Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32. 50 Combo Patches. Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Welcome to the soundset for a semi-modular system Moog Sound Studio: DFAM + Mother-32. It is a collection of 50 patches that include basses, drums/percussion, leads, plucks, textures, FXs.
There is a wide range of sound colors inside the pack: massive and gentle, aggressive and soft, bright and dull, melodic and inharmonic tones, straight and polymetric patterns.
🔮 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/3x756yg

Highlights:

✅ high level of interconnection of the synths
✅ thoroughly set parameters
✅ detailed notes for patches full of tips and tricks
✅ audio examples in 3 versions: DFAM only, M-32 only, both together
✅ to recreate these patches you need up to 12 patch cords
✅ one of my hardest work ever, I spent up to 2 hours for each patch
✅ FREE BONUS: 150 samples with Scale and BPM (70-128 BPM), Wav 24/44100

The main point of the soundset is the high level of interconnection, not just syncing the two synths with independent timbres (individual presets for DFAM and Mother-32 are also available on my website). In this patchbook the timbres of the synths are soldered and can’t exist separately:
🔸 they modulate each other with LFO and Envelopes
🔸 a sequence from one synth change parameters on the other one
gates and triggers interaction breaks predictable patterns
🔸 audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies/intervals or crazy experimental inharmonic tones
🔸 or they may be used just as audio sources that go to the other synth to be processed with its (different) filter and envelope and get the «second life».

At the same time, they play different and clear roles, it’s not a sound mess, but two synths working in close cooperation.

1010 Bitbox Micro/MK2: Multisampling is easy and fun!

Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video Nick Bigelow of Patchwerks walks us through multisampling on the new 1010 Bitbox Micro. Using the Moog DFAM as a sound source Nick is able to quickly create accurate polyphonic samples which he triggers using the Novation Launch Pad Pro Mk3.

1010 Bitbox Micro:
Bitbox micro provides Eurorack sampling for smaller racks and smaller budgets. In only 18 HP of rack space you can get a touch screen based sampler with support for 8 stereo sample pads. Now you can record samples directly into the module or load them from the microSD card. Trigger your samples via CV or MIDI, then apply effects and mix the outputs. Save your configurations to multiple presets for later reuse.

"Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM) is a highly-interactive, Semi-Modular Analog PercussionSynthesizer and a vibrant deviation from the traditional drum machine. As the newest addition to theMother-32 family, DFAM presents a uniquely expressive hands-on approach to percussive patterncreation, inviting a deeply personal bond with each human being it encounters.

Emphasizing tactile exploration and experimentation, DFAM inspires completely new and uniquemanners with which visceral rhythms can be synthesized, expressed, and experienced. DFAMeffortlessly moves from gently evolving undulations and cyclical breathing patterns to hammering bassand clangorous cacophony, but the true beauty of this unique instrument lies in its ability tocontinuously spark inspiration through the repeated discovery of new and dynamic perspectives inpercussive synthesis."

Why Eurorack is AWESOME: 5 wish-list features added to DFAM by Moog

Published on Apr 10, 2018 loopop

"In my review of DFAM and the comparison to Mother-32, I mentioned a few features that Mother-32 had and DFAM didn’t. The ability to have different length sequences – either less or more than 8 steps, the ability to sequence notes, not just continuous pitches, an LFO, glide and ratchets.

And as you know me, if a feature is on my wishlist, I’m going to do my best to make it happen.

This video focuses on the beauty of eurorack and semi-modular synths – where either through internal patching or with the help of a handful of modules, you can get almost everything you want.

Alongside Moog’s DFAM, I use Polyend Seq, Expert Sleepers Disting in Quantize and Slew modes, and a cool new analog quad LFO module called VariFO from a new modular company called VoicAs (I’ll be reviewing this in an upcoming video because it has a few cool features I’ve never seen before - here's their site: http://voicas.audio)"

026//Uneasy Dreams - Moog DFAM & Mother 32s modulating Eventide Timefactor (ambient)

Published on Jun 2, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A, melodic semi-self-generating patch using a 2 Mother 32s and a DFAM sent through an Eventide Space hall reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on moddelay setting.

After 022//Electric Dust where I modulated the Space with the M32, the obvious next step was to modulate the Timefactor. I found it worked best to not constantly be modulating it, and ended up with this classic soft ambient track broken up by unexpected pitch shifting.

PATCH NOTES:
The lower M32 runs the main repetitive sequence, while the top M32 supplies the bass notes and the DFAM supplies the atonal sound effects (these are FM with the amount modulated by an LFO). The higher M32 and DFAM are randomly triggered by the lower, but with the sequencer glitched so that they run at 1/12 the speed they should. The envelope of the higher M32 controls the modulation of the Timefactor, which is why the pitch shifting happens just before the bass note changes. The outputs of the 3 synths are mixed together and sent 100% wet through the delay, and finally, random stepped voltages affect many parameters, such as the filter cutoff of the filter affecting the main sequence.

Nelasma - "Crushed" - Dramatic Orchestral Melodic Techno - Modular Synth Live Jam - DFAM

video upload by Nelasma

"Oh my I did it again this weekend and now I'm coughing around again... sigh... at least its not as bad as three weeks ago... tho I wanna have fun again without getting sick hahaha... A-NY-WAY!

I still managed to get together some kinda orchestral vibe techno jam for you good people! Actually wanted to finally make DFAM the main actor but well.. while playing around I made those sweet stabs on the ensemble oscillator and that inspired me for the rest of the jam.

Like in the last jam I wanted to experiment more with the delay and used some bit crushing algorithm from nautilus. Sounds kinda broken sometimes but fits the vibes and the state of my immune system.

