- 3 fun patching ideas for using Maths with your DFAM!
Dynamic Hi-Hats
Patching a Self-Oscillating Maths into External Audio
Duck the Bass!
Make Noise Maths is a quintessential eurorack module many consider to be one of the best. It certainly has a great reputation! But it can be very intimidating for beginners. It has an unconventional layout and cryptic labeling. It's not always clear what it's doing or how to use it.
The Moog DFAM (Drummer From another Mother) was the first addition to the Mother-32 family of synthesizers and presents an expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation. The DFAM features an All Analog sound system, an Analog Sequencer with 8 steps, 3 sound sources (including noise), and a robust filter. Use the patchbay to integrate with other Eurorack modules.

Man, I'm so grateful for all your videos. They've helped me understand modular synthesis in ways I never thought possible. I wish you were my neighbor so you could teach me synth to synth. Thanks again!
Ha! I'll get we would have some fun together if we were neighbors! :) Glad you like it.
Just moved my DFAM into my new rack, and somehow this video revealed itself tonight. Looking forward to more than self-patching the DFAM, and you've given me a great place to start! Thank you.
Awesome! Glad you found it! :)
I've recently fallen into the rabbit hole of synths and eurorack. I enjoy my way down, but now I'm mostly tumbling and spinning. With your video's I'll soon be gliding in control like a flying squirrel 😅
Good pace and depth, exactly what I need as a beginner. Simple and clear explanations, visual representation of what's going on, logical and progressing structure of use cases and examples. Excellent work, thank you!!!
Awesome! So glad you're getting something out of them!
Powerful combo. The DFAM and 0-CTRL is another good one
The O-Ctrl looks pretty awesome... Might have to add it to the list of stuff I want... (Unfortunately that list is getting pretty long.)
Yes, 0-CTRL + DFAM is amazing!
Hey thanks so much for these videos! Great great stuff!
Glad you like them!
I missed this the first time around.... but, Maths was one of the first modules I bought! So I'm with ya! Thanks again for these great videos...
My pleasure! Maths is such a fun module.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Thank you. I wondered if you thought of demonstrating genres which were less techno-y? That's a default I normally fall into when playing the dfam too. Love the channel.
How about ambient drones! ruclips.net/video/8v54ax4dEGA/видео.html
@@braintree56 nice riposte 🫡. And repost 🙂. Thank you.
Awesome video, thanks. So simple but very inspiring.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Thanks for the video!
Highly recommend a pitch quantizer for the dfam. With such a module you can make some awesome melodic stuff with the dfam. It makes almost a new instrument out of the dfam
Yeah, I've gotten that recommendation before and still have to give it a go! I've heard great things.
Lovely work on this B56 !
Thanks, man!
This is brilliant man, I’m buzzing with ideas after watching! Particularly like the first one with the ‘hi-hats’, although it makes me wish DFAM had a noise output so it can be filtered to remove some of the lower frequencies but I guess one could feed an external noise source in and chuck it through a HP filter. I really shouldn’t have watched this while working coz I’m seriously distracted now ;) Excellent stuff man, cheers!
Ha! Thanks. There's just so many things you can do with that little module.
Haha same here watching this at work and all I can think of now is going home and try me some sweet DFAM hi-hats
Man you are doing some of my favorite modular work these days. Really impressed, and I don’t even do modular (yet)
Wow! That's quite a compliment. Thanks! Might be time to jump in! :)
@@braintree56 yeah man, it's just that lots of people bleep and bloop around (nothing wrong with that), but you have this intentionality to your approach and you seem to be actually trying to create music. Music that has some heart to it. I connect with that a lot. It's harder to do, but so great when it works out. As for me and modular... I WANT to. Feel like its inevitable. Just learning a lot more first. And kind of want the DFAM next...
@@michaelkonomos That comment made my day! Thanks... I do a fair amount of bleeping and blooping around too! Ha! The DFAM is great. What's so awesome (and difficult) about modular is it's all about how the modules work together. The DFAM is just like that as well. You'll likely want to start adding modulation and other stuff to it. Have you used VCVrack? I used that a ton before I started spending money on gear. I highly recommend it. And the only different between the free version and the paid version is that you can't use the free version in a DAW - but you can still hook it up to a sequencer and get access to the library of modules and everything.
@@braintree56 I have used it some but should probably do a little more. Thanks!
Another fantastic video...thanks again
Thanks, man! Appreciate it!
@@braintree56 Wish you would do a series on the SUBH/DFAM paired with the Matriarch....I've made some crazy good patches late at night with the trio, but can never remember them
@@bluesguy1977 I would like to tackle a video series on the Matriarch at some point! That might be a good place to start
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Funny...I have my M32 in my eurorack case but my DFAM sits in a corner...unused. Just couldn't bend it to my will so I kinda gave up on it. This really inspires me to try it again!
Fantastic! I've been taking mine in and out of my case. I think I just need to get a bigger case - one that will fit all of the sound studio...
I found new inspiration on my DFAM when I was able to pair it with a drum machine, either by hardware(TR-8S for example) or software (Maschine by Native Instruments).
Another awesome video? Just working through your DFAM course and the go onto Subharmonicon one next, getting M32 this week so that will be the three lol
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying them!
@@braintree56 really helping dude, thanks
Are you aware there is a town called Braintree in Massachusetts?
I am. I used to live in the Boston area - Brighton/Allston/Somerville! Apparently it's named after a neighborhood in England... (Tons have people have asked if I'm from there!)
@@braintree56 so where does the name come from?
Hi from Medford :)
@@GeorgeLocke Nice - there's really no significance to the name. I live in a neighborhood in Maine where all the streets are named after towns from the Boston area - Saugus, Lynn, Newton, Lexington, Brighton, Braintree, (I think there's even a Medford!) more... So I see it a lot and liked it... :)
🙏❤️
Thank you!
Behringer combo $300 vs. Moog and make noise combo $900.
Yep. The second hand market for the DFAM is also a great way to save money.
