Combinator From Another Mother (CFAM) | Combinator Instrument for Reason
This is a combinator instrument inspired by the Moog DFAM (Drummer From Another Mother).
Do not expect an exact clone of the DFAM, because let's be real, this isn't a Behringer product. Instead, what you will get is something very similar to the look, feel, parameters, sound and function of the aforementioned Moog synthesizer.

It's essentially 2x Oscillators (square and triangle wave) + a noise oscillator, a LP/HP filter and volume - controlled by 3x envelopes - with a bit of FM, AM, Hard Sync and Noise/osc to Filter FM modulation thrown in.
Where the magic comes in is in the front-panel sequencer and button-style patch bay. Almost anything you change on this device can have an effect on something else, making it extremely fun and at times unpredictable.
It is very easy to get yourself into a flow state of rotating between each section, coming up with new dynamic and exciting rhythms and sounds along the way.
Most of the form and function of the DFAM has been ported here, with the exception of all the possible routings of the patch-bay. In this combinator only the common and most sonically interesting routings have been made available.
x5 presets come included which shows off the range of this combinator.
Other features include
- Turning the sequencer on/off and playing it like a traditional synth
- Adjusting the tempo and number of steps (sequentially from Left to Right) in the sequencer to achieve polyrhythmical sequences
- Transposing the sequence with midi / midi keyboard
- Adjustable noise color
