Love this thing! Use it all the time.
Need, need, need this. Is the 2HP Eurorack module basically the same thing? To be honest these features should have been in the original device. A real shame Moog didn't put these in! Oh well, Good job we have some creative people filling in the gaps for us ;-)
Yes, the 2hp one has the same functionality. Just a different form factor.
@@SonoclastSweet. Might have to grab one from Reverb ;-)
holy black friday you're a saint, I just saw the new version, based/
you just made me buy a DFAM - and a MAFD - incoming $$$
*Just got it - took 2 seconds and I'm in business!! Does this do similar functions with Mother32 or Subharmonicon? just curious...
Hi Hal, not that I'm aware of, but I haven't really played with either.
Thanks Kevin.I got one Your gear is great . I love it ! from tokyo
Yes!
It blows my mind that this is even possible.
Just purchased and was using Moog's 3.5mm to Midi... which didn't work... assuming it wasnt TRS... used provided cord and works great... Very cool addition to the DFAM... I love the DFAM but was starting to feel a bit limited previous to buying the MAFD...
Yes, the MAFD 2hp works with a Type B TRS adapter, and Moog seems to use Type A ones. Label them with a sharpie to keep them straight! :-) There is more info about the different kinds of MIDI TRS here: minimidi.world
Great product , well done :-)
😮😮😮😮
An essential upgrade for the Ford Pinto of drum machines
how does this work? is it just advancing the clock until it reaches the desired step at such a high rate that we don't notice?
i’m very curious to know how it works as well. i feel like your explanation is likely the correct one
That’s the only explanation that makes any sense to me. AFAIK The adv clock input just responds to a trigger. But I would love to know the answer
If this had keyboard cv out I'd buy it right now
Hi, 1 V/oct CV is not the main point of the MAFD. After all, there are many MIDI to CV converters that already do that. But there is also a version of MAFD that does have 1 V/oct CV. sonoclast.com/products/mafd-luxe-midi-to-cv-eurorack-module/
I guess this works by quickly sending additional adv clock trigs to play each step? If you want to play step 8 it have to count 8 times. How is the latency involved in this? Thanks
Hi Christian, no significant latency.
Awesome, sounds good to me.
@@brvnoo Explained by the first question.
@sonoclast does it work with other cv gear, and you said something about a link
Yes, there is a newer version with more features here: sonoclast.com/products/drumming_friend_forever_mafd/ And a newer version in a eurorack form factor here: sonoclast.com/products/mafd_2hp/
Hey there I have a question -- I have the OG version and am wondering what power supply does it take?
Hi Emma, it takes a regular USB power supply. 5V @ >=500mA should work. --Kevin
Neat device! any chance you could tell where are those red replacement knobs for DfAM are coming from? Thanks!
Yes, they are these ones from Thonk. You'll want a thick walled plastic drinking straw to get them to fit snugly. www.thonk.co.uk/shop/1900h-round/
So essentially this let's you trigger any step of the dfam independently of the device itself from an external midi device?
Yes, exactly. (Sorry for the delay. Somehow missed being notified.) MIDI can be over the standard DIN plug or as a MIDI USB device.
Cool little unit. Will these be restocked in the near future?
Yes, we expect to have more of the newer version (MAFD 2hp, same functionality, different form factor) in the next couple weeks.
@@Sonoclast great, thanks!
How is no one talking about these knobs? How do I get these knobs?
They are these ones in pink. You'll need to use a cut up drinking straw to shim them to fit snugly. www.thonk.co.uk/shop/1900h-round/
Thank you so much. That sounds a little extra for me to do unfortunately. @@Sonoclast
any chance to get it in germany? i really despise having to deal with german customs..
Sorry, it's only available to buy new from our Reverb shop currently.
@@Sonoclast Bummer, thanks for the reply.
