Brand
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.

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.
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.
A patch is a saved sound setting that defines how an instrument is configured at a given moment. It stores parameters such as oscillator settings, filters, modulation, and effects, allowing sounds to be recalled instantly. For example, a patch might be created for a specific bass or lead sound and then recalled during a performance or reused across multiple tracks in a studio project.
A patch bay is a routing device that allows audio and control signals to be quickly connected and reconfigured without constantly plugging and unplugging equipment. It centralises connections from instruments, processors, and interfaces, making signal flow clearer and easier to manage. For example, a patch bay can be used in a studio to route a synthesiser through different effects or processors simply by changing patch cables, saving time and keeping setups flexible and organised.
