Befaco

Notes: Each of the two sections of the module is capable of performing the analog multiplication of two signals (A and B) and add an offset (C). It can also act as a dual voltage controlled attenuverter, dual ring modulator, dual VCA or four channel mixer (see block diagram below).

The B inputs are routed to an attenuverter that multiplies the signal between -2 to 2, while the offset inputs (C) route through a unity gain attenuverter (multiplies the signal between -1 and 1).

The output of first section is routed to the output of the second (when the first's output is unused), so the second output can act as master to achieve (A1*B1+C1) + (A2*B2+C2) or (A1 + C1) + (A2 + C2) - a 4 channel mixer.

The through-zero (four-quadrant) multipliers in the A*B+C allow for true Ring Modulation. To achieve this, simply connect two waveforms to the A and B inputs.

Notes: Inamp is a dual pre-amp in just 4 HPs. Featuring 6,3 Jacks inputs as well as Minijacks.

Both inputs are summed so you can use them at the same time as an input mixer.

The unit is designed to amplify up to x20 the input signal, allowing to amplify most of the music machines out there (Domestic line levels) as well as some guitars (Humbucker-like pickups and so).

The first channel is normalled to second one in series, so it's possible to have two stages of amplification or two separate ones.

Notes: Combine up to four audio and or CV sources into one output, with independent manual level control.

It can be used as a four-channel mixer or as two separate two-channel mixers, depending on the connection.

If a cable is connected to the Master output but not to the 1+2 output, all channels will be summed at the Master output. If both the Master and 1+2 outputs are connected, the Master will output the mix of channels 3 and 4, while the 1+2 output will provide the mix of channels 1 and 2.

Each pair of channels has an LED indicator that shows the presence of a signal.

Notes: Befaco's new Output Module is designed to be the master output for your modular system, providing an extra Cue Input to monitor any signal.

Left IN is routed to both channels when no Right signal is present. Both Outputs are TRS balanced.

A Headphones out is available. You can route Headphone OUT to the main out or an independent signal with CUE switch. Like this you can either pre-listen your sounds with the CUE Input or listen to your main out without disturbing your neighbours!

Level LEDs are available to monitor levels of each signal on the module.

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

Specs

Current needs: +12V: 20mA, -12: 15mA, 5v:0 on additional rails
Width: 4 HP
Depth: 25 mm (including power connector)
Designed, kits prepared and modules assembled in Barcelona

Notes: An accurate Manual Voltage Source.

Voltio fits somewhere between a music tool and a piece of electronics lab gear.

It generates voltages equivalent to all the notes on the 12-tone equal temperament scale throughout a ten-octave range, with an intuitive two-knob interface.

The Precision Adder In, lets you sum Voltio's Out with external voltages.

Additionally, the front panel banana connectors let you plug standard multimeter probes for hands-free operation on electronics lab.

Use it to transpose Oscillators and sequences in a musical way or as a reference to calibrate your analogue gear.

Features:

Easily adjust your oscillators in known intervals.
Transpose Musical phrases from sequencers, arpeggiators, or any other notes source.
Calibrate oscillators and filters on your DIY projects or during analogue gear maintenance.