Unto the end I managed to dial in some phase cancellation of the Bassdrum which is normally a no-no for me but well.. It was still ok and since it was clocked it still was kinda rhythmical.

So yeah a little jam with broken sickness vibes haha..
And hopefully I'm back at my 100% soon.

As always raw into OBS, no post processing, intentions and mistakes ;)

Muscarin Synthesizer demo (playing only)

Published on Apr 16, 2020 Phaneronaut

Since recording this video I've released a whole album built around the Muscarin. You can get it for free at https://phaneronaut.bandcamp.com/albu... But beware, it's strange.

This is a kind of demo of the new(ish) Muscarin drone and noise synthesizer by kNoB technology. I tried to feature some of the functionality of the synth in the improvisation. But as I only got this a day ago, I haven't explored the machine even close to fully, in fact there are some parts of the architecture that I don't quite understand yet."

Muscarin Synth & Moog DFAM

Published on Apr 16, 2020 Phaneronaut

"Another (kind of) demo of the new(ish) Muscarin semi-modular drone and noise synthesizer by kNoB technology, this time pairing it with the Moog DFAM percussion synthesizer. The DFAM sequences and gates (via its trigger out) oscillator 1 of the the Muscarin. The DFAM also triggers Muscarin's envelope. There's a little bit of reverb added, no other effects."

Moog Triple Threat: Subharmonicon, DFAM, and Mother 32

Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video Nick Bigelow of Patchwerks performs on the Subharmonicon, DFAM, and the Mother 32. Enjoy the hard hitting drums from the DFAM, polyrhythmic melodies of the Subharmonicon, and sultry synth lines from the Mother 32!

From Moog:
'Subharmonicon is a semi-modular polyrhythmic analog synthesizer that employs a 6-tone sound engine and multi-layered sequencers to explore the world of subharmonics, polyrhythms, and the unique relationships they create.

Subharmonicon’s characteristic sound starts with two analog VCOs and four Subharmonic Oscillators for a total of six powerful sound sources. Each subharmonic tone is mathematically derived from one of the two main VCOs, giving the resulting chord shapes a beautifully coherent quality. Onboard quantization lets you dial in perfect intervals every time with selections for multiple tuning systems. Choose from contemporary Equal Temperament settings, the heavenly intervals of Just Intonation, or the unlimited freedom of no quantization at all.

Animating Subharmonicon’s distinctive chord shapes is done through a polyrhythmic pair of 4-Step Sequencers. Each sequencer is clocked by any or all of four Rhythm Generators that output mathematical divisions of the master tempo. Layer multiple Rhythm Generators on top of each other to create complex polyrhythms and discover inspiring new patterns and styles. Delve into Subharmonicon’s dual Envelope Generators, Moog Ladder Filter, and analog VCA to call up dynamic articulations ranging from lush pads and blurred edges to percussive plosives and ritualistic rhythms.'

Acid Techno Modular Synth Jam with TR-909 and DFAM - Unpatching or How I Patch

video upload by Honeysmack

Timeline below.

"In this video I "unpatch" a little Acid Techno modular rack I've been rocking for a few months. Truth is, I didn't really unpatch, more of a "how I patch" — I walk through and explain how I use modules and their sound/function. This channel is supported by my Patreons, become a member here: https://www.patreon.com/honeysmack

🎛 Focused modular voices 🎛
🔸 Cwejman BLD2 making the 303ish sound
🔸 Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter - mad percussion sounds
🔸 Noise Engineering Loquelic Iteritas - lead, bass or rip your head off!
🔸Michigan Synth Works SY0.5 - Pearl Syncussion clone, analog percussion secret weapon.
🔸Endorphines Queen of Pentacles - 909 inspired multi-drum voice module with effects.
🔸Moog DFAM - killer percussion and synth module with onboard 8-step sequencer.

Merely scratching the surface in this video. So strap in and grab a nice coffee or tea. It gets a little long, so perhaps my next unpatching video will dive deeper how I specifically use certain modules. Please feel free to ask!

🕹 The jam I unpatch is available here, with no talking, straight up jam: [posted here]

My modular gear and set-up is in a constant state of flux and I change up my rack every 3 months, thereabouts. That is the beauty of modular synths, you design your own synth. There are no, right or wrong ways to do this, it is all very subjective. Hence, you get an insight to my way of thinking about how I make Techno."

02:04 Audio and MIDI routings
04:09 Module overview
08:21 Intellijel Metropolis - and how I'm not a traditionally trained musician.
12:04 BLD2 focus, that's Bass -Lead & Drum Generator to earth people.
13:54 Add that 909 and jamming
15:05 Basimilus Iteritas Alter - hard to pronounce, best percussion all-rounder
18:10 Loquelic Iteritas - a tale of 2 pitches
22:52 Continue the jam, that's what we came for
24:37 Cockpit2 - mixer module with that sweet side-chain pump
27:33 SY0.5 and Queen of Pentacles, serious percussion investments, shhhhhh don't tell everyone
32:15 Queen of Pentacles, the Queen is very much alive
35:29 I do like to jam, no seriously, I do ask anyone who doesn't know me
36:06 Drummer from another mother or DFAM to you and me!
37:37 Please add 909 to that DFAM, thanks maaaaaaate
39:13 Versio - reverb from the versatile vampire
41:56 Get a little crazy jamming with the reverb
43:43 Outro and thank you

Upgrading the DFAM

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"In this video I'll show you how I "upgraded" my DFAM from Moog with bigger knobs. Whenever I tuned the single steps on the DFAM it took me quite a while to get it right, so I decided to give the DFAM knob set from Thonk a try. You'll need a bit of patience to install them all properly, but it's doable in about 5-10 minutes all in all. And it does look pretty nice in the end, don't you think?
