Befaco / Mylar Melodies - Random8 (Assembled)

RANDOM8 is an eight-channel random CV generator and looping voltage sequencer designed for improvisation, generative patching and live performance. Developed in collaboration with Mylar Melodies, it delivers random, repeating and slowly evolving control voltages in a compact 8HP Eurorack module.

Each channel generates independent stepped or smoothed voltages from 0–10V. Incoming triggers are normalled between channels, allowing a single trigger source to control all eight outputs or additional triggers to create independent groups. Dedicated attenuators set the output range of each channel, while loop lengths from 1 to 32 steps make it easy to capture and repeat modulation phrases.

A single button press switches a channel between looping and evolving operation. Pressing it again locks the current phrase, while a double press returns the channel to fully random generation. Per-channel probability, trigger division, offset and slide provide detailed control over the timing and movement of each voltage. Eight random generation modes include different voltage distributions, alternating high and low values, and wandering modulation that behaves like an invisible hand moving a control.

The built-in pitch quantizer transforms any channel into a melodic sequencer, with 14 musical scales, an unquantized mode and a dedicated octave scale. RANDOM8 can generate eight melodies simultaneously or combine pitch sequencing with modulation, animation and LFO-style movement across an entire Eurorack system.

Eight presets store the complete module configuration for quick recall, and the one-layer menu system keeps advanced functions accessible without a display.
