Befaco

Notes: Voltage-controlled lag processor and slope detector

Transforms stepped notes into smooth acid slides with independent speeds for both upper and lower notes.

The onboard slope detector generates gates while the output is rising or falling, allowing events to be activated when moving to upper or lower voltages.

Additionally, it can convert a gate signal into an Attack-Sustain-Release (ASR) envelope.

The shape control feature helps balance speed versus input range, enabling quicker speed while sliding to further notes allowing for time compensated portamento.

Features

Perfect pitch tracking (error < 1 mV)
Independent rise and fall controls
Assignable CV input for rise and fall times
Three selectable speed ranges
Fader-based interface allows for one-handed adjustment of rise and fall times
