Behringer Edge - DFAM clone // bass - kick exploration jam // raw sound - no fx // no talking 

Definitely great value for such a punchy drum machine 🖤

Thanks bro much appreciated 🙇🏻‍♂️❤️

You’re welcome. Indeed is 🙌

🖤🙌 Thanks for listening

Grats with it 🎛️🙌

I use 2 DFAMs and a TR8S for drums. Also use a Subharmonicon for leads often. Check my instagram out for jams. Couldn’t live without my DFAMs for the low kicks and rolling bass lines. I have since sold the Edge and also owned the Crave. Behringer sound is good but just not up there with Moog imo. Thanks for listening bro

I’d try sequencing it from a DAW or hardware sequencer to break out of the 8-step

@@YukioBergholdt yes I did - as I said "longer sequences helps" I got some dirty electro stuff from it ... what else are people doing thats different?

The sequencer is basically just pressing play on the Edge and it will run through 8 steps repeatedly. You can adjust pitch and velocity on each of the 8 steps and also patch them to modify available inputs. Since it is semi modular it will usually make a sound without patching. Pretty much learning by doing

if you want more than 8 steps then you can feed it pitch / velocity through the midi in. until midi 2.0 though, you wont get near the subtle nuances you get from the knobs, and what ive found so far is that it tends to live and die on tiny variations to hit the sweet spots - playing the sounds, you can get nice variation just moving a knob a mm in some cases. I also experimented with trying to recreate an onboard sequence with an off board sequencer and found it difficult to match up.

It's a really good starting point for getting into modular and subtractive synthesis. Maybe a bit steep learning curve to begin with but you can just randomly try and things will begin to make sense at some point

I would say no. It’s really cool, but very narrow to get nice sound out of it. A lot of parameters work together, And most of it is what you hear here. Cool stuff, but without patching or adding other synths, this is it. Look for a dreadbox Typhon or the behringer pro 600/800 (?). Way more fun

It´s a fine machine and does very well what it does. But I would not recommed it for a beginner because maybe you won´t be happy a long time just jamming with 8 steps of percussion sounds alone. I started with a simple digital groovebox, Korg Electribe EM, and looking back that was a good idea. Got drums, two synth voices, no need for a mixer, 16 step sequencer and a lot of demo songs I could analyze to learn how things work. Teached me the basics without getting too complicated. Very, very easy to get in and get results. And it´s digital, so everything can be saved - Edge´s seq is very easy and fun to use but a quite special thing. And you can´t save anything, it´s completly analog. Everyone has its own way to get into this stuff, for me the groovebox was great because I could make songs with that thing and so I was very motivated to go on. I doubt an Edge alone would have done that for me. BTW: thx for the vid, cool stuff!

I agree with the others. But I was replying from the thought that you were looking for a first drum machine. This could be the one. However if it's the first synth you're after I would go for the Arturia Microfreak. So dirt cheap, deep and well documented

Sold mine 😆

@@YukioBergholdt How come you decided to sell it?

@@drconflict629 I think it lacked the warm and soft sound of the DFAM (I've got 2 DFAMs). Envelope / Attack was too clicky. Also didn't like the hard edge on the knobs.
