I sampled the Eurorack module ‘Noise Plathora’ by Befaco and published 50 noises on freesound.org under a Creative Commons 0 licence.

2nd xmas electronics build, the Befaco VC ADSR.

Have had the board kit for almost 8 years now, bought it when the Befaco guys held a workshop in Tampere (mid-march 2017). Boards got packed away when moving, buried deep in the parts bin. About time to get it done!

#SynthDiy #BoardKit #Befaco #Eurorack

A mess of loose parts to build a Befaco VC ADSR eurorack module, all scattered on a desktop. Resistors, diodes, capacitors, parts in plastic bag. One circuit board is mounted on a helping hand (for soldering). Component measuring tool top center of photo

And there it is. I probably spent more time figuring out how the jack nuts and LEDs go in, than actually soldering parts. Seems someone forgot to update their build documentation for this specific model.. Breeze to build anyway 🥰

Best bits in the kit - that tool for the jack nuts and the pcb snap-off bits. Latter are great for many #Diy builds, really any use wherever you need both reasonably thin and rigid base material.

Completed Mutes eurorack module on a tabletop. Jack nut tool and two bits of circuit board snap-off section. Tip of metal tweezers to the top-right corner, ballpoint pen to top-left.

A chill start on some xmas holiday electronics builds: A kit of #Befaco / #Divkid Mutes module. Mainboard even has the surface-mount parts readily soldered in.

After so long playing with them in Cardinal, I got to try the physical version.
I really miss the "connect a source to multiple targets" thing from the software side.

Also using purely Befaco modules is a bit of a challenge.
Definitely a nice experience though.

Had a play on the Befaco Octaves VCO youtu.be/sNXrmIv29BY

Even though as a general rule I have no interest in designing #eurorack modules with little computers hiding inside of them, I'll confess that I kinda want to do a combo tuner/quantizer just so I can get closer to having a case that's 100% my designs.

Side note: I love the #Befaco Pony VCO (and more generally, I LOVE the flood of true through-zero VCOs that came out last year, all based on the same Sound Semi IC, the SSI2130) but I wish it had multiple simultaneous waveform outputs. I'm resisting doing my own SSI2130-based design, though, because (a) there are already a bunch of great ones, and (b) I'm not quite ready to buy a bunch of those ICs and hand them off to JLCPCB for assembly, and they aren't really hand-solderable.

One of these days I'll finish a VCO based on the SSI2131 or the AS3340, just so I can check off that box, I guess.

I built a Befaco 7U case - it's groovy youtu.be/KA_grBHOfuc

Well, soldering and assembling these will keep me busy for a while, especially Kickall... #eurorack #SynthDIY #befaco

Front panels of Befaco Eurorack modules, from left to right: Kickall, Stereo Strip, and Pony VCO. A sticker of Divkid logo is to the right. Behind the panels there are three plastic cables with ribbon cables and electronic components in them. "Befaco Knurlies Inside" sticker is on one of the bags.
