The Moog DFAM and Mother 32 Synths - Industry game-changers?

[@randommuiscchannel1049]

2 DFams are better than 1; I have 2 and the O-Coast which is hooked up to the SQ1. I setup the basic drum patch on both then start the second DFAM on a different step and get some great syncopated rhythms...

[@simonhmackie]

Love my DFAM -- so much fun, and absolutely slams. I wish I hadn't watched this when Alex brings in the second one, though, as now I want another....

[@spacecash9721]

for real 😆

[@squelch4252]

When the second dfam drops…dangggggg. I need another now

[@CinematicLaboratory]

The Mother 32 and the DFAM are actually the last modules I have added to my already extensive rig - and I've never been a fan of Moog for stupid reasons that make no sense at all. And I have to admit it completely blew me away combined with a RocketScience (not) TUESDAY (sequence, gates), brains/pressurepoints (variety) and good old Clouds (sound beds and reverb). Mindblowingly beautiful and so much fun when combined with other modules. They make any rig shine. DFAM is a genius module that goes beyond it's own case when you reroute the individual VCO outputs. It may be hard to believe these guys because they sound over the top, but they are right on all points and the enthusiasm is absolutely genuine.

Weird watching this in the dystopian future

[@vinylarchaeologist]

Excellent comment. Saw the date. Ouch.

[@sonicneutronic]

If it were $399 I would buy it right now, but it's $799 in Canada - so it will be "Drums from Another Manufacturer" for me.

[@PeteCalandra]

Sonic Neutronic look on eBay or reverb for a slightly used one

[@sonicneutronic]

@@PeteCalandra Why, are they $399 on there?

[@PeteCalandra]

@@sonicneutronic No but there is one for 469 from Perfect Circuit there now and that is quite a bit cheaper than 799 even with the exchange rate.

[@sonicneutronic]

@@PeteCalandra Appreciate the help, but then you have crazy shipping and customs on top of that. Way above my perceived value of $399

[@PeteCalandra]

@@sonicneutronic That's today, I bet in 6 months, the used market will come down in price. Good luck with it....

[@TLGProduktions]

The grooves around 2:00-4:00 (and 5:20 !!!) really remind me of the early Thunderdome records. Awesome!

[@preahko]

the DFAM is so awesome, it really bucks the trend of totally SHIT, canned "grooveboxes" like the Roland TR08, where the goal seems to be "let's see how perfectly we can produce the sounds of 1997," which were already lame and overdone back then. if you want to move dance music forward and do something original, this is the gear you need.

[@aikighost]

@Lord Dr George Dufort LLB ITCCS world HQ Brussels I own a DFAM and its great, but to be hoenst you can get 80% of what it specialises in from the Rusimaker NOIR drum app on the iPad

[@brownmoney27]

i'm usually critical of Andertons synth demos, but this is really well done.

[@Jimbo386000]

I was gonna get a 32 as my first semi-modular synth, but I think the DFAM seems like a better first choice for me.

[@dionysiaex5538]

The best video on the Internet. Mylar Melodies is the DFAM master.

[@xPanDaemonx]

i feel his pain. Wrapping my head around modular, patching and synths is such a heavy topic. So inappreciate that hes trying to get Mylar to explain slowly even though Mylar is super excited about the DFAM. it sounds great

[@MSHRadio-dj5zn]

very nice presentation!

[@Quark.Lepton]

Nice demo! In 2092-when I have enough money to buy a 32 and a DFAM-I’ll be able to do the same. 😂

[@urssounds]

Oh man. The DFAM sounds so sick!!! Gotta get one!!

[@randommuiscchannel1049]

Urs Bollhalder ... no you need 2!

[@urssounds]

Doc Lambo ahh shit. No LEGO for kids this Christmas!! 😬

[@Darwinist]

If Industrial Techno as a genre hadn't existed before the DFAM came out, it sure as hell would have afterwards. It seems like a machine that's just begging to go nuts at the drop of a hat.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Damn, I am really hearing some great sounds on the DFAM....this video flipped my opinion.

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

‘Envelope Generators to change the pitch at the same time’ - this is something I discovered on my Roland System-1m, and indeed this is something that makes that synth shine. I’ve been plugging my Mother 32 back and forth with the System-1m. So this DFAM has a whopping 3 EGs?! That’s two more than the M-32, albeit 2 or 3 stage EGs. I couldn’t stand the little tiny keyboard layout of the M32, this DFAM’s sequencer is offering a whole lot more for this form factor. Somebody us selling this DFAM, I’ve known of it and heard it, but I wasn’t even thinking about it this morning, now I’m hoping that Rudolph comes whizzing like a shooting star and brings Santa down along with my DFAM right with him right now any minute! My mother is lonely, Santa!