Mother for another drummer lol
Nice! Are you still selling this version 1 box, I'd prefer it to the eurorack version? I'm in the UK, what price? thanks, Simon
Thanks! The 2hp one replaced the one shown in this video with an identical feature set. The 2hp is a eurorack module, but it can also be bought with a case and power supply that mounts neatly to the side of a DFAM. In other words, it can be used without a eurorack case and power supply. More info here: sonoclast.com/products/mafd_2hp/
@@Sonoclast OK cool, thanks! vDo you always have to reset the DFAM sequencer position when you stop the external clock (in my case, a deluge), or is it irrelevant - as in, the note information from your DAW/ external sequencer always triggers the correct sequence position on the DFAM (Hope I explained that well!)?
@@simonmorton3746 No, the manual sync lasts as long as it’s all powered on. Also it defaults to middle C as the first step. So if you turn it on with adv/clock already connected and hit run on the DFAM before sending MIDI notes, then it won’t require the manual sync step.
@@Sonoclast Got, it, cool, thanks!
I like red buttons on your dfam
This looks great, but can't the same things be done with a M32?
Sure, in a general sense, the same things can be done with dozens of different synthesizer models, but only a DFAM is a DFAM.
@@Sonoclast True! The 2HP MAFD does look pretty neat though!
Can you use this to just sync the dfams clock with a master clock without triggering it?
There's a fuller featured version (shown here: th-cam.com/video/9FqKvvXOAzE/w-d-xo.html ) that supports MIDI clock, but this one ignores MIDI clock messages. If you are using a DAW or other MIDI sequencer to generate the master clock, simply looping the eight MIDI notes over and over would make the DFAM "run normally" in time with the master clock.
can you control two DFAMs with the split to adv/clock cable?
Have not tried. It might work. (It depends on a DFAM's Adv/Clock input impedance being high enough that putting two in parallel doesn't overly degrade the input signal.) The two DFAMs' steps would be locked in sync though--you wouldn't get to have two different patterns running.
I only need the midi box not the adapter, do you have it?
What is "the midi box"? The MAFD shown in this video is an older version. The latest version (MAFD 2hp) has all the same functionality in a more common form factor.
Will it work the same way with a Beatstep Pro as it does with the keys on a keyboard?
Yes, it will. (MIDI is MIDI. Does not matter where it comes from.)
@@Sonoclast I currently have a beatstep pro controlling my Vermona drm1 , is there any way I could sync up the drm1 with the dfam by using this ? Thank you
@@teddyjones3652 Hi, yes, a DFAM with a MAFD can be sequenced with MIDI notes from a Beatstep Pro on a single MIDI channel. The Beatstep Pro only has one MIDI output from what I see. Not familiar with the drm1, but if it also needs MIDI from the Beatstep, you would need to use the drm1's MIDI THRU port or a MIDI router/splitter to get another MIDI connection out of your Beatstep.
could i also use it to tempo sync the analog rytm to my dfam?
Yes, it should work with OS v1.50 and above based on the FAQ on Elektron's site. The MAFD allows driving the DFAM sequencer with MIDI notes.
www.elektron.se/support/?connection=analog-rytm-mkii#resources
"FAQ
Can I use the Analog Rytm as a MIDI sequencer?
From OS version 1.50 and above, all sequencer tracks can be set to send sequencer data through the MIDI OUT or USB ports to control external, MIDI equipped, gear. Each track sends note on/off and velocity data over MIDI."
@@Sonoclast thank you so much. Is the non eurorack mafd still available?
@@bjarneandersen7746 You're welcome. The 2hp one replaced the one shown in this video with an identical feature set. The 2hp is a eurorack module, but it can also be bought with a case and power supply that mounts neatly to the side of a DFAM. In other words, it can be used without a eurorack case and power supply.

hm great device but price is a little bit high for me as i`m from europe. payed 450,- for the dfam so more than 1/4 for this device is little bit to much for me. better lower the price and sell much more of this little thing.^^
