ONEIROI by Befaco | First Patch

[@joelaplaca1546]

Your videos are both informative and lusciously beautiful. I bought one after listening. I’ve been feedback using verbos delays, harmonic oscillators and Fiamma with great results. With gratitude and respect!

[@legacy_systems]

I finished building mine about 2 weeks ago, and stuck it next to my Elmyra 2 in a spare skiff case. Really enjoying getting to grips with it and seeing how the 2 play together. The bit where to plug the Rings into it was brilliant - that's next on my list of things to try out.

[@sergiomoreno7482]

I’ve got mine and I can say that the design and layout are excellent, really easy to play. Love to experiment with different input sources too

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Totally agree!

[@PatternRecognitionMusic]

As is often the case lately, I have neither space nor budget for more modules, but I kinda wanna crosspatch an Oneiroi (which I don't own) with a Grone (which I also don't own).

[@Beatprisoner]

I had the same issue withe loosing the reverse looper. There is a key comb8nation to just reset all the modulations (check the manual for details). This always helped me to fix the reverse looper issue.

[@Jin-Hu]

Kinda bingeing user videos while I wait for my diy kit, can’t believe the value proposition of this thing, lovely video

[@CinematicLaboratory]

You're going to love this machine!

[@Tofu_Pilot]

So the kit, is it all THT? The Owl board is clearly covered in SMT and I don't know how to do SMT. If I remember correctly, Befac doesn't even bother to identify the resistors by value and suggests you figure them all out on your own using a multimeter. If they ship this kit like that, it would be well worse than a curse.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

@@Tofu_Pilot I bought the preassembled, but I recently saw a video where someone built it in 5 hours or so. I am not sure, but I think the OWL comes as a unit. If you see the image in this video with the ARM chip I can't imagine you'd had to solder it yourself.

[@Jin-Hu]

@@Tofu_Pilotall through hole, Owl is fully built, the five hour build guy is a frickin’ machine, I took about 4 long nights a full day but no issues and I love it!

[@Beatprisoner]

Btw. your tip for tuning the looper speed with a reference root recording was excellent! Same as the whole video. No talking, only useful information, no yada yada and great sounds. Thanks!

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Thanks for the encouragement. Highly appreciated and sometimes needed :).

[@Tofu_Pilot]

This was dope! The DIY kit looks pretty straightforward and fun. I am going to have to get out the soldering iron and dream away.

[@Hessencemusic]

very interesting module.. a lot of elements to take into account to be applied during a droning session... as always... I love your videos and the way you spread your conclusions. I really appreciate all your effort.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Thanks for sharing! It's a lot of work, even though it never feels like it and I feel privileged to have an audience that appreciates it.

[@Hessencemusic]

@@CinematicLaboratory it couldn't be any other way... I find it hard to think that someone would not be able to appreciate the tremendous work that goes behind it... I think I've already told you many times, but your constancy and depth of analysis is incredible. I don't know many like you

[@wishbonebrewery]

its quit an onslaught of sound isn't it, I was talking to a chap in the brewery yesterday that has just got one. Damn this addictive hobby!!

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Yes, we're all forked, but loving it.

[@mymodularjourney]

Haven’t watched the video, but enjoyed the sounds while folding the laundry. 👌

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Actually, I cleaned up my studio while making this video. Really great as a backdrop.

[@mymodularjourney]

@@CinematicLaboratory I feel this would be great as standalone unit. Or an indeed a tiny rack with rings and pams for some outdoor meditation.

[@McEnroe911]

Great video as usual. I received my oneiroi last week and have had some similar issues with the looper where it wasn’t playing backwards. I put the start knob fully CW and the end knob fully CCW and then I could hear the looper in reverse, and thought I must have just misunderstood how it worked. Shame you had to re-flash the firmware to get it going again as expected. It’s a cool module but it does have a very distinctive ‘oneiroi’ sound. Like you say, it’s going to be up to the user to get something original out of it.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

I now start with clearing my CV and modulation assignments. The problem did not return in later sessions, so I guess it's a bug.

[@TheNaboen]

really interesting and beautiful music. good work! (exciting module)

[@maltas22]

You are still on a roll cinematic! Mooi werk!, greetz.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Dank je!

[@greggdecarlo6014]

You are always so inspiring. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Always welcome!

[@RedmotionGames]

Contender for module of the year? Bet this is good for pulsing techno ambiences as well. Lovely demo as always.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Absolutely a strong contender. I always say Techno is ambient with a beat - which is not entirely true - but yes, I am sure it works for many genres that involve trance, hypnotics and euphoria. I think I'll need to update my thumbnail to 'episode 01'.

[@el_dani]

Vhikk X?!

[@bobhirnlego]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@TheNimasan]

beside stardust def the module of 2024 imo. you can argue to put disting ex somewhere in the mix.

[@el_dani]

I was looking for a stereo filter to accompy my Vhikk X. Is this the way to go to process and compound the Vhikk abyss sounds?

[@CinematicLaboratory]

It will definitely combine well with the Vhikk X, I wish I could give it a try :).

[@drauglurdarkambient]

its a pleasure

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

1:45 .. down we gooooo

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

I’m kinda done buying Eurorack but this and ohmacide are on my VERY short list

[@Eli_B3000]

Can't wait to get one. Does anyone know how to get it in a small standalone case like when they were demoing it? I reached out but they didn't reply. I'd rather have it solo for desktop if I can.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Oneiroi is 30 hp. The easiest way is to get a 32X or 34X pod from 4MS and fill the spare 2 or 4 HP with a mult or an FX-AID , Disting or blank. A small powered Sinusoida 52 HP case would be even better so you can expand. Do you really think you can escape the rabbit hole once you enter? Respect!

[@Eli_B3000]

@@CinematicLaboratory Thanks for the tip, I have looked at that option a few weeks ago. I just saw the really shallow case they used in different demos, and that's what I was hoping they would have available, but I'm guessing it's custom. I don't mind buying modules as much as just the space it will take up is not ideal, not the HxW, but the depth. I will probably end up with a small setup though, there are a few more modules like the Grone that I would like to put with it to make a noise/ambient generator box.

[@el_dani]

@@Eli_B3000 a 104HP Intellijel Palette is quicker filled than you think. Reflect wisely before you start into Eurorack..

[@Eli_B3000]

@@CinematicLaboratory follow up, I ended up doing just this and have a small case with the unit and befaco out module, thanks again!

[@KenSwanson-p4i]

".. wavetables .. itchy thin mosquito sounds .." yes, this is a problem, for me, too.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

This is the first wavetable I actually like a lot. It still sounds terrible but now it's functional.

[@Probbie]

Mmm, delicious 😋

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

Maybe they programmed the glitches into it Busted Easter eggs

[@quantum_ocean]

It's digital, so basically a VST in hardware form factor.

[@el_dani]

It's code and it's digital but then there is the haptics, the work of design which controls to put under what knob or fader - and there is CV and feedback possibilites - did you ever experience hours going down the Eurorack foxhole?
