EXPLORING THE DFAM (Continued)
GET THE PITCH JUMPING
The VCO DECAY knob is going to add some more motion to the pitch of the
note. It works in conjunction with the position of the VCO EG AMOUNT knobs.
Try turning the VCO DECAY knob up slowly and listen to how it affects the
sound. When you’re done experimenting, set this knob to 9 O’clock.
TIP: The VCO EG AMOUNT knob plays an extremely important role in how the
DFAM sounds and behaves. It is the difference between a silly sound and a
slamming kick drum. Take some time to rotate the VCO 1 EG AMOUNT knob and
listen to how it changes the character of a sound. When you are done, be sure to set it back to 3 O’clock.
SEQUENCER VELOCITY
Turn all 8 Sequencer VELOCITY knobs to their maximum position. Notice how every hit now sounds
the same.
RHYTHMIC VARIATION
Make some adjustments to all 8 of the Sequencer VELOCITY knobs and listen to how they affect
both the volume and punch of the sound. They also have an enormous impact on the rhythm and
feel of a sequence. Once you have a rhythm you are happy with, go to the next step.
SEQUENCING PITCH
It’s time to start using the Sequencer to control the pitch of your bass note.
Move the SEQ PITCH MOD switch to the VCO 1&2 position. You should now be
hearing subtle variations in pitch for each step of the sequence.
PITCH VARIATION
Make very small adjustments to all 8 of the Sequencer PITCH knobs and listen to how they affect the
sound. These knobs have an extremely wide range, which will become very handy as you experiment
with your DFAM over time.
TIP: If the notes your DFAM is playing have too much punch, try gently turning the VCO 1 EG AMOUNT
knob toward the center until you like what you hear.
