3 Reasons Why Random Voltages are ACE!! // RANDOM8 from Mylar Melodies & Befaco
video upload by DivKid
"Here's a 3 patches series video that distils down many of the reasons I think random voltages are ace to just 3 examples. It's also a bit of a quick demo of the fantastic new RANDOM8, your new random mate from your pal and mine Mylar Melodies (and Befaco)."
*TIMING INDEX // CHAPTERS*
00:00 Hello & previews
00:50 What is Random8 & what are we doing here?
3 PATCHES WITH INCREASING AMOUNTS OF RANDOM
Patch 1 // Random for people that don’t like random (fools!)
02:58 Adding exciting movement to basic synth voices
Patch 2 // Looping random for melodies & riffs
07:17 Looping melodies & modulation for techno jams
Patch 3 // Embrace the random - let the random enter you, be you, surround you
14:54 Generative ambient Krell
THIS VIDEO IS NOT SPONSORED BY ANYONE I was sent the module by Mylar Melodies & Befaco to use as I like but they did not pay for, or have any say in this video. Any questions as always, just ask, clarity is always best."
A demo of RANDOM8: The world's most random module?
video upload by mylarmelodies
"Here's a demo of RANDOM8 (which is out now!) - it gives you 8 stepped or smooth random voltages in 8HP, with per channel looping & attenuator controls, pitch quantiser & more. It's designed to make your modular sound more alive & I designed it in collaboration with Befaco. First I'll explain it (2:33), then we'll Rings in to Clouds it (17:07), then we'll make drums and techno with it (27:42).
I managed to forget to show you how to reset channels to default settings! Just hold the channel button(s) down for 5 seconds. To reset all 8 channels, hold the top and bottom channels for 5 seconds."

Introducing RANDOM8: 8 Looping Random Voltages in 8HP
video upload by mylarmelodies and Befacosynth
"**OUT JUNE 15TH - MORE INFO HERE & DEALERS: https://www.befaco.org/random8 ** 🙌 HELLO M8! Please meet the module I've been making with Befaco! 🟠RANDOM8 is a random voltage generator designed bring a whole modular to life, in the smallest possible space. You get 8 independent random voltage generators, with dedicated per-channel looping buttons and attenuators, in just 8HP(!) It's what I've wished I could have in my live modular for a long time - a stupid amount of per-step modulation in a small space, yet you can control the looping instantly.
RANDOM8 is previewing at the Superbooth 2026 show in Berlin May 7-9 2026, and in dealer hands for sale on June 15th. Visit Befaco's tent at Z180 to give it a squiggle!
There is a limited batch to start with and more will follow. Thank you, M8s."

AN UNEXPECTED PATH FORWARD
Labyrinth introduces a classic West Coast sound into the Mother Ecosystem experience rich analog synthesizer history in both surprising and recognizable sonic textures. Two generative sequencers bring to life sounds that bloom over time, letting you control their evolution and scale, then play them off of each other for striking polymetric melodies.
With parallel analog signal paths, this adventurous instrument shines when adding color to the steady backdrop of a drum pattern or bassline.
GENERATIVE SEQUENCER
The beating heart of Labyrinth is a robust dual sequencer, which uses chance calculations to generate two unique eight-step paths which twist and curve around one another.
SONIC WANDERING
A parallel voice processing path with a voltage-controlled blending allows you to morph sounds over time.
VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED WAVEFOLDER
A fresh interpretation of the Moog sound via a voltage-controlled wavefolder. Two oscillators drive duophonic melodic counterpoints, metallic FM tones, and analog synthetic drums.
Moog's semi-modular lineup expands to include the Labyrinth, a generative synthesizer that brings you two parallel sequencers, two oscillators, and endless possibilities. Based around a core sine VCO and a triangle Mod VCO, these sound sources have independent level controls, as well as a Ring Mod and Noise level control that all feed a saturating mixer that can add a touch or grit. From the mixer, we have the switchable option to go into a voltage controllable wave folder then into a classic Moog filter, the opposite with our filter going into the wave folder, or have both of these run in parallel.The heart of the Labyrinth is the sequencer section. A dual 8-step sequencer gives you interactive quantized melodies that can affect various parameters, based on the labeled trimmers. These sequencers send out both notes CV and triggers and with a Trig Mix you can get rhythmic interplay that is quite satisfying. Each sequencer has a Length settings and a Bit Shift when adjusts the position of activated steps. The Bit Flip and Corrupt parameters present gives you more randomness and serendipity allowing you to create evolving patterns.
As with all of their semi-modular synths, Moog gives you access to 32 patch point patchbay with 12 outputs and 20 inputs. This gives you the option to self-patch and integrate it into your existing Eurorack ecosystem. Moog's Labyrinth is the perfect expansion to your existing system or a great starting point as an entry to modular synthesis, especially for those who are looking to get expressive rhythmic patterns quickly.
