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.

Make Noise Black & Gold Shared System ++

"The Black and Gold Shared System is the latest revision of MakeNoise's early flagship. The star of the system is undoubtedly the DPO; a rich implementation of the West Coast complex oscillator pioneered by Don Buchla. Capable of wide range of tones with multiple outputs available simultaneously. It can also be used as 2 completely independent oscillators. The interaction of the 2 oscillators is high dynamic via the integrated mod bus and enhanced by a unique 'follow' circuit.

VCA, mixing and 'gate' functionality is provided by the Optomix and Moddemix, the latter of which also includes a unique ring mod implementation.

The DPO is ably supported by a wide variety of control options including a highly interactive touch interface as well as sophisticated and dynamic rhythmic control.

This unit was originally purchased with the mk1 version of Rene. It has been upgraded with the mk2 and an additional Brains module was added to the Pressure Points module to enhance the rhythmic potential of the interface.

I am including the original mk1 to enable it to be reset to original condition of if you want to explore a slightly simpler sequencing option.

The system is arguably a richer more up-to-date example Buchla's Music Easel that trades richer sequencing potential for the larger keyboard of the Buchla instrument."

Make Noise System Cartesian Modular System + extra modules



via this Reverb listing

"The System Cartesian allows for a playful exploration of both tonal, harmonic music and west coast style synthesis with digital and analogue oscillators. Bothe the Telharmonic (digital) and STO (analogue) oscillators are now discontinued and both offer unique functionality.

The System Cartesian is a very elegant package that offers sophisticated touch sequencing with the Rene 2 and is capable of a wide-range of timbres and tones. The Telharmonic offers 3 completely different types of digital synthesis (additive, Phase-Mod and a digital noise generator) all of which are available simultaneously. The controls allow the different methods to be blended in interesting, dynamic ways.

The core system is very capable, bit this system additionally includes the XOH output module that performs a little better than the older Rosie module. The Rosie has been returned to the case as this was the original configuration.

Also included is a Makenoise Tempi module that is the same size as the Wogglebug. The Tempi allows for more dynamic and sophisticated clocking of Rene's multiple axes and Maths transient generators. The Tempi allows for the System Cartesian to take on a more rhythmically dense guise.

"Sounding good, but only playable at the moment via CV /gate - the keyboard is not working. Probably a simple fix! Cosmetically it is very good. One little slider top is missing, and the washers on the sockets at the back have got a bit rusty. But otherwise really nice. UK voltage and plug, serial number F1030. With an original user manual - decent condition but well-used.

The synth came to VEMIA in an extremely heavy-duty flightcase - see next lot - we will want to ship that separately, but it would be ideal for hand delivery and storage. Packing 9GBP."

Erik Norlander's Farfisa Compact Duo CD/30 Dual Keyboard Organ

"A rare vintage combo organ with that unmistakable Farfisa sound. Removable, fold-out bottom reveals fold-down legs (one or two screws missing but still functional) and hard-wired power cable. Cable connects to the external Farfisa F/AR unit which provides power and contains the spring reverb. This unit is functionally good but it could use some internal contact cleaning in a few areas. We coaxed some very usable tones out of it in the demo video! The case itself has been "well-loved," showing moderate surface scuffs from travel.



This is the Compact Duo CD/30, one of Farfisa’s higher-end models from the late ’60s; basically a two-manual version of the Compact with expanded voicing and richer tone-shaping options. A favorite among garage rockers, psych bands, and analog synth fans alike.

Features:

Two manuals (upper and lower keyboards) for split/layered playing
Vibrato, tone boost, and percussion controls
Bass and organ voices with classic Farfisa tabs
Mark I version
The Compact Duo was used extensively by Pink Floyd (Echoes, etc.); a favorite for its gritty tone and punchy presence on stage and in the studio.

Erik Norlander's Farfisa Combo Compact I 61-Key Organ

"Vintage Italian combo organ with classic '60s tone in a sharp-looking chassis. It sounds awesome, especially through FX pedals. 60s Brit pop sounds, naturally, but also early Pink Floyd psychedelic vibes. This unit needs repair, but it’s a great low-cost restoration project for someone handy!

The unit powers up and makes sounds, but the voltage to the keyboard needs adjusting. In the embedded YouTube demo video, a successful demo can be heard in the C scale, but all of the following keyboard voltage issues exist (potentially among others): C in the bass octave plays an F below; B in the bass octave plays a D# below and is too soft; G# in the bass octave is too soft.

Other issues:

Vibrato doesn't work. All Vibrato switches have some effect on the tone, but there is no actual vibrato
Reverb doesn't work. Reverb has a tube preamp (cool!)
Bass 16 / Strings 16 - same issues as bass octave but an octave higher
Bass 16 / Strings 16 - C2 and B2 do not sound
Flute 8 / All 8' stops - same issues as #6 and 7 but an octave higher again
Top C note sticks mechanically
This lot does NOT include the bass or volume pedals.

This organ is built in combination with its own carrying case. The top lid is removed to reveal the organ, and the bottom opens up to storage for wires and the fold-out, built-in legs (shown in some of the images). This lid is missing the suitcase-style carrying handle, which is likely easily replaceable. The case itself also has a crack on the right side.

The Farfisa Compact is known for its bright, buzzy organ tones and reedy bite, perfect for psych rock, garage, and early synth-pop textures. Whether you’re restoring it for stage use or just want that iconic combo organ flavor in your studio, this is a great piece to start with.

Details:

Multiple tone tabs for organ voices and percussion
Built-in vibrato (needs repair, as mentioned) and tone booster
49 keys with bass section on lower range
There is nothing like the sound of a Farfisa organ. Heard on classic tracks by Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The B-52s, these organs helped define the sound of '60s and '70s rock, and still holds its own in modern music.
