Hello,

another new video ... I know ... they're flying out at the moment! All going well (i.e. items turning up, as some haven't! ARRRRGH!) I'll have a couple more videos to come next week as well.

Befaco released VOLTIO today, a precision offset source and adder that's as usual for testing, calibration and building modules as it is for creative and musical uses in a Eurorack system.

I took the latter of those points (creative uses...) as a good reason to make a video. Lots of these patch examples are basic, simple ideas applied in interesting ways to take a very simple easy to use module and to give us interesting musical behaviours.

Many of these patches are applicable to lots of modules, so I hope you can try some of them in your systems right away.

See you over in our Discord for QOTD, WYR and plenty more.

Creative & Musical Uses of Precision Adders, Offset Voltages & Transposing // BEFACO VOLTIO

In this video we explore creative and musical uses of offset voltages and precision adders. Using the Befaco Voltio we explore creating chord intervals both statically and with offsetting musical sequences, we get creative with adding asymmetrical behaviours to waveshapers, we lock in FM ratios with analogue VCOs and plenty more. The Befaco Voltio is a musical voltage source with 0-10V or -5/+5V octave offsets alongside semitone offsets, perfect for dealing in chord intervals. It features 2mm banana outputs that work with probes and it is a very accurate voltage that they designed for testing, building and calibrating modules. As well as generating voltages it's features a sum input, allowing this to work as a precision adder for adding or subtracting CV offset values from both sub audio CV signals and from audio sources.
