Moog DFAM only - ambient demo ā No talking, just bleeps;
i have the dfam since August of this year, i finally had the time to record something, i really had fun discovering and experimenting, it never sounds the same! For the moment Iām not using it for producing tracks, still need to explore more first.
I also notice that the audio out has a much lower signal compared to my other gear, Iām using the required cable (unbalanced TS type) as described in the manual. I use the Analog heat tru send/return of my mixer to boost the sound, 
also using a looper pedal & effects

In this 2x DFAM jam I use claves and Quadrantid Swarm for melody. Kick is (of course) played by DFAM

Unfortunately Iām thinking of selling mine. It really is a beautiful piece of gear, but I just canāt seem to go anywhere non-techno with it. I donāt ever really make straight ahead techno these days, Iām more into minimal/deep house. Some minimal house producers like Mihai Pol or East End Dubs have small modular rigs for making strange percussion sequences or background textures. I was hoping the DFAM could transition to that role for me but Iām struggling.
Does anyone have an non-techno examples of the DFAM that they like? Preferably something house-y? Iām looking for the some inspirationā¦ otherwise itās going on the chopping block!
This is a set I did a while back.

Defintily not techno, much more downtempo, chill sort of thing. I used DFAM for bass lines. Just bubbling away, way down low. Youāll need proper speakers or decent headphones. I really enjoyed using it like that.
(Did end up selling it in the end though.)

Interesting stuff, man, thanks for sharing.
I feel like the Lyra and DFAM are philosophical companions.
Dirty DFAM jam today. Manky times. Fitting for this holiday season.
DFAM, SubH and an A4.

Can someone assist me with linking up AR mk2 with a DFAM? I want to use the elektron sequencer to sequence DFAM and I already have cv.ocd. What is the patching that is needed to do this?
Edit: including start/stop.
You can make really cool housy claps with the DFAM:
Also, triangle wave + negative VCO EG Amount is good for melodies. DFAM bass is good for housy basslines.

this is an ace of a clap! Never tried befor. Just already know that the noise and the hipass filter with some resonance can make some nice hihat shizzle.
Damn dude, that track really melted my mind. Love it.

For house/minimal I think the DFAM is great if you sequence it with something else. For minimal sounds I feel like it would be amazing. I like to make really tight decayed sounds and then sample 4 bars of that into my OT and resequence in there.
I would suggest sampling the DFAM and chopping it up to get a house vibe.
What would you suggest sequencing it with?
MPC with a MIDI to 1/8 cable (new MPC Ones just send the gate out and have CV jacks). Or Octatrackā¦really anything.
Tune created with the patch āTalking Drumā from the Users Manual and a triangle wave for the kick. Itās less aggressive and more suitable for minimal, deep tech stuff.

I bought a subharmonicon and a dfam. I am a little shocked of what I can get out of it. Is it true it only contains bird-chilp-sounds and noise?
But seriously: where to start?
Got an offer for a second hand DFAM with the Knob upgrade for 460 euros, does seem like a fair deal? I think Iāve seen some floating around for 400?
