Generative Patches: DFAM+Mother-32+Subharmonicon. Jam Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

📚 DMS Generative is a collection of 25 patches for the semi-modular system Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32 + Subharmonicon. This genre of sound design is highly popular within modular culture, and the Moog Sound Studio offers an excellent feature set to explore it.
🎛 Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo shifts, pattern uniqueness, the alternation of short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, and glitchy bursts throughout sequences — all of these elements are part of the soundset.
🎚 Generative timbres can serve as a strong addition to, or the main element of, ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots or loops, and obtain unique material for further processing.

🕹 The key idea behind the soundset is a high level of interconnection. In this patchbook, the timbres of the synths are intertwined — they cannot exist independently:
🔹 They modulate each other with LFOs and envelopes.
🔹 A sequence from one synth may change parameters on another.
🔹 Trigger interactions, clock/rhythm, and run/stop modulations break predictable patterns.
🔹 Audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies, intervals, or wild experimental inharmonic tones.
🔹 Alternatively, they can be used as audio sources routed into another synth to be processed through its unique filter and envelope — giving the signal a “second life.”
DFAM, M32, and SUBH each play distinct and defined roles — it’s not a sound mess, but a tightly integrated system where the synths work in close cooperation.

Erebus Grimm - DAWless Jam (TEO 5, Deluge, Taiga, DFAM, Mother 32, B Drum, Sub H, NYX)

video upload by Oakland Ghosts

"I wanted to create a dark sort of melancholy. A fall season sound.

This one started with a patch I built on the TEO 5, and very strange patch on the Taiga. I stole one of the oscillators from the taiga to build a dual oscillator patch on the Mother 32 and then got weird with percussion on the DFAM and the Bastle Drum.

Jim came in and nailed some atmospheric guitars - no easy task for a song that was all vibe no chord progression- Ram Das samples to keep it moving forward, and a ‪@johnnybakecake‬ mix to lock in the melancholy vibe and bring it all together.

Moog Sound Studio Accessory Kit | Assembly

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore everything that comes in the Moog Sound Studio Accessory Kit and assemble a three-tier system.

We begin by selecting three units for a system – in this video we use DFAM, Labyrinth, and Spectravox. We look at how to attach each unit to the rack ears, how to attach the crossbar for stability, and how to attach the patch cable organizer to the top unit. Next, we dive into the summing mixer and power distributor and show how to route audio and power throughout the three-tier system. Finally, we have a jam."

"Reach for the Light" by Lisa Bella Donna | Moog Muse and "Mothership" Modular Mother-32 System

video upload by Moog Music

"Step into this fully immersive performance from master synthesist ‪@LisaBellaDonnaMusic‬, blending sounds from the Moog Muse with her expansive “Mothership” modular system. In “Reach for the Light,” Lisa translates themes of challenge, change, and transformation into sound—weaving live sequences, modulation, and cosmic textures into this inspiring piece of music.

From Lisa:

'Reach for the Light' is a piece that I hope will inspire you to be creative in times of challenge and change. This was performed live on the Moog Muse and my “Mothership” while modulating the piece manually with a Moog Mother-32 bass sequence and percussion provided by a DFAM and Spectravox. The Spectravox is being triggered by a series of selected gates and envelopes. A series of other Mother-32 modules ornament the piece with contrapuntal stereo sequences and celestial FX. The Mother-32s also provide a wealth of voltage skew and attenuation to bring life and realism to envelopes, filters, and amplifiers of other components within the system.

Live effects include a Hologram Microcosm and studio effects include a Moog Delay, ClusterFlux Chorus, Moog Phaser, and Valhalla Reverb plugins.

Stay creative everyone!
~ Lisa Bella Donna"

Spectravox and DFAM | Advanced Physical Modeling

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore the principles of physical modeling synthesis using DFAM and Spectravox.

We begin with a summary of physical modeling synthesis. Physical modeling models an excitation signal (the isolated sound of a finger hitting a drum head, a pick plucking a guitar sting, a bow bowing a cello string) and a resonating body (a drum, a wooden block, a string coupled with a wooden body, etc.). Excitation signals are usually very short sounds full of harmonics and noise – we use DFAM to sculpt a broadband signal with lots of internal dynamics using DFAM’s three envelopes. Spectravox’s ten resonant filters with individual level control are then used to model a resonating body. DFAM’s velocity sequencer further allows us to create a sequence with harder or softer drum hits, while its pitch sequencer can move Spectravox’s filters via the SHIFT input for fascinating tonal changes."

Labyrinth and Subharmonicon | Tangled Transpositions

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we tie Labyrinth and Subharmonicon’s sequencers together for tangled transpositional movement.

We begin by mixing the VCA outputs of each instrument using Labyrinth’s utility mixer. We then show how to quantize Subharmonicon’s two sequencers to generate sequences of octaves and then add those sequences to Labyrinth’s two sequencers to generate polyrhythmic octave transpositions. Labyrinth’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 1 and transposed by Subharmonicon SEQ 2 while Subharmonicon’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 2 and transposed by Subharmoncon SEQ 1. With Labyrinth’s quantizer set to Hirajoshi pentatonic scaling octave transpositions from Subharmonicon work well regardless of western tonality. Using more traditional western scales from Labyrinth we can set the steps of Subharmonicon to values other than octaves (e.g. perfect fourths/fifths) provided we stay in key."

DFAM volca fm2 OP-1 field Dub session : Abstract Drummer 2025-07-26 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece with ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ DFAM, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@KORG_INC‬ volca fm2. A session of minimal, dubby rhythms and synths washed in spatial effects.

The DFAM and volca fm are synced via their SYNC ports.

On the volca fm, a simple pattern is sequenced while applying ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM’s MICROLOOP effect.

On the OP-1 field, the synth is played with DELAY for echo and the CWO effect for modulation.

The DFAM is patched with PITCH → VCF MOD and VELOCITY → NOISE LEVEL for sequencing, with delay added via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II."

Setting Up...

video upload by No Lake

"Just a few words to let you know that I'm still here. I'm currently working on the new era of my music. It's heading in the direction I wanted it to go. I introduced you to the concept of Brussels School, which means everything and nothing, and I realize that it's ultimately something that suits me.

So what's next? I'll gradually introduce you to jams based on this concept. Rather long pieces that take the time to establish an atmosphere. Something absorbing, bewitching, with a hypnotic and almost insidious rhythm. Something along the lines of "Illusion" or "Hypnosis," which were two of the channel's top three hits. I take this as proof that I'm on the right path.

As explained three weeks ago, there will no longer be videos every week. They will arrive when they arrive. The long-term idea is to rework all these jams to create a real album centered around a single philosophy, but this is another story for later.

Wishing you a great day! See you soon.

"Through Hills From Sky" synth jam w 0-Coast, Starlab, Arbhar, OB-X8, DFAM, Hydrasynth, Keystep Pro

video upload by Tim Grogan

"Live recorded DAWless synth jam into Pro Tools for mixing purposes only. I wanted to do some music that felt uplifting at a time that I know is emotionally draining and challenging right now, especially for those of us in the U.S. who don't belong to the political cult that's currently in existence.
'Through Hills From Sky' is really meant as a way of saying we'll get through this if we keep our heads up and stay positive, focused on a bigger picture."
