Key Features
Product Ref: 128185
The Befaco Sampling Modulator is a multi-function Eurorack module that combines multiple module characteristics together to deliver highly versatile usability. At face value, the Sampling Modulator is exactly that; but it can be utilised to deliver a wide range of modulation and functionality.
One such mode is the sequencer clock sample and hold. This mode reacts like a standard Sample and Hold circuit with the exception of being clocked by the sequencer. This provides added flexibility for creating patterns and melodies, giving you the ability to create complex and interesting patterns.
The down-sampling effect reacts like a bitcrusher, helping to mangle and destroy your audio. This results in rich yet aggressive harmonics, ideal for reducing the sampling rate for a grittier sound. The clock runs up to 25kHz without external CV and upwards to 200kHz with CV on in the input.
The Sampling Modulator and Shaper works by utilising the temperature compensated ramp core VCO, providing more than four octaves of tracking. You can then feed a waveshape to the input and the pitch CV to the VCO. The result is a sustained timbre which allows you to move through the scale, syncing the internal and external VCOs.
A trigger generator is included which can be also be used as a clock divider. The three-position switch allows you to create eight-steps for sequencing capabilities. You can also use the trigger outputs as a pulse VCO. Toggling the switches on and of can provide a variety of timbral changes.
The module features seven patch points in total, allowing you to communicate with external modules. The clock input can be used a typical clock by you can also use the positive going hard sync mode, allowing you to achieve shuffling and polyrhythmic effects.
The hold input can be used to keep notes playing for longer, effectively holding the note in place. There are also standard input and output connections as well as a V/Oct connection.
