Moog Sound Studio: DFAM+Subharmonicon+Mother-32 – Generative BUNDLE (75 Patches)


Categories: , , , , Tags: ,

Description

This bundle includes three Moog Sound Studio Generative soundsets:

  1. DFAM+Mother-32: 25 Generative Patches
  2. DFAM+Subharmonicon: 25 Generative Patches
  3. DFAM+Mother-32+Subharmonicon: 25 Generative Patches.

The bundle doesn’t include individual soundsets (for DFAM/Mother-32/Subharmonicon) and Combo Patches for these synthesizers. You may get them separately.

The generative genre of sound design is highly popular within modular culture, and the Moog Sound Studio offers an excellent feature set to explore it.

🎛 Controlled chaos and randomness, probability, non-repetitiveness, tempo shifts, pattern uniqueness, the alternation of short and long sounds, unexpected changes, silence and density, harmonic and FX-like tones, and glitchy bursts throughout sequences — all of these elements are part of the soundset.

🎚 Generative timbres can serve as a strong addition to, or the main element of, ambient or techno tracks, jams, and performances. You can also record fragments into your DAW or sampler, slice them into one-shots or loops, and obtain unique material for further processing.

🕹 The key idea behind the soundsets is a high level of interconnection. In this patchbooks, the timbres of the synths are intertwined — they cannot exist independently:

🔹 They modulate each other with LFOs and envelopes.
🔹 A sequence from one synth may change parameters on another.
🔹 Trigger interactions, clock/rhythm, and run/stop modulations break predictable patterns.
🔹 Audio signals from VCOs may be used as modulation sources to create harmonies, intervals, or wild experimental inharmonic tones.
🔹 Alternatively, they can be used as audio sources routed into another synth to be processed through its unique filter and envelope — giving the signal a “second life.”

DFAM, M32, and SUBH each play distinct and defined roles — it’s not a sound mess, but a tightly integrated system where the synths work in close cooperation.

📔 The soundsets are presented in PDF format. Each page includes notes explaining how the patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance.

If you carefully follow the settings and experiment with the suggestions in the notes, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the synths and uncover their full potential.

To recreate these patches, you’ll need up to 20 patch cables.
📻 Audio examples for all patches are included in the soundset folder, presented in four versions: DFAM only, Mother-32 only, Subharmonicon only, and all together.

💡 The soundsets don’t contain Mother-32 patterns. There’s currently no way to export them, so it’s impossible to share the exact same sequences from my examples. However, this isn’t really a problem, as even simple sequences can evolve into complex ones through creative patching. You can pre-program your own patterns or use ones already saved on your synth.

I added pads to the video demos to place the presets in a musical context. These pads are not included in the soundset.
