Behringer SPACE FX is a new 24-bit digital effects module that gives you 32 algorithms for your Eurorack modular synth for $49 USD. Effects are a nice tool for polishing sounds or giving them more space to unfold. Depending on the proportion of the effect in the sound, it can also play a primary role in the sound design process. Whether keyboard, software VST, or Eurorack, effects are popular tools everywhere. Behringer today shows a new solid effect module for Eurorack at a very low price. Behringer SPACE FX SPACE FX is a 24-bit digital stereo effects module that is powered by KLARK TEKNIK algorithms. Probably the same as in the B Odyssey which also has a multi-effects section by KT. The module gives you 32 effects algorithms, each with 3 adjustable parameters. It gives you 15 different reverb effects including rooms, chambers, halls, plates, and springs. Then, you get 8 different delay and modulation effects including echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo. And there are also some more unique effects such as pitch shifter, talkbox, LFO filter, and a clipper distortion. According to Behringer, it also includes combinations of the different effect types for further sonic manipulation. The tap button offers manual syncing of delays and other time-based effects. Visual feedback is provided by a display very reminiscent of that in the B Odyssey. On the interface, there is also an FX on/off switch that will be replaced by a high/low input level switch in the final version.
First Impression At first glance an interesting module. If they’re the same as in the Odyssey, they’re solid, good-sounding algorithms, and at $49, they’re a very good deal. A little criticism: where are the CV inputs for the parameters? It is a module for Eurorack and the format lives from the possibility of modulating everything. Even if the module costs $79 afterwards, CV inputs would be very good. Behringer SPACE FX will be available for an estimated price of $49 USD. They will ship as soon they receive the chips required to put this into production. |
