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.

Desktop refers to instruments designed for tabletop or studio use rather than keyboard-based performance. Desktop units are compact, self-contained devices controlled via knobs, buttons, sequencers, or external controllers, making them ideal for studio workflows and modular setups.
Digital is sound generation and processing based on digital signal processing rather than analogue circuitry. It is used for precise control, stable tuning, patch memory, and complex sound design that would be difficult to achieve with purely analogue systems. For example, a digital instrument might be used to create detailed evolving textures or realistic emulations while storing and recalling complete sound setups instantly.
Modular is a synthesis format made up of separate, interchangeable modules that are patched together to create custom signal paths. It allows complete freedom over sound design, sequencing, and modulation, with each system built to suit the user’s workflow and creative approach.
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.
Semi-modular is an instrument design that combines a pre-wired internal signal path with the option to reroute and expand using patch connections. It is used to provide immediate, playable sound while still allowing deeper experimentation through external modulation and signal routing. For example, a semi-modular instrument can be played straight away as a complete synth, then patched into other modules or controllers to explore more complex sound design.
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.
