Moog DFAM percussion synthesizer tutorial Lesson 21: Using Grandmother as a MIDI sync for DFAM @EthanJamesMusic1

Uploaded August 2022 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

This is a tutorials series for anyone who wants to learn how to use the Moog DFAM to its fullest extent. The DFAM does drum sounds, bass sounds, percussion, and all kinds of other wild things. I've tried to break things down into small videos that are easy to mentally digest and apply to your own electronic music. We will be exploring both east coast tonal and west coast avant-garde uses of the synthesizer, as well as some techno specific applications.
This twenty-first video shows how to use the Grandmother as an ad hoc MIDI sync device for the DFAM. Please leave a comment with any questions or requests and a like if this was helpful.
