Exclusive Accessory Bundle
Everything you need for modular synthesis
Moog Sound Studio is a comprehensive journey into the world of modular synths, making it the ultimate synthesizer experience. This is no ordinary bundle comprised of two synths, this special-edition package includes a wide range of custom and exclusive accessories. The custom stereo summing mixer provides four inputs and acts as the main hub of your Moog Sound Studio. The mixer also features a built-in three-way power distribution hub, providing power for your growing synth collection. Perfect for using both synths together, the two-tier rack allows you to install both the DFAM and Mother-32 in one convenient piece of housing.
A sturdy cable organiser complete with a custom patch cable set is also included, allowing you to experiment with all the different connections on your synths. You can even mount the cable organiser to a wall for quick and easy cable changes. Learn as you create, with guided exercises, experimental patch sheets and educational games. Last but not least, the package includes exclusive studio art from Moog comprised of unique characters, posters other smaller objects.
Moog DFAM Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesizer
100 percent analog
The DFAM is a fully analog machine that produces a rich, full-bodied, analog vintage sound. The 2 wide-range analog oscillators enable you to create everything from warm, deep pulsing basses to chunky raw FM percussion. It offers a hands-on approach to percussive sequence creation, allowing you to tweak and experiment as you like. Exploring and experimenting is highly suggested.
Human behaviour
The Moog Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM) features a versatile and easy-to-use 8-step analog sequencer with velocity. It allows you to control the pitch for each step, as well as velocity. This gives your sequence a more human feel rather than robotic. Set the pitch for each step, then adjust velocity on-the-fly to add some movement and variation. The three dedicated analog envelopes work dynamically with the sequencer to ensure the toms breathe, impacts evolve, and movement is created with a simple turn of the knob.
Semi-modular
Each DFAM comes with a number of Moog patch cables that can be used with the integrated 24-point modular patchbay. The DFAM requires no patching to create a rhythmic composition, making it ideal for someone looking for their first synthesizer/sequencer. However, for the more advanced user or the experimentalist, the DFAM provides a patchbay that can be used to unlock a whole new array of sounds and behaviours. The patchbay is also a great way for beginners to delve into the world of modular patching. Additionally, the Moog DFAM can be easily removed from its case and mounted into a Eurorack system (requires a 10 to 16 PIN eurorack cable).
Wide range of controls for sound design
The DFAM offers a range of controls for creating and tweaking sounds. 2 oscillators offer hard sync and FM cross-modulation, allowing you to shape between rhythmic pulsations, resounding bass, and resonant bells instantly. The integrated Moog Ladder filter offers high and low-pass, allowing you to dynamically shape your sound. The DFAM also features a white noise generator, allowing you to add air and high-frequency content to your sounds. The DFAM is capable of creating everything from huge bass tones, leads, and most importantly, raw FM percussion.
Mother-32 Voltage Controlled Step Sequencer
Semi-modular design
Mother-32's semi-modular design means that no patching is required to create powerful analog sounds, allowing musicians of any experience to quickly begin making music. Synthesists will enjoy exploring the extensive 32-point patchbay, unlocking truly expressive, unique and complex synthesis capabilities. The patchbay also delivers access to a wide range of both sounds and functionality, including an assignable CV output jack, MIDI to CV conversion, external audio input, a second voltage-controlled mixer and multiple unit expandability for almost endless creative possibilities.
Onboard sound sources
The Moog Mother-32 comes equipped with various onboard sound sources that include a powerful 10-octave analog oscillator with variable pulse width, and an analog white noise generator. The signals from each sound source are then blended together by a voltage-controller mixer for dynamic sound creation and manipulation. From the mixer, sound then travels through a Moog Ladder Filter with selectable low pass and high pass filter types.
32-step sequencer
Musical creation and programming are executed via Mother-32's comprehensive 32-step, voltage controlled sequencer or an external MIDI controller. By having the choice of two sequencing styles, you have the ability to quickly create new musical ideas with ease and familiarity. A total of 64 patterns can be stored and recalled from within Mother-32's memory bank.
