Key Features
Product Ref: 128182
The Befaco i2 Instrument Interface Module is the perfect tool for bridging the gap between your modular rig and your instrument collection. This compact Eurorack module features an envelope follower which provides direct control of your incoming signal’s amplitude.
It features an integrated preamp with dual audio inputs for optimal compatibility. This allows you to process audio signals from instruments such as guitars or keyboards. It works by transforming the incoming signal to produce a control voltage. From here you can process your instruments signal for various applications. You can use it for everything from sound design, to generating tones and melodies.
The envelope regenerator provides control over the attack and decay clew levels. This is ideal for sculpting your instrument’s sound. For instance, you could adjust the attack to provide a softer incoming tone for a less brash sound. The signal is filtered through the Response section, controlling the velocity response of the envelope follower. It also includes a corresponding High/Medium/Low switch so you can match the signal you are processing.
The versatile bandpass filter provides further shaping of your tone. You can use the bandpass filter isolate parts of your sound and accentuate frequencies. It works by passing the signal through the filter, with you controlling the cutoff frequency and bandwidth. The vintage-style potentiometers allow you to dial in your setting with precision. Once the signal is processed by the filter, it is then regulated to the suitable synth-level, which is then routed to the Audio Output.
A trigger extractor kicks in when the volume level goes past a selected threshold. This can help keep hot signals at a suitable level, avoiding clipping and other audio problems. It triggers a gate which can be used for various applications. The trigger and gate also includes their own dedicated output.
The Befaco i2 Instrument Interface Module provides you with a wide range of patch points and connections. The audio input comes in the form of a 1/4-inch jack, accompanied by a patch point for the preamp. The vintage-style potentiometers not only look good but provide precision when dialling in parameters. There are dedicated controls for the BPF Width and Frequency as well as the Attack and Decay for the Envelope Regenerator, as well as Threshold and Gain controls. The extracted envelope is processed to the Follo output, which you can use the route with an external module.
