Product information

General

Moog's DFAM 'Drummer From Another Mother' is a semi-modular analogue drum synthesizer that lets anyone compile impressive drum sounds and rhythms without any prior knowledge or experience whatsoever. The DFAM is easy to use and is equipped with two oscillators (with square and triangle waveforms), a white noise generator and an external audio input. Sounds can be created using the oscillators and the white noise generator. There's also an 8-step analogue sequencer with pitch and velocity controls for programming dynamically rich sounding beats.

Moog DFAM Drummer From Another Mother

This drum synth can easily be used on its own, but it's also equipped with no fewer than 24 mini jack patch bays that make it clear that it has serious connection possibilities on offer too. The DFAM even comes with 5 high-quality Moog modular patch cables and connecting it to other equipment opens up virtually limitless possibilities. Just imagine connecting a second DFAM or a Mother-32! Be sure to read through all the specifications and take a look at the video to get an idea of everything the 'Drummer From Another Mother' has to offer.

Moog DFAM Drummer From Another Mother Drum Synth

This is so much fun to use, and more versatile that you might expect. Really punchy, gritty, slick, popping. Can also generate amazing bass lines and drones.

Moog DFAM Drummer From Another Mother Drum Synth

Heerlijke analoge machine. Geweldige percussie geluiden kun je hier uit halen. Ik jam er veel mee en zorg dat ik alles opneem. Later knip ik er stukjes uit wat ik gebruik als aanvulling van mijn tracks. Echte Moog kwaliteit en een zeer origineel apparaat.

Moog DFAM Drummer From Another Mother Drum Synth

C'est synthé est un monstre !

Très puissant pour générer des percussions organiques et profonde, il est aussi agile dans la création de patterns de basse ou de lead psy et acid.

C'est du son moog, top !
Manufacture moog, top !
Utilisation moog top et intuitive !

Moog DFAM Drummer From Another Mother Drum Synth

Het is wellicht niet de meest veelzijdige machine van Moog, maar het klankkarakter en de ritmische mogelijkheden zijn uniek. Voor wie houdt van drums buiten de gebaande paden is hier veel ruimte voor experimentatie!

Moog DFAM Drummer From Another Mother Drum Synth

De DFAM koop je niet om een heel ingewikkelde drumpartij in elkaar te zetten; de DFAM koop je voor de sound en om er lekker mee te experimenteren. Op het oog een simpel apparaat, maar ga ermee aan de slag en je ontdekt elke keer weer wat nieuws. En een heerlijk vol analoog geluid natuurlijk. Enige kennis van klanksynthese is wel nodig en houd er rekening mee dat er geen midi-aansluiting op zit. Synchroniseren (en andere ritme's maken) doe je dus met een cv-gate uit je controller of een ander apparaat. En inderdaad: het is meer dan een drumsynthesizer: met een beetje experimenteren haal je van alles uit dit apparaatje.
