I was like "nah I don't need this". I bought one couple of months ago and it's my favorite gizmo by far. If you're into any kind of techno, industrial, dark ambient, electro etc. you're gonna have a lot of fun.
the dfam is a beast. these little short films from moog have such an intimitating vibe. but this little synth has also the ability to be super sweet :-)
Haven't paid attention to this until now. This evening, watching this video, my jaw literally dropped. WHAT A NICE LIL' MACHINE!!! Being a huge Moog-fan, I gotta say: ONLY Moog makes stuff this sonically aggressive, yet pleasing.
just want to say THANK YOU to Moog for featuring women to demo their products. can't tell you how important it is for me to see other women using mod synths + other gear. if one more guy with some fancy accent tries to show me how to turn a knob i'm gonna fuckin lose it. :)
Ooosh Lovely stuff as expected from Moog !! Skip forward 3 years we will have a Mother / Father / Sister & Baby euro style Moog system !! I cant wait - Thanks Moog '-)
If had this since it came out and its the only synth/module that I cannot ever get tired of. I love it "limitations" and I love its range! I'm thinking I may need to get another one.
These clever bastards. We all thought they were integrating with Eurorack, when really they were making their own Volca line all along! (Though it's still integrated with Eurorack). Great stuff.
Things I like: 1) FINALLY Mood did something else than another minimoog iteration 2) All the patches in the video, so basically I like the sound. Things I don't like: 1) So much hp and so small step knobs. 2) Correct me if I am wrong but the step length is fixed to 8 steps, no reset input. Clever marketing.
Good on this all around. I was hoping for a wide release of this, and it was an excellent idea to have some talented female musicians demonstrate its capabilities.
I agree. Respect to moog for for choosing to reflect the fact that women have been making amazing music with their products for a long time now. Love the product. Love the video. I'm going to purchase for sure.
I love the sound of the DFAM...so gritty and raw...but I hate the sequencer cos at only 8 steps everything sounds so square, repetitive and short to me...like a really annoying alarm clock! Can someone please advise me what I can do to get round this? Maybe buy an SQ1 to drive the DFAM? Or can I use my Mother 32's sequencer to drive it? Or can I use the patchbay to create more interesting time signatures that I can actually control (Ie not random or pitch-to-note-length)? many thanks for your help!
So this is a 3-part drum machine? 2 Oscillators, and a noise generator. Very strange design. Doesn't seem like it would do very much, though it looks like a very nice companion to the Mother-32 (and it sounds great).
Very cool. I have used the op-1 for small performances. But drums and the unit itself sounds...THIN..maybe? Does the dfam sound like real drums? Can I sync it to my op-1 somehow? Thanks.
The DFAM can be used to craft more traditional drum sounds, but because it is a Semi Modular Percussion Synth, its strengths lie in its ability to create new and unique percussive sounds and rhythms. Regarding sync to your OP-1; PO sync mode can be used to send sync directly from your OP-1 to the DFAM. In this mode the OP-1 output signal is split into dual mono (L being the click track used for synchronization and R being a mix of the stereo audio signals). You will want to use 1/16 sync, which sends a double tempo click track that can be sent to the DFAM. Check the link below for more info on how to do this with your OP-1. www.teenageengineering.com/guides/op-1/tempo
Awesome to see so much positivity in the comments because of the female producers! High fives everyone! Good move, Moog. Now listening to Umfang album and diggin it.
Nothing from Rheyne? Disappointed! :-) Thanks for the manual! As someone who has played with the DFAM since last May, I can attest this is an amazing instrument. BRAVO, MOOG MUSIC and the designer, Steve Dunnington!
I definitely see the connection between weaving and music composition, but, “The first computer was a loom...” Not sure how accurate that statement is... Otherwise, great demonstrations, nice product! 😀