[@VinceVega303]

Great video, I do like the sound of these units and keen to purchase but it is all very technical? How can I learn this? Are the various techniques in the manual or would I need to go on a synth course?

[@Mattom-sy7bz]

VinceVega303 you should be able to learn easily enough from the manual/videos online, this video is kind of hard to understand as a tutorial so it might seem a lot more complicated than it really is, I learned on an arturia micro brute just from messing around and it all makes sense eventually :)

[@sombrelux4460]

30:38 god damn

[@chrisolley2762]

“That kinda sounds like hi-hats” “It really does” That’s what swung it for me.

[@seniorbeatbox]

Very cool, but how on earth would you do ambient with this setup?

[@andikellotat5128]

just less fm modulation. make it slow, leave the decay open, use less whitenoise and get a lushy reverb. you can find some ambient DFAM videos here :)

[@SuperTinyeyes]

"in my simple little head" can relate 😂

[@omsound_2793]

Ace.

[@synct]

Until they release the subharmonicon, I'll leave it. But probs get the dfam and the subh when they are both available. The subh is by far the best of the bunch though for my money...

[@Banloca]

oh my woooord this sounds good! im basically a noob when it comes to hardware...does this have midi? or would i have a DAW on record the whole time?

[@dionysiaex5538]

It has no midi.

[@annother3350]

You can sync it though, surely? With a midi to sync box??

[@Wixxerius]

For the people who own a DFAM, does the patchbay have infinite connections ? Or if i patch something wrong, will something explode ?

Did you saw Fukushima? It was a DFAM patched in the wrong way

its mostly basically catched to the same identical rythm, veriations are only in sound and accents...

why isnt the camera on homie's hands? like this would be difficult to follow even if i had these in front of me, this dude seems to be one of the best teachers for the dfam too, bummer

[@OriginalDarkMark]

Mate, I've been working on something similar at home. I'm running a Rye fm engine, with a custom, analog Mayonnaise clock, Lettuce carriers, and my secret weapon, Wiltshire Ham tandem filters. I run dual mono outputs for true stereo reproduction, which can also be reconfigured for dual, dual mono for a quadrophonic experience. I'm attempting an effects insert based on Olives, or Dijon, but it's still early days. Hopefully, I'll be able show my kids a video of you demonstrating one of my synths, one day in the not too distant future.

[@Hellseeker1]

Ohh yea another thing about the modular people bashing these, yea so far all the videos showing these off, people are making music with these. I have yet to see a channel with a big old rack where a guy is making a patch, they just talk about how great each module is but they never make any music. ME:: "boy that sounds bad-ass like NIN or something" Modular Community "Na you don't want to start out with these you want this module and this other module and then you need a case and a power supply and all this other bulllshit" See where I'm going with this?

[@cmangrum1]

HELLSEEKER haha that’s exactly how it feels. I want to get into modular, but you gotta drop fucking $3000 just to get a “somewhat” full system. I’m about to buy a DFAM right now. I’ll start my modular setup next tax season lol.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

God. If I ever get rich I'm going to buy so much Moog crap their share price is going to go up.

[@Hellseeker1]

Why are modular people saying mother 32 is bad for a beginner it seems like the best choice? Let's just say I don't want to spend a zillion dollars on modular is a DFAM and 2 Mother 32's enough? What else do you really need?

[@tommyg5095]

Two DFAMs and one Mother 32, seems to be the better set up.

[@rdoetjes]

What is the appeal of this a-tonal endlessly looping ‘music’? I like my music to have progressions, accents, swing and dare I say it... a human touch.

[@Studio-solutions-com]

You should probably avoid sequencers then... ? lol 😉

[@conormaloney126]

This is techno music. Deep bass and fast rhythms excited people and triggered the instinctive response to dance since humans first figured out how to make drums, thousands of years ago. Like, for example, African drumming music, it's repetitive but contains minor tweaks and also sudden changes of tempo, new rhythms, etc. This particular video didn't have swing, but it did have accents and breaks, and generally speaking, this kind of music progresses over time.

[@TheKorgUser]

boring rubbish sequences...

[@annother3350]

Well make your own fucking sequences.
