"Fully functional, all the knobs, keys and buttons work as they should. Great synth for lush pads, funky basslines and cosmic sound fx and all the fun unpredictability of an old vintage synth. I really love the gigli upgrade beacuse increases the reslolution for sound parameters, faster amd smother filter envelopes, improves the tunning procedure and it has full midi in control of parameters."

this is based on Bob Moogs ladder filter and redesigned updated by yusynth.net . I have made a few small variations but the main design with circuit diagrams etc can be downloaded from yusynth.net.
Instead of making a circuit board i decided to make this one on perfboard just to show that it can easily be made by anybody without having to cnc or etch a board yourself.

DFAM Moog Ambient (not just a drum synth)

Published on Jan 23, 2018 Dreadwvlf

"First night with the new Moog DFAM. I quickly came to realize that this isn’t just a drum synth. This whole track was made with just the DFAM.

This thing is super fun.

Effects were from Boss DD5 delay, Ekko 616 delay, and MXR M300."

DFAM Moog : song 2

Published on Feb 1, 2018 Dreadwvlf

"A big 'thank you' to those of you guys who checked out my first DFAM vid. I’ve been having a lot of fun with this thing since I picked it up!

At the end of my first week with the DFAM I really wanted to get out a second piece of music with it.

I added a few elements from other pieces of gear and sang on this track but nothing too crazy. I wanted to try something on the opposite end of the spectrum from the first DFAM track I posted up showing the unit as a capable melodic synth.

Here’s what’s being used on the song

DFAM : all percussive parts, Bass, textures

Analog Four : main pad

Minilogue : bell sequence

Effects chain - Rat, Ekko 616, DD5, M300

Vocals : that’s me!"

Dave Smith Instruments In The Spotlight With the OB-6 and Layne – Rachel Aiello

You can find the full interview on DSI's website here.

"Formally introduced to synthesis by Suzanne Ciani as her studio assistant, Layne (real name Rachel Aiello) composes field recordings, abstract auditory textures, and rhythmic concrète churns into a hypnotic aural terrain reminiscent of the inceptive work from her seminal female forebears in experimental electronics. Recently released on Karl O’Connor’s legendary Downwards Records, she displays her proficiency in creating a vast soundscape and spatial atmosphere. Most recently, she has performed a collaborative set with Suzanne Ciani for Always On, a Moogfest hosted streaming series.

We chatted with Rachel about how she’s using the OB-6."

Moog’s synth-filled LA bungalow, the House of Electronicus

Published on Feb 5, 2018 FACTmagazine

"Cactus-powered synths, a bed that vibrates to bass frequencies, a theremin-controlled video wall and more.

Last month, Moog transformed a bungalow in Los Angeles neighborhood Echo Park into a synth wonderland called the House of Electronicus, filled with instruments and custom-built installations. Alongside the Asheville company’s new Drummer From Another Mother semi-modular percussion synth, there was a cactus-powered synthesizer, theremin-controlled video screens and even a synth-connected bed that vibrated to different bass frequencies.

FACT visited Moog’s one-of-a-kind house to experience it first-hand, where we spoke with Moog about how it all worked and beat scene linchpin Daedelus on why the new Drummer From Another Mother could be a Moog classic in the making. Watch above, and check out FACT’s photos from the event for more visuals of the House of Electronicus.

Viznutcracker Reel

Published on Feb 5, 2018 Joe Miller

"Experiments with Ornament & Crime 'Viznutcracker, sweet!' mode into Braids generated several minutes of digital glitch sounds. These were then edited into a Morphagene reel (and one-shot sample pack).

The sounds are useful in isolation. Single splices can be looped and stretched into drones, triggered as percussion effects, etc.

Patch Notes: All sounds are generated from Morphagene control via Rene and Pressure Points. The PP selects which reel is played via the top row of voltage relative to the Organize knob. Rene sends static voltage to control both the sample playback speed, and the Echophon's pitch. PP gate pressure is used to change the slice size (more pressure for smaller slices).

Viznutcracker Morphagene Reel can be downloaded at FreeSound.

JD-XA Sound Design: Filter 3

Published on Feb 5, 2018 Stochastic Design

"The analog filter #3 is arguably one of the quirky aspects of the Roland JD-XA that makes it stand out, from a sonic standpoint.

In this video, we explore the chaotic - indeed STOCHASTIC - nature of filter 3, and give a few examples on how a touch of resonance can instantly create an organic sound that can move between screeching and gentle bubbling, or just add a bit of useful noise backdrop to your patch."

Quick synth trick: How to create complex LFOs with wavefolding (MiniBrute 2S, TipTop Fold)

Published on Feb 5, 2018 loopop

"This is a relatively short clip, but conveys an idea I’ve not seen elsewhere. The idea is to get out of the monotony of “standard” repetitive LFO shape modulation by applying a wavefolding to a regular LFO, creating much more rhythmically interesting patterns. These new complex LFO shapes can then be applied to any number of destinations (AMP, filter, oscilliator shape, etc).

I’m showing it using the MiniBrute 2 and TipTop Audio Fold Processor but you can really use any “metalizer” or wave folder for this, as long as you can send it an input and receive its output. Digitone is in the background here sending chord pads to show this can be applied to any source of audio."

007//Spaceport [Melodic] - Mother 32 Modular, Eventide Space, Eventide Timefactor

Published on Feb 5, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A sci-fi, melodic, semi-self-generating modular patch using a small Eurorack setup sent through an Eventide Space modechoverb reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on banddelay setting. No other processing has been applied.

I finally decided to make a patch that wasn't just randomly triggered notes - this is based on a simple looping arpeggio with a bass drone. While playing around with modulation I managed to end up with a loop of 'building up'; the cut-off frequencies, frequency of the synced oscillator, and several other parameters all increase at once before quickly falling. Random stepped voltages from the Mother 32s' Assign outputs make each 'build' unique. I also had bleed from Math's channel 1 LFO through 3 stackcables into the Minimod OSC's v/oct input, which replaced the keyboard output from the arpeggiated Mother 32 - while I ended up liking it in this patch, it's a good reminder to get some proper mixers and multiples, since stackcables aren't perfect!

I decided to call this piece 'Spaceport' because the building and sudden fall made me think of spaceships powering up and then suddenly taking off.

Moog DFAM: External Trigger vs. Internal Sequencer

Published on Feb 4, 2018 JAkoGreyshire

"Here is the Moog DFAM Drummer from another mother being triggered by Pamela's new workout while the DFAMs' sequencer is running.
The Snare sound is the Distings' H7 noise Algorithm. Pam is throwing an envelope at it and modulating the noise type with an LFO at x24 speed to give it that snare rattle sound. Cool trick I thought...
Omsonic Pixel Dust is doing its thing with the high hat sound being swept by Maths Ch#1...
Malekko Noisering is fed into Make noise LxD and the LxD is being gated by the Pulse out on the Erica synths RND module.
Erica synths RND Pluse out is syncing the Intellijel Dixie II+.
The Dixie is in LFO mode and modulating the Malekko Noisering.
LFO and S&H from Erica RND is further modulating the Noisering.
The Noisering is providing the glitchy sound.
The other Disting is being used as a delay which you can see use of at the end of the video...

Honestly I was looking for a way to use the Noisering differently and I came up with this funky groove... it is a good example of the DFAM being triggered by something else while its sequencer is running through some pitch data... If you watch the lights on the DFAMs' sequencer you can see where one bass drum sound will jump between two sequencer steps and do a note glide.... Bass drum Glide!
Hmmm.... I'll have to experiment with that some more....
Sweetness..."
