The Befaco Even VCO is a surprisingly versatile oscillator, especially if you're hunting for something beyond the standard waveforms. Its tuning stability is impressive for an analogue design, and the compact size is a big win for those with limited Eurorack space – perfect for experimental sound designers and those seeking unique timbral textures.

Product Description

  • Befaco Even VCO
  • Eurorack Module
  • Analogue voltage controlled oscillator
  • Cleanly tuneable over a range of 10 octaves
  • Rotary switch for octave selection and controls for tune and PWM
  • CV inputs for pitch
  • sync and PWM
  • Waveform outputs: Sine
  • Triangle
  • Pulse
  • Sawtooth and Even (emphasis on even overtones)
  • Power requirement: 36 mA (+12 V) / 26 mA (-12 V)
  • Width: 8 HP
  • Depth: 45 mm
PROS
  • • Excellent tuning stability across the 10-octave range, a rare feat.
  • • The 'Even' waveform delivers a unique, harmonically rich timbre.
  • • Solid build quality with robust knobs and a sturdy faceplate.
  • • Compact 8HP footprint makes it highly space-efficient in modular systems.
CONS
  • • PWM control range could be wider for more extreme shaping.
  • • The 'Even' waveform, while unique, may not suit all sound design needs.
  • • Lacks a dedicated pulse width modulation (PWM) CV input, limiting modulation options.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Even' waveform emphasizes even-numbered harmonics, resulting in a smoother, less aggressive sound compared to a typical sawtooth, lacking the harshness of some saw shapes.
Absolutely; it’s a great core oscillator for subtractive synthesis, offering a full range of classic waveforms plus the unique 'Even' option to experiment with.
While it lacks some advanced features of high-end VCOs, the Even provides excellent value, offering comparable tuning stability and a distinctive character at a more accessible price.
