This video is designed to give a basic and thorough overview of the Moog DFAM (Drummer from another Mother). The DFAM is a complex, yet simple, percussive synth that can be very hard to get the hang of. This series breaks down the complexities of the DFAM into small and manageable chunks. By the end of the series, you'll have a strong understanding of each part of the DFAM and how it contributes to the overall sound as well as how it interacts with the other parts. Additionally, the videos will cover how to use the patchbay and give helpful pairing tips so you can build your own DFAM patches.
As a bonus - there are some videos on building patches from scratch and videos covering completed patches for you to use.
There are more resources on my Patreon Page including a full color eBook of DFAM patches with links to tutorial videos. The eBook will be updated regularly with new patches and tips.

Thank you so much for the videos, you remember me my uncle who was always curious on discover how the things work, he was a intelligent man like you.

@braintree56 Год назад

Such a great comment! That just made my day!

@NICUofficial Год назад

I also tend to find myself synching from the M32 to the DFAM.. on the other hand when I'm connecting to a larger modular system I prefer having a separate master clock / clock divider module type thing that goes out to everything else including the Mother, so that the M32 doesn't have to be running to get the whole system moving (not the subject of this vid obviously :)

@braintree56 Год назад

Yeah, I've been using Pam's as a master clock. I've actually been encountering problems with using the Mother as the master clock. Sometimes it creates a stutter step and throws everything off right on the initial trigger. It's not all the time, but enough to be an annoyance...

@soniclime121 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic vids Braintree56, so keep 'em coming! I have a general query on syncing to an external drum machine the Berhinger RD-9. I know I need trigger out (there are 3 on the RD-9), but how do we know what PPQ for the DFAM? Also could you offer any advice on adding something like the Ableton Push 3 to your setup and connecting say, MIDI to CV to give more flexibility for pitch control on DFAM? I'd love to see more vids on controlling the DFAM and/or Mother 32 via something like Ableton Push 3. Cheers!

@braintree56 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! For your first question - PPQN doesn't really apply to the DFAM. It moves one step for every trigger (pulse) it gets. So you want each step to be a 16th note, you would have to set the Drum Machine to 4ppqn. If you want each step to be a Quarter note set it to 1ppqn. I don't use Ableton so I won't be able to do any videos on it at the moment. However, I might go down that road eventually. I know that Ableton has CV tools that you could use which - I think - could be used to program in specific pitches. You would have to patch it into the VCO input...

@@braintree56 Thank you for the response, that makes sense! Keep up the good work with the excellent vids and tutorials, defo some of the best I ahve seen on DFAM, Mother and others on RU-vid.

@peterpalko6962 Год назад

Thank you for the great and concise videos! Diving into your videos into each piece and trying to sync up the Sound Studio 3 to run in conjunction with a computer and have units that are able to sens MIDI and/or cv/gate (the DFAM is great piece and hoping to acquire the Serendipity DFAM Thing to amend the DFAM's omission to extend with the reset/stop function...) Could I ask which would be the preferred way to be able to start/sync the Sound Studio 3, the Mother 32 is the ideal candidate to be the first in chain? Keep up doing the great work!

@braintree56 Год назад

Thanks! I prefer the Mother. There is a video on the different syncing options. For me going Mother to DFAM to Sub has been the easiest. With the others you'd have to use multiples or the run/stop is a bit funky. I suppose you could get it to work with another chain - but that's my preferred method.

@arexpressionsphoto 11 месяцев назад

Question: is there swing on the dfam? Thanks. Great vids, thinking of buying one.

@braintree56 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately not. You'd have to clock from something else to get the swing.

@johnkx2484 Год назад

How can I sync Moog Sound Studio to receive sync from Arturia Keystep Sequencer ? I need to send midi out from Keystep to midi in of Mother 32 to make Dfam and Subharmonicon work together with Mother 32.

@braintree56 Год назад

Make sure the switches on the back are set to "internal" on the Keystep. This will set it as the Master Clock. Try that and let me know if it resolves the issue! :)

@johnkx2484 Год назад

@@braintree56 Hi, please, I just tried that and there is no sync in Moog Sound Studio, I used sync cable from sync out keystep to tempo in of Mother 32 and midi out from keystep to midi in of Mother 32 being Mother 32 as primary clock, I mean, assign out Mother to adv clock in Dfam with trigger out Dfam to clock in Subharmonicon. The tempo in of Mother set to mode 2 and 3 and assign out of Mother set to mode 2 and 3.Thanks

@braintree56 Год назад

@@johnkx2484 Ok. Help me understand exactly what the problem is. Are you playing a sequence from the keystep and the DFAM and Subharmonicon aren't syncing up?

@braintree56 Год назад

@@johnkx2484 I just tried it and I was able to sync everything. 1. Make sure the Keystep is set to "Internal" 2. Plug Midi out of the Keystep into the Midi in of the Mother. You DO NOT need to patch from the Sync to the tempo in. 3. Go to the settings menu on the Mother by pressing "Shift+Reset+Set End+8" 4. Go to page 1. and select option 2. 5. Patch from the Assignable output to the Adv of the DFAM. Make sure that the Run/Stop Button is activated. That should do it... Let me know if that works.

@johnkx2484 Год назад

@@braintree56No, I did but only Mother runs the Dfam and Sub don´t work together, I´m playing a sequene from Keystep.

@braintree56 10 месяцев назад

You have it set up right. Do you have another synth that you could plug the Keystep into to ensure that it's not a problem with the Keystep or midi cable?

@johnkx2484 10 месяцев назад

Yes, I have another synth and the problem is the same, the switch is set to internal in Keystep being the Keystep is the master sending sequence into Mother. and I changed my midi cable and channels midi and nothing happens.

@johnkx2484 10 месяцев назад

Hi, I got it, the problem was that the patter bank bottom in Mother must be empty, no sequence recorded, to Keystep send midi master data by midi out with sync ok in Dfam , Mother and Sub, anyway, thanks.
