Nice new patch. I feel the DFAM really shines in these “industrial” loops. I too like to always modulate VCA Cv on the DFAM with … something. I feel this patch point should only be left empty if one deliberately aims for a very mechanical, repetitive sound. In all other cases, sending a slow modulation of any sort into that input will make the rhythm pattern evolve gradually, following the music in a much more organic way. For instance, one thing I like to do is to patch VCA Cv IN on the DFAM with the output voltage of a sequencer that plays the bass line. In that configuration, the rhythm pattern evolves in intensity with the notes played by the bass, making the whole rhythm section feel more “human”.
Can you name some songs from NIN that sound like this? Seen them referenced in several DFAM videos but never heard something similar in a track. Thanks.
@@pablo-939 Sure! I would say much of the 2007 album Year Zero - Hyperpower, The Beginning of the End, Capital G, The Great Destroyer. Fast forward to 2018 and while not exactly the same, it would fit well into the Bad Witch soundscape. Also the Watchmen soundtrack comes to mind.
I love to use DFAM for these fat industrial rhythms. This one is awesome. I will try it tomorrow. Thanks for your tutorials. Nice work very useful for beginners like me.
Totally forgot about this patch and just rediscovered it. It's great! Trying to fit this in with an ambient and/or droning patch with the Mother-32 and Subharmonicon. It's almost like mixing old NIN with newer NIN (or even Reznor & Atticus Ross film score style).
Good question. My understanding is that the VCA output when not patched is determined by the Velocity + VCA Envelope. So by patching the velocity into the VCA CV, when the steps go down to 0 it will essentially cut off the tail of the envelope.
@@braintree56 well, i tried it and while indeed velocity to VCA boosts the signal i think it's because the voltage of the velocity pots outputting (don't know the value, i think it's 10v) but at the same time they do not bypass the ENV which is cool. Now there is a downside here because the velocity signal si On/OFF (basically gate/trigger) and applied to VCA (volume) it creates clicks, which is expected. So to sum-up, yeah. velocity to VCA is legit.

Never heard a DFAM sounding so Ministry. Awesome thanks.
It always sounds like that man!
Love this patch! I love using my dfam for this type of thing, it really shines in this kind of setting!
Trent and Atticus would definitely approve of this patch.
🙏
Great patch. I just got a DFAM and will definitely play with this. Thanks for sharing.
Really Really hard and destructive‼️🤘
You amazingly reproduced lovely 90's NINish industrial sounds👍
Thanks!
Man your videos are so great. I love NIN and the DFAM has always seemed like NIN in a box.
Thanks. Yeah the DFAM definitely does that sound really well!

@@michaelkonomos Much appreciated, that clears it up!
Nice patch Bt56
Thanks for sharing ;)
Good stuff. DFAM is probably the best drum synth ever made.
It's pretty awesome!

Thanks! I love making these patches. So many fun things to explore and I love that people are trying them out! Hope you like it.
Thanks for this great patch! It sounds amazing and is so tweakable! 🤩
Yeah, this one is one of my favorites.
Sub'd soon as I heard the sound! Awesome work man
Thanks so much!!!
ugh that 3:17 mark is so good, well done on this patch sounds so great!
Thanks man!
Amazeballs. Fantastic Patch. Dfam is harsh industrial in a box. I have two. ✌️
Thanks!
This is great, at first I thought there were vocals somewhere in the mix that were being extremely distorted.
Thanks!
Omg!Omg….!!!Reznor is gonna cop your samples if you don’t take this down. Sooo NIN😈 this just flat out slaps😍
Thanks!
Love it, thank you!

Definitely! Love this sound.
Great Patch!
Glad you like it!
3:27-3:29 nice tom tom kick pattern. very metal. could sample and loop just that part and build out a whole track.
Totally. I love this patch.
@@braintree56 Is it just the raw signal output of DFAM? Or?
@@dpalaoro Yep. No effects on this.
@@braintree56 damn that's dope. 👍 thanks for responding. peace
Awesome stuff
Thanks!
Killer!
Thanks!
Banging
Isn't the velocity row already pre-wired to the VCA as it has the same behaviour when not patched?
Good question. My understanding is that the VCA output when not patched is determined by the Velocity + VCA Envelope. So by patching the velocity into the VCA CV, when the steps go down to 0 it will essentially cut off the tail of the envelope.
@@braintree56 you might be probably right, and it does make sense. i will investigate once i get in the studio, Great patch by the way, gnarly!
@@danielsolomon63 Thanks. I'd be interested to hear what your conclusion is. (Especially if I'm wrong! :) ) Let me know!

Heavy stuff. Can you create some mid tempo patches as well? 🙂
Mid-tempo?! Blasphemy! 🤣 I've actually got some lighter and slower ones in my patchbook on Patreon.
@@braintree56 Blasphemy LOL 😂 I am more into Synthpop. 😁
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

the thunbnail seems to not match the machine in the video.
Hmmm I know I make adjustments here and there, but it should be a fairly similar starting point.
@@braintree56 thanks alot for the vids.
hey there, can u give me a link to the patreon page? thanks
Thanks for your interest!! :) patreon.com/braintree56
It reminds me the healing effect in Half Life!
Ha, the second I read this, I heard that sound in my head!
Thanks for the inspiration! I copied your patch and had fun with it on my Edge!
