Common Moog DFAM Questions
How do I sync the DFAM's sequencer to an external MIDI clock?
Connect the MIDI output of your sequencer to the DFAM's MIDI input. The DFAM will automatically lock to the incoming clock signal if the Tempo knob is set to an appropriate range and the ADV/CLOCK switch is set to CLOCK mode.
Can I save presets or drum patterns on the DFAM?
The DFAM does not have preset or pattern saving capabilities. You must manually recreate your sounds and sequences each time, making documentation through photos or external sequencers key.
What is the general workflow for creating a simple drum pattern on the DFAM?
Start by setting the VCO and VCF parameters to create your desired sound, then use the sequencer knobs to program the pitch and filter cutoff changes for each step, using the Velocity and Gate outputs to shape the dynamics of your sound.
My DFAM isn't making any sound, even though it's powered on and the sequencer is running. What should I check?
Verify the Volume knob is turned up, and ensure that the VCO and VCF are outputting a signal; patch the VCO or VCF output directly to the Ext. Audio input to test if the problem lies with the Noise generator or external audio path.
What is the function of the VC Mix knob and how can I use it creatively?
The VC Mix knob blends the VCO (oscillator) and Noise generator signals before they enter the VCF. Experiment with different combinations of VCO waveform, noise type, and VC Mix settings to create complex and evolving textures by modulating the VC Mix knob.
