Their most unusual introduction is Fx Boy, a 12 HP multi FX module with CV controllable EQ and Dry wet. Each FX is built into a Gameboy cart.
Befaco has gathered a group of fellow Eurorack manufacturers to design carts. The module will include 6 carts, from: Feedback modules, Making sound Machines, Tesseract, Touel Skouarn, XOR electronics and Befaco. You can expect old fashioned flangers, aggressive folders, dirty bitcrushers, fuzz galore and trashy distortions.
Fx Boy will be released in summer 2023, both assembled and DIY. Pricing is still to be determined.
Befaco will also be introducing a 1u version of the Molten Motion Meter.
The 1u version will be functioning as the 3u counterpart, but with four channels.
The module will be released at the end of June, assembled and as a semi-soldered kit at an estimated price of €165 /€130 after taxes.
Finally, Befaco is introducing the MIDI Thing 2, a new, “sexier and more powerful” version of their MIDI Thing.
The MIDI Thing 2 is a 12-channel, fully configurable MIDI converter in just 6 HP. If features MIDI DIN, USB host and MIDI device connectivity, and a OLED screen to configure the ports as you like.
The module will feature monophonic and polyphonic modes, with built-in ADSR, LFOs and Oscillators. It will have a configuration Website, as well as a bridge mode for VCV rack.
