Delivered at Synthfest 2018, we explored techniques for live jamming on the Moog Mother and DFAM, for improvisational music creation that embraces the unique interface of the machine. We explore how to get started with the Mother-32 sequencer, how to link the machines, and how they could fit into your own music setup.

I can never make it through any of these videos the first time cause I always end up inspired and wander off to my rack.

Outstanding!!! I've got it all, an incredibly unique set of instruments that ask us to twiddle the knobs, patch cables in and out, and take a journey beyond expectation or exaltation!! Great!! This particular video, superior take on the subject. Q="Where's the one?" A="You're soaking in it"

Man that was a great demonstration. I love synths, the best fun I have is with is jamming on a 106 with the pc off. I just record my jams on a sound recorder for later development. Jamming is when the magic happens and can be lost quite easily and hard to replicate. I've recently had fun with sequencing on an AVP drum machine. And now seeing these Moog sequencing analogues has really opened my mind to saving for them...U can create a song in a spontaneous jam yet sitting down at a pc to structure a piece can take a very long time...I guess there are different ways of working but humans should trust themselves more with there abilities to create music without actually thinking to much about what they are doing..Thanks pal.

@randommuiscchannel1049 5 жыл бұрын

Great stuff here... the DFAM is just awesome. I have 2 DFAMs and they are the basis of every tune... just fun to use especially for complex syncopation... I then drop in the Roland DR880 for traditional drum samples..the Squarp Pyramid keeps it all synced ( sub 37 and o coast, Minitaur as well)....record directly into a dp-32

Great video and amazing jam! I love the sound these machines produce, especially the DFAM. Is the DFAM's sequencer similar to the Korg SQ-1? Would it be possible to get similar results with a Korg SQ-1 and a Basimilus Iteratis Alter for voicing?

@Dogboy73 4 жыл бұрын

I've been trying to control the DFAM's 'advance/clock' input from Reason using a gate signal from a sequencer (out via ES-3). Signal is coming out okay & works connected to 'run/stop' input but doesn't work on 'advance/clock'. I'm probably missing something fundamentally straightforward here! But I'm not sure currently why this doesn't work :-/ EDIT: Tried sending MIDI clock from Reason to Phenol, which has built in MIDI > CV converter with a clock output. Can see Phenol is getting the clock (indicated by an flashing LED). But this doesn't seem to work on the DFAM's 'advance/clock' input either. Mmmm! :-/ EDIT 2: Figured it out - manual stated DFAM had to have 'run/stop' enabled (using button) so that it was ready to receive clock. Ah ha! Now I can clock from any gate signal from Reason. This is going to be interesting ;-)

@barnabycross 5 жыл бұрын

the DFAM can do sooo much more than dance music...try to veer off that metronomic, techno beat...and discover some truly other worlds!

@SootySweep22 5 жыл бұрын

I have both of these and love playing them. My only issue with the mother 32 is the way ratcheting ruins the clock pulses. I guess that’s just the analog way. Love it or leave it.

BTW: assign output seems not to work properly (on mine) when you ratchet to x4 - hence DFAM stepping irregularly in this video when ratchet was used.

@kturn5953 Жыл бұрын

@@rosss9999 Because they already did in the past. Bob Moog even lost the rights to his own name for some years. The factory is small in Asheville, and everything is actually built by hand! Therefore, boutique products like this sometimes don’t sell enough products to support production. They are making great products and innovating though, so if they stay on this track they should do well! Love Moog!

@Braunld 5 жыл бұрын

It's a pretty well-balanced explanation / exposition. He explains each _step_ of the process (as it develops), and the looping music / sounds aren't terribly complex.. I think you can listen to both (?), and get the 'whole' picture.
