The Moog DFAM ‘Drummer from Another Mother' is a semi modular analogue percussion synthesizer. As the first extension of the Moog Eco system the DFAM presents itself as an expressive drum synthesizer for creative percussion patterns and rhythms. Thanks to intuitive operation, rhythmic compositions can be made by people of all ages with no previous experience.
Flexible Sound Generation
Driven by an analogue sequencer, DFAM´s sounds are based on a white noise generator and 2x analogue oscillators with a wide pitch range, which can be effortlessly faded between rhythmic beats, reverberant basses and lingering bell sounds. The enormous potential of this instrument was realised through research and space experimentation.
Classic Moog Low/High-Pass Filter
DFAM's distinctive voice is shaped by a classic Moog Ladder filter, in 2x selectable modes:
3x Envelopes for Vivid Sound Design
DFAM behaves almost like a living organism that reacts differently to individual events. Three dedicated envelopes dynamically work with the sequencer to create breathing drums, evolving industrial sounds, total chaos or restrained sounds with a twist of a button.
Patch-Bay for Bizarre Sounds and for Eurorack Integration
New sounds or strange patterns can be created via the modular 24-point patchbay. DFAM can also be perfectly integrated into modular Eurorack synthesizers.
The main features of the Moog DFAM include:
Really fun to play and experiment with that thing!
Moog build quality and sound due to among others their famous filter.
And it is also a good introduction to modular system thanks to the modular patchbay.
the Moog DFAM is a remarkable little synth for creating weird and wonderful synth percussion sounds. If you make techno, this is a must in your arsenal
Takes more time to learn than the mother 32 but very versatile, patching to mother 32 adds alot of extra depth between the two.
Just as random as the volca drum with the sound pallette but far superior sound quality.
