Befaco Muxlicer Reviews

So versatile

It is a module that I go to for multiple uses. CV sequencing, sequential routing (IN or OUT), Clock divider/multiplier, you can trigger the sequence, as a clock source, ratchets/bursts.

I actually own 2 now.

Classic

Faders are a bit flimsy but most if not all are. It's fun to use and it's great for a price, lots of experimenting to have. You can always try one in VCV rack, but I don't think you can go wrong if you have a space in your rack.

+ You can attenuate its outputs which is nice addition not many are aware

- Seems that clock out can't be reset which is bummer if you use any other then 16th gates

This module really brings my rack to life!

I use Muxlicer together with a quantiser as a randomisable eight-step sequencer. One cool trick is to put a sample-and-hold (clocked on the end-of-cycle) into the "all-in" input which in a very pleasant way varies how the sequence is played. High values from S&H give the full range of the sequence, low values give a more calm, base-y version.

Div-Kid’s video on this module gives a good overview.

Just wow

Well, this might be a useless review, but seriously this module is so useful, for so many things. I suggest you check this up on YouTube rather than me writing about it.

As for quality it feels very solid, well build and it's so beautiful. I guess over time that shiny surface might look less nice after you have been there with your oily french fry finger. But, still a beauyt in the rack.

Featurewise it's packed. I am a noob on modular, so bought this because I was overwhelmed by the variety of functions. Now as I learn to use it I just love it more every day.

Here is what I use it for:

-if you run a simple sequenced VCO through the Muxlicer, you can chop it up, create variations in the pattern, morph the wavetable by combining other VCOs in the per-step inputs. That's fun. Especially cos the sliders allow you to easily create variations playing live.

-sometimes I use it as a simple, but randomizable step sequencer.

-It is also great as a gate sequencer, opening and closing VCAs, creating crazy patterns.

-all of the above, while triggering drums through Muxlicer's gates, EOC, and surprisingly useful clock output.

Generally is great for live use, very versatile, and mostly tons of fun. I thought that together with the Percall it might be redundant. Well, I was wrong, they're a killer combo for creating drum patterns + melodies.

If you love sliders too, you cannot go wrong.
