Befaco are so underrated. Their products integrate with one another so well.

Beautifully constructed demo once again. I’m 100% positive that I’m one of many many other viewers who bought the Befacto Burst bc of this vid. Cheers!!!

Fantastic video! I love how you managed to get the musical examples come alive without clouding the focus of what you are showing. I stumbled across the manual for Burst while visiting the Befaco Hangar space and was really pleased since I use a bunch of wider modules to make patches similar to the way Burst is laid out.

Hi Holon, great thanks for the comment. Nice to hear that. I need to get over to Hangar and visit them, we talk a lot and catch up briefly at Superbooth but I'm overdue a trip to Barcelona to see them.

Just finished the DIY and spend a couple of minutes with it - it's such a hands-on module, with all the parameters so easily and intuitive, it really feels powerful and instant under your fingers with only a minute or two to get a clear sense of the enormous range of possibilities. Enjoy!

for the envelope mode: can you set the total length in time that's needed to run once through? can you moreover trigger the envelope externally and self-trigger it?

Oh nice! Hope it comes out soon & a kit would suit too!

Really cool - seems like an inspiring tool to add to your sequencer. What sequencers do you like the best? The Hermod seems extremely capable but possibly way too much menu diving and a lack of intuitive control. Eloquence? I quite like the metropolis - seems really inspiring. The oberkorn is extremely hands on and has so much direct control over all 16 of the steps of 3 sequences. Their new 'generator' could be great. I'm quite interested in that. It would be nice to save and recall sequences though but without getting too much complexity and searching through menus. I imagine polyend will be making a eurorack sequencer soon. All very expensive stuff though! The Doepfer A-155 seems pretty good bang for buck but perhaps not many interesting features to it?

@DivKid

There's a lot of good sequencers around, first thing to do before diving into too many of the modules is to really think about what feature you would need or like. Then we can narrow that down to things that are suitable and compare with what's out there.

Hey Ben, what did you use for your kick for your patch at 9:20. Thx!!

Befaco's on the right track with these two new modules-- Both are now on my want list. And in fact, I'm wondering what can be done with more than one Burst-- I may just have to find out...

Chaining the EOC end of cycle outputs from the Burst and Muxlicer is really good, adding in another one of either would work really well.

Will pairing Burst with a sequencer allow you to get the exact same behavior as a Metropolis?

MUST HAVE!!! This would be fantastic for timing experiments. Set for 16 over 4 bars. Experiment with distribution over 4/4 kick. I can't wait for this to come out. Any idea on price?

Muxlicer is just under €200 I think so I imagine this will be a bit less, but really not sure. Yeah longer slower clock and ramping up and down distributions are really cool, I should have done that in the demo! :)

Interestingly enough the wonky sequencer-driving examples at the very end are extremely similar to results I get by putting a complex voltage on the cv in of the clock of the stillson hammer mk2, particularly any out from the Erica Synths Octasource. Seems to achieve a similar result--a speeding up then a slowing down and in between, almost like an orbit. Looks like the TiNRS Wobbler can do some similar things.

@DivKid

6 жыл бұрын

The Octasource is simple sources but all phase shifted right? Or does it do more than I've presumed? But you're right clocked things with CV tempo will do a great job too.

@NickHchaos

DivKidVideo nope; I'm surprised you haven't done a video on it. It's my #1 modulation module. Basically an 8 output morphing LFO with cv over morph and FM, you can switch from 8 morphing waves bipolar to one morphing wave phase shifted 8 times which I think is unipolar. It's the best thing I've found to do complex mod, wobbler seems the first thing I've encountered that matches that.

Also a riff on the synthesis tech morphing LFO I guess but with more outs, or like an LFO version of their wavetable vco in a sense.

Yep, check it out! You can get some super complex modulation. It killed my desire for a true random voltages module (or rather, had one before, and sold it).

Great module; however, I can't seem to get the probability to output the initial trigger. Did you have any trouble with this?

@DivKid

5 жыл бұрын

does it output the initial trigger with probability up full? It's it all clocked and in sync properly?

@nickjones5641

5 жыл бұрын

In case anybody has the same issue, holding the manual trigger button for 5 seconds makes the unit omit the first trigger. However, the probability doesn’t work. When set at anything other than 100%, the first trigger is omitted. Wondering if mine is faulty.

I wish I would have bought this instead of the after audio steps (accidentally bought 2 lol) The steps module gives you no control over number of bursts unless I'm missing something Huge buyer's remorse

Just got the Burst. I'm trying to have a steady trigger happening, like a hihat, with random bursts. However, Burst different seem to pass through like yours does. Is this because your using and envelope or whatever? I'm not quite sure I've got this thing figured out.

@KPsTboy

3 жыл бұрын

The output is very much correlated to the ping and time divider and multiplier. If the ping (either sent through CV or tapped) tempo is low but your input is at a higher rate it will pass these triggers out at a lower rate also depending on your time div/mult setting, which is also based on the ping rate.

hey has anyone had an issue where pressing the TRIG button, or taking a TRIGG in to the Burst causes the trig outs to occur LATE - like an offset, rather than at the time of the button press or the trigg in? Right now every time my Burst receives a trig that matches the probability set it starts sending trigs after the actual trigger event. It seems like the first trig is silenced and the rest are played.

@@steveturner1815 thank you!! I missed this bit in the manual and thought I screwed up my build somehow!

you say: "the output triggering the envelope wich is openning the vca", I suppose this only works with synthetic or analog sounds... because a envelope won´t do anything to a sample for example...

@DivKid

2 жыл бұрын

put a sample into a VCA and use the envelope to control the level of the sample in the VCA. Or sample into a filter, use the envelope to modulate the filter. Or if the sample player has modulation use the envelope to modulate something within the sampler itself. Hope that offers a few ideas.

Befaco Burst was literally the reason I got into eurorack, and I was introduced to it by this vid. Really, thank you for this demo! Here is the module in action if interested: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppV3pLivaJuxmc4.html

Hey G, always up for criticism and you're right there's a lot of really cool stuff to be had with both units. But as this is a demo of Burst I wanted to really focus on Burst and not push the combo on people. More time consuming (but learning is effort etc etc) between the Muxlicer video and the Burst video there's a lot to take from that. I did the video Juggling Rhythms with the two units. I smell a follow up video though :)
