An Experimental Soundscape Synth for Eurorack // ONEIROI from BEFACO

Here we have the highly anticipated ONEIROI from Befaco who say that it is a “experimental synth voice focused on ambient pads and drone-like soundscapes”. Working entirely in stereo we have oscillators, sines, supersaws, wavetables, a varispeed looper, input instrument interfacing, filtering, combs, resonators, echos, ambience, reverbs and lots of CV control.

In this video we take a methodical approach to going through Oneiroi’s features and sounds with lots of musical examples throughout. Check out the timing index below so you skip through the chapters to listen to and learn everything you could desire.
