Moog DFAM Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer

The Moog DFAM Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer is a powerhouse of sound design capabilities, delivering 100 percent analog sound. This versatile, interactive analog percussion machine produces dance-floor shaking bass and thick, punchy drum sounds, making it a must-have for any serious musician.

Versatile Sound Shaping

Equipped with two oscillators and selectable analog filters, the DFAM allows you to dynamically shape your sounds without needing any prior experience or patching. The built-in patchbay provides endless opportunities for experimentation, enabling both beginners and advanced synthesists to unlock new sonic possibilities.

Immediate Rhythm Creation

The DFAM is designed for quick and easy synthesis of unique rhythmic compositions. Its range of hands-on controls makes it perfect for live performances. The fully analog machine delivers rich, full-bodied vintage sounds, with two wide-range oscillators capable of producing everything from deep pulsing basses to raw FM percussion. This hands-on approach to percussive sequence creation encourages you to explore and experiment with your sound.

Human Touch Sequencing

The DFAM features an 8-step analog sequencer with velocity control, allowing for more human-like sequences rather than robotic patterns. You can set the pitch for each step and adjust velocity on-the-fly, adding movement and variation to your sequences. Three dedicated analog envelopes work dynamically with the sequencer, ensuring your toms breathe, impacts evolve, and movement is created with a simple turn of the knob.

Semi-Modular Flexibility

The DFAM’s semi-modular design includes a 24-point patchbay, requiring no patching to create rhythmic compositions. This makes it ideal for beginners while offering advanced users a way to unlock new sounds and behaviors. The patchbay is also an excellent introduction to modular patching for those new to the concept. Additionally, the DFAM can be easily integrated into a Eurorack system, offering even more flexibility.

Comprehensive Sound Control

With a wide range of controls, the DFAM allows you to create and tweak sounds effortlessly. The two oscillators offer hard sync and FM cross-modulation, enabling you to shape rhythmic pulsations, resounding bass, and resonant bells instantly. The integrated Moog Ladder filter, featuring both high and low-pass options, lets you dynamically sculpt your sound. A white noise generator adds air and high-frequency content, making the DFAM capable of producing everything from huge bass tones to raw FM percussion.

Experience the power and versatility of the Moog DFAM Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer and elevate your sound design to new heights.
