Awesome Moog

The latest creation from the analog synthesizer greats at Moog, the semi-modular DFAM (or Drummer from Another Mother) is designed specifically to create distinctive rhythmic sounds for use as the backbeat to electronic music tracks. Listen to sample tracks here.

While it’s a sound that owes a ton of credit to Stevie Wonder and Zapp & Roger, we have to say we’re extremely impressed with this funky demo of a talkbox with a Moog Little Phatty synth by Steveland Swatkins of Excellent Gentlemen.

Moog’s new analog synth has variable waveshape oscillators, a square wave sub ocillator, a noise generator and lots of ways to tweak them, including Moog’s classic ladder filter. Hear it in action at 4:30.
