# Moog - DFAM Through the Labyrinth Wavefolder - SignalPath Patch: [[Patches/Moog - DFAM Through the Labyrinth Wavefolder]] ## Overview DFAM is the drum source. Labyrinth's wavefolder, VCAs and envelopes are the effect, with Labyrinth's own sequencer stopped. Listen at the Labyrinth rear output, and blend the dry DFAM on a second mixer channel. ```mermaid flowchart LR DF[DFAM drums] -- "audio" --> Lab[Labyrinth wavefolder] DF -- "TRIGGER" --> Lab DF -- "VELOCITY" --> Lab Lab --> Mix[mixer] DF --> Mix linkStyle 0 stroke:#e0b800,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 1 stroke:#d62828,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 2 stroke:#1e63d6,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 3 stroke:#222,stroke-width:3px linkStyle 4 stroke:#222,stroke-width:3px ``` **Cable colors:** [[Cable Colors]] after [Learning Modular](https://learningmodular.com/choosing-patch-cables/): ⚪ Gray 1 V/oct · 🔵 Blue modulation · 🟡 Yellow audio · 🔴 Red gates/triggers · 🟢 Green clock/sync · ⚫ Black external ## Why it sounds clangy DFAM's VCA output goes into Labyrinth VCW IN. Labyrinth's sequencer stays stopped, ORDER is PARALLEL, and BLEND is fully toward the wavefolder. The Labyrinth mixer levels (VCO, MOD VCO, NOISE, RING MOD) are all down, so only DFAM is heard. FOLD sits just before noon and BIAS just after, for asymmetric folding, which turns toms and kicks into bright West-coast tones. ## Why loud steps fold harder DFAM VELOCITY goes to Labyrinth FOLD, which breaks the EG1 normal, so the VCW EG1/CV AMT knob now scales the velocity CV. Spread the VELOCITY 1–8 knobs wide; each one is the fold depth for its step. ## Why the hits are chopped short DFAM TRIGGER, a short 0 to 5 V pulse, goes to Labyrinth TRIGGER and fires EG1 and EG2 on every DFAM step. EG2, the VCA envelope, has a short decay, so each folded hit is cut off. Blend the dry DFAM back in on a second mixer channel to keep the punch. The patch also suggests trying ORDER set to VCW→VCF and BLEND toward VCF, to filter the folded drums. The manual does not say whether VCW IN overrides the mixer feed in that order, so check it by ear with the Labyrinth mixer levels down. ## Short version DFAM hits the wavefolder, velocity sets how hard it folds, and you blend the dry drums back in for punch.
