DFAM | Drummer From Another Mother

- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- Moog Music introduces the Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM), the first addition to the Mother eco-system of semi-modular analog synthesizers. DFAM is an original electronic instrument for the exploration of new concepts in rhythm and resonance.
DFAM’s fully analog circuitry behaves much like a living organism, reacting in different ways to input from different individuals. Moog Music enlisted three artists to demonstrate the sounds of the new instrument: DJ Haram, Stud1nt, and Umfang--all members of NY’s Discwoman collective. Watch as they explore the new Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer from their own personal creative spaces.
Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM) is a highly-interactive, Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer and a vibrant deviation from the traditional drum machine--presenting an expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation. Through exploration and experimentation, the vast potential of this expressive analog instrument is realized.
DFAM has already begun shipping from the Moog Factory and is available now at Authorized Moog Music Dealers worldwide.
DFAM's full specification can be found here: www.moogmusic.com/products/se...

![Moog DFAM Eurorack Drum Percussion Synth: Intro & Overview [Part 2/2] Drummer From Another Mother!](/img/n.gif)
The DFAM is my favorite instrument. I have 4 Moog Synths and in fact when people ask me what instrument I play I say the DFAM
I was like "nah I don't need this". I bought one couple of months ago and it's my favorite gizmo by far. If you're into any kind of techno, industrial, dark ambient, electro etc. you're gonna have a lot of fun.
Haven't paid attention to this until now. This evening, watching this video, my jaw literally dropped. WHAT A NICE LIL' MACHINE!!!
Being a huge Moog-fan, I gotta say: ONLY Moog makes stuff this sonically aggressive, yet pleasing.
Glad Moog has decided to actually get this thing into our craving hands! Congratulations.
the dfam is a beast. these little short films from moog have such an intimitating vibe. but this little synth has also the ability to be super sweet :-)
do i want to buy a dfam or a plant? hard to choose
my reaction as well.... LOL
Is the plant polyphonic?
Get yourself a plant. It´s cheaper and much more versatile to use for serious music-productions
Can’t wait to have a family reunion at my place. Bring on the other drummers, brothers and sisters FAM!!
I hope there are awards for product demos. This is beautiful.
5:37 that whole sequence sounded dope af
not sure if they used an external sequencer :/
Ooosh Lovely stuff as expected from Moog !! Skip forward 3 years we will have a Mother / Father / Sister & Baby euro style Moog system !! I cant wait - Thanks Moog '-)
Excellent video and very cool new drum synth. Tempted by this more than I was the Mother. Good work, Moog!
This sounds awesome! Moog managed to create something unique here, and not just another drum machine. @5:38 and @7:33 sounds amazing!
Way too cool. I'll be adding this to my Moog collection!
Bet that cat at 1:34 was on some catnip thinkin yeah this beat is dope meow
If had this since it came out and its the only synth/module that I cannot ever get tired of. I love it "limitations" and I love its range! I'm thinking I may need to get another one.
Pretty badass, I would love to add that gem it to my setup!
ACE
sup mylar
send this guy one of those things to demo and don't worry about the rest. :)
Get one, mylar!
You know what's funny...I was thinking about making a down payment on a car soon...hahahahaha
You knew what you were doing when you clicked this video, you knew the potential risks.
A car? Very limited in the sounds it can make. I think the DFAM will be much more flexible.
man think realistically, a car cant give you the same what this machine does... this is abstract shit, car is common!
With the words of Hans Zimmer "The question was, a Mini Moog or a car?.... I still don't drive" :)
Now if there was a Moog horn mod....
Thank you for the music and the inspiration.
This looks so much more appealing than the mother 32. Thanks Moog for bringing this out!
the stuff they're coming up is SICK.
Good and rich, nice sounds ! So cute, every girl and cat !
Excellent upload, thanks for sharing (Y)
I'm digging this. Can't wait until Anaheim!
and you know if the cat is starring, its gotta be special!
Thanks for a video, great sound
Are they using any external sequencers, and how many Dfams are being used at once in each demonstration?
I am getting two of these! Love it! Peace Christo 👍🏻🎶👽
These patches are absolutely nuts.
It's nice to see young people exploring, creating, expressing themselves through the medium of electronic music. And Moog stuff rules!
This is amazing!
Love it!!
Love this!
The single greatest disclaimer I've ever seen before anything-- "This video contains complex harmonic content." Awesome.
Fantastique machine, really is amazing!
Things I like:
1) FINALLY Mood did something else than another minimoog iteration
2) All the patches in the video, so basically I like the sound.
Things I don't like:
1) So much hp and so small step knobs.
2) Correct me if I am wrong but the step length is fixed to 8 steps, no reset input.
Clever marketing.
So does this have midi in for sync or do you have to trig steps with a CV pulse?
Glad to see more than 1 dfam in action
Love it!
Is there anyway to get it to run in i.e. 3/4 or is it always running the full eight step length?
Does anyone know who created the sounds/ song from 2:00 to 2:30 and what equipment was used? I am in love with the sound...
Cool stuff!
Will this be available in classic MOOG format (1/4 inch) or is it only available in mini-jack euro-rack format?
can we have the patch for the sounds at 5:15?
You've got a new fan!
great instrument. one question: is it possible to create odd time signature sequences, i.e. 7/8 or 5/4?
Did you ever find out?
I can't wait to do a Versus between this and my Vermona DRM1 Wooh Whooth!
YES!! I was hoping moog would officially release this.
Is all the audio in this clipfrom the drum machine?
These clever bastards. We all thought they were integrating with Eurorack, when really they were making their own Volca line all along! (Though it's still integrated with Eurorack). Great stuff.
Maverick imagine if the do a Poly synth next. I’ll have to have all 3.
Haut Strange Moog One just came out. Your dreams have come true. Lol
How do you sequence it?
Love it.
Can't wait to see what
NIN, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk,
etc. are going to do w/this!!!
Matthew Paluch also me 😉
Unfortunately Kraftwork may not be doing too much with this one. So sad.
Industrial magic Trent approves
Thumbs up!! : ) Indiana USA.
need one. NOW!
Can I use the DFAM to sequence other gear? Like a Strega?
Like it !! so crazy
Is it just me or did those mother 32's around 2:10 have the patch bay on the opposite side?
They are being shot from a mirror here.
I have a question about Moogfest s workshop what u guys build in the moogfest VIP?
Good on this all around. I was hoping for a wide release of this, and it was an excellent idea to have some talented female musicians demonstrate its capabilities.
I agree. Respect to moog for for choosing to reflect the fact that women have been making amazing music with their products for a long time now. Love the product. Love the video. I'm going to purchase for sure.
Lets get it!
Neat!
This is going to be great 👍
Enfin :))) ouuuaiiiii !!!!
So dig! 👍
I thought Christmas was over :D
Very cool. I have used the op-1 for small performances. But drums and the unit itself sounds...THIN..maybe? Does the dfam sound like real drums? Can I sync it to my op-1 somehow? Thanks.
The DFAM can be used to craft more traditional drum sounds, but because it is a Semi Modular Percussion Synth, its strengths lie in its ability to create new and unique percussive sounds and rhythms.
Regarding sync to your OP-1; PO sync mode can be used to send sync directly from your OP-1 to the DFAM. In this mode the OP-1 output signal is split into dual mono (L being the click track used for synchronization and R being a mix of the stereo audio signals). You will want to use 1/16 sync, which sends a double tempo click track that can be sent to the DFAM. Check the link below for more info on how to do this with your OP-1.

