Moog Music DFAM

Moog DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother)

DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother) is a semi-modular analog percussion synthesizer for hands-on rhythmic pattern creation: it needs no patching and no prior experience to start. The sound, driven by an analog sequencer, starts from a white noise generator and two wide-range analog oscillators, moving from rhythmic pulses to deep bass and resonant bells.

A classic Moog Ladder filter shapes the voice in low-pass mode, for impact and body, or high-pass mode, for sharp and clangorous strikes, while three dedicated analog envelopes work with the sequencer. The included patch cables give access to the 24-point modular patchbay, to create new sounds, synchronise DFAM with Mother-32 units or integrate it into a Eurorack system.
