Moog Music has introduced DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother), its the first addition to the Mother ecosystem.

DFAM is a highly-interactive, semi-modular analog percussion synthesizer that brings a vibrant deviation from the traditional drum machine, presenting an expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation.

Moog DFAM

Activated by an easy-to-use analog sequencer, DFAM’s emotive sound begins with a white noise generator and two wide-range analog oscillators – effortlessly transitioning between rhythmic pulsations, resounding bass and resonant bells in an instant. DFAM’s distinctive voice is then shaped by a classic Moog Ladder filter with two selectable modes: Low Pass mode imparts impact and dimension to each sound it touches, while High Pass mode opens the door to naturally expressive strikes, spikes and clangorous accentuations.

DFAM behaves much like a living organism, reacting in different ways to different individuals. 3 dedicated analog envelopes work dynamically with the sequencer to ensure that tribal toms breathe, industrial impacts evolve, and sonic chaos can be created or subdued at the turn of a knob.

Each DFAM ships with a package of Moog patch cables that unlock access to the 24-point modular patchbay. Use it to create new sounds or bizarre behaviors, synchronize an unlimited number of DFAM and Mother-32 units together, or fully integrate your analog instrument into a modular Eurorack production environment.

DFAM is shipping from the Moog Factory and is available now at Authorized Moog Music Dealers worldwide, priced at $679 USD.