splendid
killer demo
I am getting more and more familiar with my DFAM
Damn good demos. Put out an EP.
FINALLY!
I love the sound of the DFAM...so gritty and raw...but I hate the sequencer cos at only 8 steps everything sounds so square, repetitive and short to me...like a really annoying alarm clock! Can someone please advise me what I can do to get round this? Maybe buy an SQ1 to drive the DFAM? Or can I use my Mother 32's sequencer to drive it? Or can I use the patchbay to create more interesting time signatures that I can actually control (Ie not random or pitch-to-note-length)? many thanks for your help!
You can always use an sq-1 or bsp to give more variations. You could also get a eurorack sequencer like the Rene to get more steps out of it.
Omg!!!
blippity-bloop yess!!!
Play this through the Thermal audio unit by Output and be amazed!
Love Stud1nt's perspective on life, and I''m a big fan of Umfang. Great video! Will likely never be able to afford a DFAM tho :(
I always said I would insta-buy this, but it took me 7 minutes. Sorry about that.
🖤
One question : when i'll have it at home ?
my buddy Gabe works @ Moog. He takes a lot of pride in making these.
and as an Asheville area native/musician, Moog is something to be very proud of.
❤
whenever i caught a glimpse of this i would think it was a prototype of the mother with a rotary style 16 step sequencer.
Hey its a modular Korg ER1 :)
lol i still use an er-1
Me too I have 2 of them I use with my analog 4. :)
YES YES YES
Well I know what I’m getting myself for my birthday.
Is there going to be a Father in the Moog line at some point?
There already is one. His name is Bob.
So this is a 3-part drum machine? 2 Oscillators, and a noise generator. Very strange design. Doesn't seem like it would do very much, though it looks like a very nice companion to the Mother-32 (and it sounds great).
Ronnie Perez it’s semi-modular. Very few people would be using this all by itself. It isn’t designed for that.
That fucking Heavy Weather at 3:21
My mooooneyyyyy!!!
i got an orgone accumulator,
and it makes me feel much greater ...
Can someone confirm that the sounds in this video are all from DFAM?
I love You!
sick
@1:34 I'm SOLD!
FM Einhorn :) great patch name
LOVE the cat in the video, pro quality content, inspiring
stunning sounding drum synth , the sonic quality seems way way higher than most new analogue gear to my ears
Love that it was a female cast.
