Product information "Befaco - ARK (Assembled)"
ARK combines sequencing, sound generation, sampling, modulation and mixing in a two-part Eurorack system. Its 16-track composition environment brings internal instruments and CV/Gate generation together with flexible audio, CV and MIDI routing, while scale- and chord-based tools help keep generated musical material in harmonic context.
Features:
• 16-track deterministic, stochastic and Euclidean sequencer
• Per-track sound engines, samplers and CV/Gate generators
• Harmony tools based on scales and chord progressions
• 16 internal modulation sources
• MIDI generation, recording and parameter control
• Internal mixer with effects and master dynamics
• 8 CV/audio outputs and 8 gate outputs
• Detachable ARK-Core and ARK-Controller for flexible placement

Befaco is an Eurorack manufacturer that also offers DIY kits, organizes workshops and releases their designs under Creative Commons license.
In February 2010 Befaco was created as an open hardware platform focusing on professional DIY musical hardware, materializing the previous electronic, musical and artistic research of its members.
Our main activity has been developing synthesizer modules in eurorack
format and making them available in workshops. All this research is
published under CC-NC-SA License, so people can download the schematics,
and technical assembly guides, to make their own variations of the
projects for personal and educative purposes. Also build all our designs
during our regular workshops in cities as Barcelona, Madrid, London or
Berlin.
During the past twelve years, apart of these regular four
cities, we have visited cities as Tokyo, Kyoto, Toronto, Montreal,
Chicago, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Lyon, Stuttgart and Amsterdam, amongst
many other European cities.
These workshops are a huge test playground where we can track each module being built by different worldwide users, get direct feedback and quickly improve them with, develop new ones, or adapt these instruments to users demands constantly.
Direct contact with DIY enthusiasts allows an implication of users in the structure, allowing them to design their own modules and develop them in a professional way. This has developed into an incubation environment for several new modular initiatives, allowing different makers to start their own similar projects.
Befaco initiative is possible thanks to the support of Hangar, an artistic production centre in Barcelona, Barcelona city hall and the titanic work by the whole Befaco team.
