Two VCOs with selectable triangle and square, VCO2 offers hardsync and a hardwired VCO1-VCO2 FM.If, however, you’re still curious – dive into the details with me! Architecture No firmware update, no USB – no MIDI even this thing is eurorack connection standard and eurorack connection standard only.īefore we dive any deeper, here’s a word of warning: if you’re looking for a thing for all your standard drum machine needs, this one will completely disappoint you. And then you’re all set: the thing contains, next to the actual synth, also a sequencer, so you can start playing. The thing quickly connects to the wall and to a pair of headphones through the rear-side 6.35mm out. IntroductionĪrriving in a nice cardboard box, you get the DFAM, a power supply (with interchangeable plugs – looks like there’s a chance to loose them), a manual (here, individual copies in English and German – bonus points), a set of six patch cables in colours from black to light grey, and a bunch of overlay sheets both blank and with some presets. Innovation: at least it didn’t look like a cross between a decade-old synth with some innovations from other folks. Price: well within the ballpark of comparable semi-modular synths. Yet when I read about (and listened to demos of) the new DFAM semi-modular synth, that changed. I was missing an innovative product at a competitive price. Yet what they have to offer today often seemed to me as lacking innovation, but not in high prices. Yes, we all know how Moog had revolutionized the synthesizer world by releasing, with the Minimoog, the first keyboard synthesizer. I thought I’d never get a Moog synthesizer.
