Introducing The Moog DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother) Semi-Analog Modular Percussion Synthesizer, Part Of The Mother Eco-System - Order Today!
Today we introduce the DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother), 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 | Drummer From Another Mother
DFAM = Highly-Interactive
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.
Full Analog Circuitry
DFAM’s fully analog circuitry behaves much like a living organism, reacting in different ways to input from different individuals. To demonstrate the sounds of this new synthesizer, Moog enlisted 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.
The Mother Eco-system
DFAM is the first addition to the Mother ecosystem of electronic instruments and each DFAM includes a package of patch cables, inviting interconnectivity via the synthesizer’s 24-point modular patchbay. Create new sounds or bizarre behaviors, synchronize an unlimited number of DFAM and Mother-32 synthesizers together, or fully integrate this analog instrument into a modular Eurorack production environment.
