This is Not Rocket Science's Eurorack utility module Ardabil. We’re sequencing a Befaco evenVCO with This Is Not Rocket Science's Tuesday, and using their Edgecutter as an envelope. We then add some movement, transposing the sequence with XOR Freestylo. Finally, we add vibrato using TiNRS Wobbler complex LFO."
