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.

Synths are electronic instruments designed for creating and shaping sound, from classic analogue-style tones to modern digital textures. Used for basslines, leads, pads and experimental sound design, they play a central role in many styles of music. If you enjoy hands-on creativity and exploring new sonic ideas, synths offer a powerful and expressive way to make music.

Analogue is sound generation based on physical electronic circuits such as oscillators, filters, and amplifiers rather than digital processing. It is used for its continuously variable signals, natural movement, and harmonic character that respond directly to hands-on control. For example, an analogue instrument might be used to create a warm bass line or an evolving lead sound with subtle changes in tone and texture as it is played.
Cables are used to connect instruments, controllers, and equipment so that audio, control signals, and data can be transmitted reliably. They are essential for routing sound, synchronising devices, and enabling communication between hardware. For example, cables are used to connect a synthesiser to speakers, link devices via MIDI or USB, or patch modules together in a modular system.
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.
A module is a self-contained unit designed to perform a specific function within a larger system. Modules are commonly used in modular and Eurorack setups, where each unit handles tasks such as sound generation, modulation, filtering, or control, allowing systems to be built and expanded piece by piece.
A synth is an electronic instrument that creates sound through electronic signal generation and shaping. It is used to produce basses, leads, pads, textures, and effects by controlling oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation. Synths are central to electronic music and modern production, offering flexible sound design for both studio work and live performance.
A synthesizer is an electronic instrument that generates and shapes sound using oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation sources. It allows sounds to be created from scratch, altered in real time, and controlled through keys, sequencers, or external controllers. Synthesizers are used to produce everything from basses and leads to pads, textures, and experimental sound design in both studio production and live performance.
