I am a keyboard player with a background in metal, experimental and drone music. Sound quality and personality is the thing I care the most about. I have no previous experience with modular.
The DFAM will not allow you to create complex and nuanced beats: the eight step sequencer means that you'll get two bars worth of drum rhythm, so bear that in mind. However, in my experience, once I find a nice sound (which is all the time, both by accident and by design) those 8 percussion hits end up being be so full of character, versatility, punch, and delicious moog-y fatness that I find myself jamming for several minutes before I ever consider twisting a knob in search for a new beat.
Plug this thing to a delay pedal or VST (warning, you must have a Control Voltage converter) and you'll find yourself swimming in an ocean of infinite drum kicks and polyrhythmic white noise.
If you, like me, enjoy sound design and have an aversion to navigating menus (finding some sort of visceral pleasure in the tactile act of tweaking frequencies by twisting knobs): this thing is for you.

Will you "click"
Roport 29.09.2020
It's a unique machine, and there for, very tempting to buy.
Some will "click" with it and use it often while others will use it every now and then. Problem is, you can't know for sure until you have it.
As such, I wouldn't give it priority unless you have your main setup stable and going.

Little beast!
Wet-Man 12.12.2024
The sound quality and I suspect the infinite sound modulation possibilities of this analogue drum machine, brings me to orgasm every time I fire it up! My most significant feature in this synth is that everything is done in real-time and each modulation change brings a new quality. This machine disciplines my character in composing music. Zero boredom, total utopia! I didn't buy it with the idea of recording and repeating samples. I purchased this beast because manipulating the soul of its electricity is more important to me.

Permanent place in my studio
DLY-LNE 22.01.2025
The DFAM is truly an amazing piece of of gear and I use it in two main ways.
Number 1:
The onboard sequencer allows the user to create drum tracks that sound really gritty and brutal, as well as creating killer baselines. Using the sequencers to generate sounds often produces lots of happy accidents as it has mind of its own! Often the accidents take form in different grooves and rhythms that I wouldn't normally come up with of think off.
Number 2
I use the DFAM to create one shot drums all the time, I find that I am able to produce huge kicks with precision, create snares and claps by layering different sounds.
Its these two use cases that has earnt this machine a permanent place in my studio. I have had this product for about 3 years now.
Only down side is that there is no Midi but If you have a CV/Gate source this shouldn't matter too much.
