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.
just want to say THANK YOU to Moog for featuring women to demo their products. can't tell you how important it is for me to see other women using mod synths + other gear. if one more guy with some fancy accent tries to show me how to turn a knob i'm gonna fuckin lose it. :)
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 :-)
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.
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 '-)
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.
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!
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. www.teenageengineering.com/guides/op-1/tempo
Awesome to see so much positivity in the comments because of the female producers! High fives everyone! Good move, Moog. Now listening to Umfang album and diggin it.
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).
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.
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.
Right? Here it is on SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/moogmusicinc/dynamisticism-2x-dfam-1x?in=moogmusicinc/sets/dfam-semi-modular-analog-percussion-synthesizer
R3DICE right especially on something marked as a drum machine. Good thing it has patchbay for external sequences but almost makes its own pointless. Don't get me wrong Iv made plenty beats with my 8 step but that was before u got my 2 16 step sequencers.

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

Glad Moog has decided to actually get this thing into our craving hands! Congratulations.
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
I hope there are awards for product demos. This is beautiful.
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....
Way too cool. I'll be adding this to my Moog collection!

This sounds awesome! Moog managed to create something unique here, and not just another drum machine. @5:38 and @7:33 sounds amazing!
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 :-)
Can’t wait to have a family reunion at my place. Bring on the other drummers, brothers and sisters FAM!!
Thank you for the music and the inspiration.
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.
It's nice to see young people exploring, creating, expressing themselves through the medium of electronic music. And Moog stuff rules!
This looks so much more appealing than the mother 32. Thanks Moog for bringing this out!
The single greatest disclaimer I've ever seen before anything-- "This video contains complex harmonic content." Awesome.
Bet that cat at 1:34 was on some catnip thinkin yeah this beat is dope meow
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 '-)
and you know if the cat is starring, its gotta be special!
These patches are absolutely nuts.
Are they using any external sequencers, and how many Dfams are being used at once in each demonstration?
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?
Good and rich, nice sounds ! So cute, every girl and cat !
Excellent video and very cool new drum synth. Tempted by this more than I was the Mother. Good work, Moog!
5:37 that whole sequence sounded dope af
not sure if they used an external sequencer :/
ACE
sup mylar
send this guy one of those things to demo and don't worry about the rest. :)
Get one, mylar!
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...
the stuff they're coming up is SICK.
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.
Awesome instrument, and love the all non-dude artist demo lineup!!
Can't wait for some angry guy to come in yelling about how it's so unfair to only have male artists feature in 99% of this type of video.
Virtue signal harder...
Yeah , MeToo
Yeah, Me too! I'm a Non-Dude and I love the feminine energy of a product called "Mother". (Roland's Gaia is cool too.)
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.
How do you sequence it?
Industrial magic Trent approves
I'm digging this. Can't wait until Anaheim!
Can I use the DFAM to sequence other gear? Like a Strega?
Glad to see more than 1 dfam in action
Pretty badass, I would love to add that gem it to my setup!
Is all the audio in this clipfrom the drum machine?
Thanks for a video, great sound
can we have the patch for the sounds at 5:15?
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.
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 can't wait to do a Versus between this and my Vermona DRM1 Wooh Whooth!
YES!! I was hoping moog would officially release this.
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.

I have a question about Moogfest s workshop what u guys build in the moogfest VIP?
Awesome to see so much positivity in the comments because of the female producers! High fives everyone! Good move, Moog. Now listening to Umfang album and diggin it.
What's the track @1:42 ? So sick
So does this have midi in for sync or do you have to trig steps with a CV pulse?
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.
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
You have no idea how great it felt to actually watch women musicians playing with this amazing new product !
Well, give us some idea.
No they knew you'd like it. It's called pandering you dumb girl and you fell for it. Now give them your money like a good little robot.
Will this be available in classic MOOG format (1/4 inch) or is it only available in mini-jack euro-rack format?
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.
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.
I used to OBSESSSSSSSS over this video. Then I bought one 🕶. Once you're a part of the DFAM family you just know.
Excellent upload, thanks for sharing (Y)
Like it !! so crazy
Is there going to be a Father in the Moog line at some point?
There already is one. His name is Bob.
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. :)
Play this through the Thermal audio unit by Output and be amazed!
Well I know what I’m getting myself for my birthday.
Please release a bass synth in the Mother format and call it Mother of All Bass.
MOAB yes!
It’s the next logic step isn’t it?
You've got a new fan!
This is amazing!
I thought Christmas was over :D
Can someone confirm that the sounds in this video are all from DFAM?
I am getting two of these! Love it! Peace Christo 👍🏻🎶👽
Thumbs up!! : ) Indiana USA.
Cool stuff!
I love that you featured women in this ❤️💪🏾 thank you.
Love it!!
need one. NOW!
Lets get it!
I am getting more and more familiar with my DFAM
Enfin :))) ouuuaiiiii !!!!
That fucking Heavy Weather at 3:21
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 :(
So dig! 👍
This is going to be great 👍
blippity-bloop yess!!!
oh 😍can't wait to a plugin version
Damn. Insta buy. I so much hate/love you Moog!
neuzd besides the price point, why the hate?
Because I sold them my soul and I am cursed, slave to the moog
Love it.
YES YES YES
Still thinking of an excuse to get one…
@1:34 I'm SOLD!
track at 2:00? Beautiful stuff~
Right? Here it is on SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/moogmusicinc/dynamisticism-2x-dfam-1x?in=moogmusicinc/sets/dfam-semi-modular-analog-percussion-synthesizer
Only 8 Steps ? Or do I miss something ?
R3DICE right especially on something marked as a drum machine. Good thing it has patchbay for external sequences but almost makes its own pointless. Don't get me wrong Iv made plenty beats with my 8 step but that was before u got my 2 16 step sequencers.
My mooooneyyyyy!!!
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.
I always said I would insta-buy this, but it took me 7 minutes. Sorry about that.
LOVE the cat in the video, pro quality content, inspiring
splendid
Hey you guys at Moog you just keep doing what you are doing ok - great form factor
i got an orgone accumulator,
and it makes me feel much greater ...
