Befaco is a Spanish modular synthesiser manufacturer based in Barcelona, best known for Eurorack modules that balance experimental ideas with solid, practical engineering. The company has strong roots in DIY culture, with many of its designs available both as fully built modules and as kits for hands-on builders.
Their modules cover a wide range of functions including oscillators, filters, modulation, sequencing, utilities, and performance tools, often with a playful edge and a focus on interaction. Befaco gear is popular with modular users who enjoy understanding how their systems work and who value flexibility, patchability, and character over polished presets.
For SynthForSale, Befaco fits into the Eurorack and modular synthesis category — versatile instruments and utilities aimed at creative musicians who want expressive, adaptable modular systems with a strong DIY-friendly ethos.

A controller is a device designed to control electronic instruments, software, and hardware without generating sound on its own. It sends performance and control data, allowing parameters such as notes, velocity, modulation, and automation to be played or adjusted in real time. Controllers are central to hands-on workflow, enabling expressive control in both studio production and live performance.
CV is control voltage used to transmit continuous electrical signals between electronic instruments and modules. It allows parameters such as pitch, filter cutoff, amplitude, and modulation to be controlled in a fluid, analogue manner. CV is fundamental to modular and semi-modular systems, enabling direct, real-time interaction between sound sources, controllers, and processors.
Eurorack is a modular synthesis format with standardised dimensions, power connections, and signal levels. Eurorack systems are built from individual modules mounted in cases, allowing users to create highly customisable instruments tailored to specific sound design and performance needs.
MIDI is a digital control standard used to transmit performance and control data between electronic instruments, computers, and hardware devices. It carries information such as note data, velocity, timing, and parameter changes rather than audio, allowing instruments and software to communicate, stay in sync, and control each other. MIDI is fundamental to modern music production, sequencing, and live performance setups.
New Gear is unused and in original condition, supplied as it leaves the manufacturer. It is chosen for guaranteed reliability, full functionality, and the assurance of manufacturer support. For example, buying new ensures access to the latest design revisions, included accessories, and official warranty coverage.
