Anyone recommend a Moog Dfam+ Mother 32?
I want to integrate them with a Rytm and a Digitone - later I will get also an OT
Nobody can tell what you want.
You like it or not.
People who will answer will like it or not.
Watch some yt, perhaps it will help you.

I meant more the 2 combined- if it is worth getting them together or just the Dfam
I have both, I like it.
I don’t recommend it though.
Cool- any specific reason?
If I had to choose one I’d get the dfam, but I got them both together with the stand and they are really fun. I actually just think of them as a single unit. I like to just mess around and accidentally discover interesting textures and rhythmic patterns which I record straight away because I know there is little chance of me ever creating exactly that sound again later. This is the complete opposite to how I work with some other synths where I like to be more structured.

I got the M32 when it was released and also the DFAM when it was released so I did not get them together.
I would recommend getting just one. Try it and check if it is for you. Buying another unit later is more fun than selling disappointments.
I think I would also recommend to get 2 DFAM’s and 4 M32’s. And possibly a subharmonicon too soonish 
Some get two M32s or two DFAMs. It’s all up to what you want to add to your setup!

I was going to get the mother 32 only because it has midi but i like much more the dfam
Sounds like you can afford to buy stuff – and Moog is always good.
Adding to a Moog hodgepodge consider the about to be announce Moog Subharmonicon. In a general sense it’s got a little of the M32 and DFAM thing going on, plus it brings some other stuff to the party too. And then you’d have something a lot of other people don’t have.
You can check the MIDI in check box with it too (though the nitty-gritty detail on this has not been specified yet) and it’s got the DFAM sequencer sort of thing, plus the option of quantizing the pitch of the notes which is always a challenge on the DFAM. And it’s does funky polyrhythms and harmonies like a groovebox, which is more difficult with the M32 and DFAM.
There you go – problem solved !
down point of the subharmonicon it has no noise as far as I can see. For me the noise is essential sound part of the DFAM … for example fming the filter with noise just a little … bäm. So I think it depends on what you wanna do with it. Melodic stuff? even Chords? or drums?
If you like the DFAM (as I and many others do) the way is not far to want a 2nd one. One for the bass tones with the lowpass filter and the other for all kinds of hihat shizzle with the hipass filter on top.

… and me – got one too and love it.
My point being these three are on a semi-modular continuum and you can flow between them easily enough. Adding noise from an external source and doing other sounds shouldn’t be difficult.
As an example of this, of blurring the lines, check out this video from Loopop, where he puts a DFAM together with a Make Noise Maths Eurorack module and an external oscillator, and creates something like a Subharmonicon. Moving the reverse direction from a Subharmonicon will be possible too using the patch panel and external modules.
I just want to open some horizons and day light for Riuozami.
Seems my post was flagged (?) because it was off topic. 
Well, I thought the OP considering getting an M32 and my intention to sell one was relevent to the topic. Peculiar.

Very interesting
I want to use the mm32 and dfam with digitone and sometimes the rytm or experimenting with a nord lead and a digitone.

I am not too sure about mm32. I have seen a lot of youtube videos of ppl using the mm32 foe producing cheesy music.
I’m pretty sure it has the same square vco and the same ladder lp filter as the DFAM. It sounds super fat with pulse width modulation. Just put in non cheesy sequences 
A possible alternative to the M32 that you might consider is the Behringer Crave. So if you have an itch that direction, but you’re not overwhelmingly attached to the M32, you can look at any suitable alternative. There are others too.
I have the DFAM and looked at m32 as an addition for a long time. I ended up getting pittsburgh lifeforms sv-1 instead as it just seemed to have more modules/features. no sequencer though but I had that covered with other stuff.

this, so…
Get the OT first and then do the ARP thing with the M32
Yeah now it allows ignore midi start/stop it won’t drive you up the effin wall.
My only contribution to this is that while the two are for very different purposes (and are both great at what they do) they’re both Moogs and will be identical soundwise. Maybe the DFAM plus OCoast or Microvolt.
