Moog DFAM

Description

DFAM is the first addition to the Mother-32 family of synthesizers and presents an expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation. It requires no patching, and absolutely no experience is needed for human-beings of any age to quickly begin synthesizing new and unique rhythmic compositions.

Activated by an easy-to-use analog sequencer, DFAM’s emotive sound begins with a white noise generator and two wide-range analog oscillators - effortlessly transitioning between rhythmic pulsations, resounding bass and resonant bells in an instant. DFAM’s distinctive voice is then shaped by a classic Moog Ladder filter with two selectable modes: Low Pass mode imparts impact and dimension to each sound it touches, while High Pass mode opens the door to naturally expressive strikes, spikes and clangorous accentuations.

DFAM behaves much like a living organism, reacting in different ways to different individuals. 3 dedicated analog envelopes work dynamically with the sequencer to ensure that tribal toms breathe, industrial impacts evolve, and cacophonous chaos can be spawned or subdued at the turn of a knob.Each DFAM ships with a package of Moog patch cables that unlock access to the 24-point modular patchbay. Use it to create new sounds or bizarre behaviors, synchronize an unlimited number of DFAM and Mother-32 units together, or fully integrate your analog instrument into a modular Eurorack production environment.

A very nice little monster to handle (+1 for the super well-designed manual that guides you step by step through a sequence to understand the impact of each element on the sound coming out of the device), I initially regretted the limit of 8 steps but in use, increasing to 16 would have lost ease of handling. It sounds, it spits, it hits hard, but it's never unpleasant and you can even get pretty ethereal and soft bells if you know how to talk to it. Note that in a semi-modular setup, a CV quantizer will work very well with the DFAM by turning continuous knobs into different scales and will open up more melodic possibilities. In any case, as has been said: it's not really a drum machine, nor a classic synth, but rather a very interesting in-between that will bring something totally new to your setup.... (Show more)
