It comes in a custom made and beautifully decorated box. The Sound Studio bundle offers a bit of a classic bass and drums combo for everything from instant Techno to acidic motions, through ambient explorations and banging wobbles – you know the sort of thing. They both have patch bays to the right which open up all sorts of modulation and cross-synthesis possibilities. The DFAM or Drummer From Another Mother is a rhythmic percussion machine with 8 steps of pitch and velocity running 2 oscillators and noise in new and interesting ways. In case you haven’t come across them before the Mother-32 is a single oscillator analog monophonic synthesizer with a classic ladder filter, 32-step sequencer and mini keyboard.
For this review Moog sent me the Mother-32 and DFAM Sound Studio and I’ll be talking about this bundle specifically although the concepts and contents (other than the synths) are identical for both.
There are currently two versions: one with a Mother-32 and a DFAM, the other with a DFAM and a Subharmonicon.
