We met the Befaco guy at Superbooth and told him how much we loved this module. He got a big smile on his face and said some people just didn't get it - why he would make such a thing? This module is for fans of WEIRD sounds. If you're a fan of any kind of harsh noise, from the seething putrid drones of Wolf Eyes to the harsh noise walls of Vomir or Masonna, to even the outer space horror drone of Hawkwind, you'll know from the instant you plug it in what a gem this is. You will LOVE this module. The Noise Plethora consists of three sections. The top two are digital noise/feedback sources which Befaco designed to achieve a diversity of harsh noise sounds. Terrifying drones, feedback wails, demonic FM, crumbling noise walls - this module does it all! Each digital source takes not one...

The T-Noiseworks is a mysterious module, with not much currently being said about it on the Internet. It offers four noise voices which can be pitched, sounding a bit like pink noise going through a bandpass filter. The four voices are tuned slightly differently. The first voice is very resonant and nasal, the middle two have a much lighter touch, and the last voice is much deeper than the others. The first three have "hat/snare" switches, which activates a high-pass filter, while the last one reads L/M/H. If you've watched the DivKid video about the related ADDAC T-Networks video, you know this stands for low / mod / high, with the middle output being much more resonant. In this case, it's well suited for kicks. You can get some nice sub frequencies out of this last output on...

Excellent addition to my Eurorack, I sent the pink noise through the Behringer fixed filter and it sounded great. looks cool in black. it?s very basic, there are no CV inputs to modulate externally Overall it?s great value for money and sounds really good

I got the A-117 to provide a source of digital noise to the sound palette of my modular synth rack. This module turned out to be great fun and surprisingly versatile in use. The sound quality is excellent as expected from doepfer and the build is robust. The only complaint I have is that the control knobs are quite stiff in use. This however is the style of doepfer modules. For this price, every modular synth rack should have one.

This module is perfect if you just need some filtered noise. Pros: • Three outputs. Makes it easy to use for many noisy purposes. • Filter self oscillates at high resonance. Meaning you get tonal percussive sounds out of this if you want. Cons: • No VC control over cut-off frequency. But you are free to run the white noise through another filter. • Naturally, those small knobs don't invite you to play with them. A good module for just solving the "where will I get noise from in my little rack?" in just 2hp!

As soon as Behringer announced the 2500 series I was excited. This is one of the less exciting modules in the range but it nonetheless has its uses. It has quite a bit of flexibility in what you can do with it. The only downside is it is huge for what it does and really should have been smaller.
