Moog DFAM Eurorack Drum Percussion Synth: Intro & Overview [Part 1/2] Drummer From Another Mother! 

Dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can stream all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf these days :)

@Coen Brodie yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

I agree. Excellent intro. Second part still to come for me. First part is great!

yes it is.

I've seen this exact same comment on at least 3 other videos on this synth, lol. I always chuckle when I see them because I always find other videos that are just as good, just different.

Thanks! I always enjoyed making those, so I'm very glad to hear that they still get listened to now and then :)

Thanks!

I also ordered one today after watching this. Enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed it! Working hard on part 2 - check back soon.

Thanks!

Tried looking that up with no luck. Can you share a link?

@@nodfactor8808 not a specific episode for the DFAM, just the way CTRL MOD does his overdub sounds like the narrator for the show. theres a sabian cymbal episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DYGRcbKOt4U.html and drumsticks: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nWCDJyOO4_0.html

Thanks!

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!

Sonic Scenarios would love to know your opinion on my videos..

Sure, why not?

You may have found it already but theres a video on the Moog website that shows how to achieve just this.

sounds like DMs Suffer Well

simplestickman , Technically yes this is an official tutorial by Moog ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XFVykv4DV2w.html .

it is already

While I agree that this is not the most spectacular demo as you put it, since there are many other vids that showcase the DFAM making wonderful and weird rhythms and beyond, this is however a great starting point for how to begin to get to know the instrument. - And I say this as a DFAM owner - I too watched the countless other videos where the DFAM is making awesome sounds, and they were in fact what helped “sell it to me”, but after making the purchase I came back to this particular video that clearly laid out the basic starting points for understanding the instrument and then explored my way off into those otherworldly sounds it can produce.

A lot of the value is in the patch bay, it's much more worth it if you own or intend to get a mother 32/ subharmonicon or a full eurorack, or any modern semimodular gear

I don't think they have the capability to make a modern sequencer. They're stuck in the dark ages. But great video and I am going to get one.

Acid Man Nice! I’d get one too if I hadn’t to be as budget conscious as I am. Not even being able to set the number of steps in a percussion sequencer makes me think that I am giving them 200 USD for something that doesn’t have use. But wait... the Mother 32’s sequencer is rather decent, isn’t it? That makes this sound even more expensive. The MFB Tanzmaus will have to stay at the top of my list in the drum boxes department.

I'm just sick of the same damn sounds. All my shit sounds the same and it's driving me nuts. I know new gear isn't the solution, but I like gear. I've heard a few videos with this thing, and well..... I got bit. The 8 steps is rather limiting, but the sonic possibilities are endless.

Limitations make improvisation and experimentation, i think the limiting sequencer is very intentional.

Peter Mossberg I agree but the questions are how much limitation is needed to motivate experimentation while keeping it interesting, and, since this is a commodity, how those limitations are reflected in the price. There’s tons of gear excellent for experimentation under $500 USD (even many below $300). They allow for differing ranges and kinds of experimentation. The DFAM Offers a wide range of experimentation with synthesis and a low range of experimentation with rhythmic organization. Something like the Digitakt, for $50 more, offers a wider range of experimentation with acoustic timbres (since it is a sampler), quite less with synthesis (although can be used as a decent sample based synthesizer), and a lot more with rhythmic organization. From this viewpoint, the DFAM appears overpriced. Now, I understand that in some cases experimentation synthesizing percussive sounds might be the central need. In those cases, people might seen this as appropriately limited and justly priced (mostly if they don’t need to restrict their budgets). In other cases (probably a lot more) people can feel they can get more (or wider) areas for experimentation for a more convenient price.

Which modules did you have in mind?

My Blue Extremes modbrane 11 and modbase 09.

Ah right. Semi mod works for me rather than case and modules..

My Blue Extremes it's a good place to start. Sold all my semi mod and now I have almost 12U of euro that incorporates stuff that doesn't even exist any other way :)

What? A copuple of jomox modules? Nowhere near the amount of craziness this thing supplies

this is only 500 quid and sounds as good as the rest.

Do we? name some please

I too would like to know what are the synths that you're referring to

to make experimental electronic music maybe? or you could stick to your roland tr8 hahaha

If you need to ask, maybe you don't need it. That's fine. Most people will never need a defibrillator or blood transfusion in their lives.

🤘

Get a midi to stereo jack and feed it thru advance.

prospectnyc Believe it or not, we asked Moog what they were calling it (for the exact reason you stated) and they told us D-FAM. But I probably would have called it that anyway :)

Really? Millennials.

I agree. And I think that's great. But "Glitch Percussion From Another Mother" or GPFAM is a bad name, so…

For most people, it was clear what kind of great ANALOG sounds would result...

Fake Wabbit It can do drums too. Easily.

It's enough :)

Every Eurorack RU-vidr says that the Mother-32 and this are a BARGAIN compared even to non-Moog modular modules. Have you compared prices? I would never buy one of the typical Moogs but what the Mother-32 and this have to offer is VERY good for the price A damn Morphagene already costs about 500 Euros!
