The wonderful things people can do when they have two mothers

The transition from 18:20 to 19:22 is PERFECTION. This whole piece, I just finished it. Texture, vibe, groove, all just effing on point

[@benjaminbrodie9801]

You make it look easy! I'm always amazed by your jams. They sound excellent. However, I don't know how you make it look so easy. It would take me 6 months to figure this out. Keep up the great work.

[@SamuelCEllis]

Nice lighting. That’s what I’m appreciating. And the screen looks very nice in the shot.

[@damianu2360]

Superb, especially like 9:15 break. The layers and melody are great in this, and the beat is hype!

[@jeremjerem]

Melody master ! Love how you bring nice Melody on your tracks

[@Cosmic_Sunrise]

DUDE. This is so good. As a someone still closer to the beginning phases of learning how to really hone in on my own modular synthesis creations, this is so inspiring, not to mention phenomenal. You have that Moog system dialed in - such fat tones. Loving the minimalist vibe. Shout out to all of the radical people in the comments section, too.😎🪐🔥🔥🎵🎛🎚🎧

[@kevinbatchelor9566]

Damn fine work, as always.

[@ashtomtube]

This is pure and focused. Nice work!

[@LloydRobinson]

Fantastic performance 😊

[@yvesmuhlheim840]

Sir, you’ve had done a great job

[@unknownartist0101]

Thank you mate, just when I needed something like this.

[@koalemos1679]

That's the most expensive EM-1 I've ever seen 🤣 Good stuff 🤌

[@grillskillz]

Nicely done! I want a DFAM now....

[@straunwagner6322]

so good!

Well recommended gave us something worth recommending, nice

The algorithm abides 🚀

[@gapster77]

Very very nice.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Ehsan! Absolutely love these minimal setup jams, they're so enjoyable to listen to and incredibly inspiring! As always I have a few questions. I can hear some fx on the lead melody but can't see anything - are you routing them into the DT and using internal FX (the reverb doesn't sound like the DT)? Or the usual Big Sky + Timeline hidden somewhere?. It also looks like you are sequencing the mothers with the DT this time (I feel like your previous pieces used the built in sequencers). Finally, what in the world is the visualization on the monitor? It looks like a spectrograph but rendered using ASCII! I must also agree with some other commentors, the DFAM is the pièce de résistance. It's not only gluing everything together but also adding that special something. It's a shame they've increased in price due to reasons... Thank you!

[@EhsanGelsi]

Cheers Marc, glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time punching the patterns! Yes, all sequenced with the takt. Got a cvocd running clock to the dfam. I'm recording everything into cubase, and just have a bit of reverb on the channels in there, so using it a a mixer and tape deck! I've got Overbridge getting the takt into the computer too. Life's easy with 1 usb cable! The visualisation is just Cubase's built in spectrograph plugin Supervision - nothing fancy! And yeah, I got into dfam in a new way here, still getting to know that thing!

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

@@EhsanGelsi thank you so much for the response as always. It’s amazing how awesome it sounds yet how simple the setup is. Will never get tired of listening 😁!

[@knobsstrings]

This is amazing! 🙌

[@avantlanuit]

bien cool _ bravo

[@Unifono2012]

So impressive

[@immyvideo]

[@sinepilot]

Might just be my imagination but it seems like the new fascinating areas this piece goes to are generally led by tweaks to the DFAM? The way that thing can alter the mood by the blending/syncing of the VCOs...I've had it a year and still just barely scratched it's surface

[@EhsanGelsi]

You know what, i think I feel exactly the same way 🍸

[@max-on9jq]

yes

[@mathickling223]

Ok I gotta know, are all 8 midi tracks on the DT running? I noticed you'd mute/unmute all 8 of them. Given you've only got the 2 mothers receiving midi, since I can only see the DFAM receiving Adv/Clock.

[@EhsanGelsi]

Yo! I'm using 8 sample tracks and 2 midi tracks on the takt. Like you say, dfam gets its clock from the cvocd. I don't think I ever mute all the midi tracks (bottom row)? Very occasionally I mute the first one. The others are just laying dormant. I do however do lots of muting of the sample tracks (the top row). Lemme know if you see something I don't tho!

[@mathickling223]

@@EhsanGelsi Hah, no you're absolutely right, been a minute since I've fired up my DT. Had my rows backwards, thought midi was top. As you were, carry on :)

[@frankschafer1505]

awesome! how did you sync them?

[@CaalamusTube]

Both Mother32s have MIDI running in... in case you weren't familiar with where the port is. But that's as close as I can get to answering your question :P

[@sinepilot]

The clue is in the monitor I think 😁

[@EhsanGelsi]

Hey! The computer is just a tape deck here. You can see my little Quadra Thru blinking behind the Mothers, and the CVOCD to the right of them for the DFAM, so takt-quadra-cvocd/moogs 🎷

[@sinepilot]

@@EhsanGelsi On the one hand, I'm sorry for the implication. On the other hand, I did get you to answer the question muahahaha! 😇

[@EhsanGelsi]

@@sinepilot haha! No apology necessary! 🎷
