Best synth teacher on KZbin hands down

[@humanerror3139]

Best DFAM tutorial on YT many thanks

[@johnnycomelately2370]

I can't believe this is the first time that I've seen one of your videos, clearly the algorithm has got me all wrong. I own the DFAM but even for someone who does not, this is still such a great beginner's tutorial on synthesis in general. Absolutely positively subscribed.

[@ankachernika5171]

The best tutorial ever, thank you soooo sooo much!

[@eatingmusic7873]

this is the best of all DFAM tutorial, thanks!

[@edwardkenworthy7013]

Oh, fantastic! That’s my Saturday afternoon gone 😂

[@XNBeatsMusic]

hahahaha

[@sergiolindolfo]

Yesterday, I dedicated my Sunday to watching your comprehensive tutorial on the Moog DFAM. Even though it was an hour long, every minute was well worth it. I took notes and tried out what I was learning, and thanks to your guide, I feel I've truly grasped how the DFAM operates. I want to express my sincere gratitude for sharing such invaluable content with the community. The way you explained and demonstrated each feature was incredibly enlightening. I was genuinely happy to have learned so much about my Moog DFAM through your video. I'm already looking forward to the Moog Mother 32 tutorial! I'm certain I'll be dedicating another full day just to watch and learn from it. Lastly, I'd like to ask: do you have plans for a tutorial on the Moog Subharmonicon? I would love to see you tackle that instrument with the same depth. To support your amazing work and encourage the continuation of such content, I'll make sure to support you on PATREON. Thank you so much, and please keep up the excellent work! ❤

[@seazenbones6945]

I’m with you Sergio. I’d love to watch a Mother 32 and Subharmonicom video by XNB. If they are as good as this video, they will be the best on KZbin.

[@markandrushko7906]

Your videos are the best…hands down. Nobody does what you do. Please continue…

[@rayderrich]

Fantastic walkthrough of the DFAM, I really appreciate it.

[@adamjlipper]

Fantastic walkthrough. You have a real knack for this!

[@dynatwenty]

your tutorials are so POWERFUL!

[@wh00t]

You have the best audio tutorials on KZbin IMO. Thanks so much for putting in all this effort into covering various gear!

[@seazenbones6945]

Excellent work. I love my DFAM and I’ve had it for a while. I still learnt a lot watching this video. Thank you.

[@ZyrixDeinhardt]

I was anticipating this highly. Thank you!

[@paleblack8021]

I own this synth for more than a year and mostly knew all those things u mentioned, but still enjoyed watching your tutorial... really, best synth walkthroughs, actually you are the one who really helped me to understand K2 patchbay... big respect :)

[@BaltimoreReese]

You came through once again 💫 Thank you 🙏

[@frank_mm]

So great !! very well explained !! Thanks !!

[@markcampbell8460]

Very informative and helpful, thanks!

[@homelessballoon]

Thanks for being such a great teacher!

[@porkchop2471]

Found this doing research on a DFAM to purchase. The most excellent and succinct explanation of this device out of the several hundred I have viewed regarding synthesis and sound sculpting! Cheers (I just wish there was a midi for direct into DAW. Oh well. Cheers again)

[@aseretmusic]

Thanks for your work and passione! We now wait for Subharmonicon deep dive 🖤

[@sarasvatinath3527]

Cool tutorial! Thanks!

[@mantravision69]

Other guides seem to be guys just showing off how much they know, rushing through and jumping around. Your guides actually stay in my head and are inspiring as well, lots of new ideas popping up. Thanks from Australia!

[@blookbleak]

Great Tutorial, thanks a lot!

[@Expectaz]

Thanks a lot, love this deep dive!

[@jonathanyoung6397]

You do fantastic fantastic work, thank you for your contribution to the community. I would love for you to do a deep dive tutorial on the Bitbox Micro from 1010 music... a lot of people have it and it's quit complicated but there's almost no decent tutorial videos for it!

[@edtotman2952]

Excellent tutorial, thanks!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks you very much Ed, it really helps a lot to keep the channel going and keep getting coffee :)

[@Grish_au_lait]

You are great man!

[@gapster77]

Excellent 👌🏻

[@andreas9094]

You are the best!

[@hotchameanshotcha]

this is very well and structured explained, hats off to you. If you have something in that direction about the Taiga, then I'll join patreon. Thank you.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment. Uhh, I would love to do the Taiga. Tried to contact the Manufacturers to see If I could get a discount or something, no luck. Right now, I have no budget to buy a new synth. We'll see in a couple of months. But yeah, I would love to do Taiga.

[@nikitachepurnoi9835]

thaaank u maaaaaan !!!!! you're the best for real !!!!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thank you very much for the comment :)

[@ZyrixDeinhardt]

Moog sells bigger knobs that slide onto the tiny knobs. Really helps me fine tune.

[@seazenbones6945]

Ahh, thanks, I’ve seen them advertised . I thought they were just replacements?!!?!! I will look into purchasing some. Thanks for bringing the improvement of fine tuning to my attention.

[@jizzmaster2000]

Thank you

[@53nzr]

I'm new to semi-modular synths and have a Microfreak and Grandmother besides DFAM. Please, how to connect it so that it receives both tempo and start stop voltages? Ie stays in sync always with other synths

[@the_impossible_kid]

You should be able to link the GM and MicroFreak via midi. Assuming youre using the grandmother as the master clock go from gate out of GM to trigger or adv/clock. Alternatively if the MicroFreak has has a "sync" pot adjust the "ppqn" (pulse per quarter note) you can use that instead of midi for the clock. The grandmother had clock out on the back as well. Hope that helps.

[@pepuletrz]

lets go !!!

[@DayflightTrok]

very good🎉

[@tectonia2605]

The DIG absolutely rules for live performance. With four channels of cv/gate it is not very hard to create multiple voices playing together on the fly. Love it! I will never sell mine.

[@damonopz]

What is the “DIG”?

[@tectonia2605]

@@damonopz Oops, that should read SIG, Stochastic Inspiration Generator.

Danke!

Danke to you sir. The help is much appreciated :)

[@TheJrwalker77]

Please do the subharmonicon!

[@seazenbones6945]

100% agree. I’d love to see a Subharmonicon video as great as this video.

[@DorisDay-lw4xs]

Great tutorial. Only negative is I can’t see the position of a lot of the knobs as the white dot isnt too clear. Otherwise…👍🏻

[@saorcid5326]

Nice one I just got a Behringer edge last Friday 😂

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Mine arrives in 15 days give or take :). But you will find this one useful for sure.

[@saorcid5326]

@@XNBeatsMusic I had it nailed in less than 20 mins. Ive learned a lot about synthesis from your videos even on machines I never owed. To which I'm eternally grateful to you 🫡

[@lvzakal]

will you do a tutorial on the Edge, too?

[@cnfuzz]

made in China ,but put in four screws by Moog employee so 'assembled in usa'

[@edwardkenworthy7013]

You're talking out of your arse. They are all hand built in Ashville, NC. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHqnmqGubZiJqZo&ab_channel=Sweetwater
