Many thanks sir !

Definitly, it is a very fun thing to play with.

Thanks a lot ! We mostly had a lot if fun with it and I gave us some good ideas I guess ;-)

Thank you for the kind words ;-)

Many thanks !

It is indeed a very interresting machine, even for non percussive purposes. Thanks for kind word !

Don Dayglow it’s an amazing synth! In fact, I bought one after making those 10 patches ;).

Hahahah I hope that's a good thing then. Make some great music and videos with it ;-)

Wired Brain Its for sure a good thing!

Many thanks !

in the mail. pretty stoked to sync to its mother.

Keeping the dream alive!

Thanks Hector. There is no processing exept a limiter to boost the signal for the video but most of the time there is no gain reduction at all.

Thanks Jose ! It is a fine machine on is own but it does lack a slow modulation source and also keep in mind there is no midi so you need a midi to Cv converter to sync in to your DAW or midi based synth / drum machine.

Yes indeed ! Lot's of fun to be had with those two.

@@WiredBrain Been a good boy and saved some and started tinkering to get a MatrixBrute, Nord A1 or DFAM. All different animals I know I know...

Hey Greim ! It is an oscilloscope, very old one that a friend gave me, you should be able to find some ebay

It is a simple (old) analog oscilloscope.

Classic "On The Run" style sequences always win ;-)

@@WiredBrain yes number 8 do you have the patch info possibly

@@richiesantana7628 Two vcos slightly detuned mixed together with a bit of white noise, find the melody you like on the sequencer and tweak the filter and it's envelope depth until you stop having fun ;-)

None, this yellow cable is the audio out, it is multed to go to the Oscilloscope.

What oscilloscope are you using? It look to be a Tektronix ...

Thanks ! Yes all the sounds in this video are from the DFAM alone.

Yes and you can accept clock too.

You just need to plug it into an amplifier or and audio interface to be able to hear it (I don't remember if the audio out is headphone compatible tho, you might find this in the manual).

a lot of these videos usually have the gear plugged into an FX unit. Delay and Reverb go along way towards smoothing out the sound of a synth. It took me a while to get that I was missing that from my rig. If you're going strait into a DAW, no worries you can just use plugins; but, if you're planning on performing live then it would be helpful to get an FX pedal/unit. Really, reverb and delay are more than icing on the cake. They're both pretty essential. Even something cheap would go a long ways towards making a beautiful sound.

@@davearnold4426 True ! Any reverb or echo you might add will make things more "you" or more alive. Tho the DFAM might be one of the few synthesizer I like the raw sound with no FX added, mostly due to it's percussive nature.

@@WiredBrain Yeah, the DFAM is definitely an interesting sounding instrument and you wouldn't necessarily want to drown it in too much reverb or delay; but, having a touch of reverb can help any synth sit in a more natural space that is more pleasing to the ear. I'd also say that the DFAM is not a beginners Synth. I had the DFAM about 2 years ago and returned it because I was not able to understand how each knob contributed to its sound. Now, after working with analog synths for the last 2 years, I feel I'm ready to try the DFAM again and am looking to get my hands on one again.

Don't buy one of these if you're new to synthesizers. It's a real faff to sync up to a laptop and it's not a proper drum machine. It's great (I have one) but as a beginner I'd get a more traditional drum machine or sampler. To make a track using one of these you really need to sample a range of sounds from it (kick, bass, percs, synths and other sounds) then layer them up in a DAW or sampler anyway.

Hey there, it's mostly a thing of modulating the filter with one of the VCO and sequencing the Noise Level with one row of the sequencer. I think this very simple sequencers are great in their limitations and there's lot to do with those when clocking them externaly with less steady signals ;-)

@@WiredBrain I should have been more clear, its the knobs. I like the sequencer, hell of a lot better than the Mother 32. I wish the knobs were bigger.

Of course not, you can even find a link to the was files in the description ;-)

I'll ask my partner and let you know ;-)

Thanks :)

I'm the partner and I'm absolutely ok ;). You can find the DL link of the .wav in the description. Have fun!

@@WiredBrain thank you!

Unfortunatly we didn't noted anything as this video was made out of improvised patches. Sorry ...

OK, no problem. Thanks the same.

There is an input in the patchbay called "Advance" that move the sequencer forward when it receive a trigger so you can sync it that way, you can also clock external devices with cv in using the "trigger" output of the DFAM.

Hey there. No we did not made any patch sheets, we did not owned the unit when we shooted the video so we did it quick and did not thought about taking notes. I suggest that you try replicating those patches from what you see, you will probably end up with something different but you might find even better sounds in the process ;-)

That was a help

You can't. You can try to take pictures and or notes about the front panel but there is no save / recall function.

It is an old Hameg analog oscilloscope ;-) Glad you like the video !

Sure, the download link is in the description since someone else asked already, here you go : drive.google.com/file/d/1IEqn64d7UKNbGgNfRxn85aM16oQejZCr/view

Thank you very much!

It is an old Hameg HM-203, I got it from a school who was about to throw it away.

@@WiredBrain haha stupid people ! Very stylish

Hahahah you are all forgiven ;-)

It would be surprising as the DFAM was not out yet at that time.

freetimeprojex Yes there is, by patching Pitch to Tempo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNePhZCg0NqUoGQ.html

sequence it externally
