MAM

Also known as: Music and More

MAM, short for Music and More, was a small German manufacturer of compact analog synthesizers, drum modules, and effects that emerged in the mid-1990s. The brand built a niche reputation for affordable, no-frills hardware aimed at electronic and dance music producers, with a product line that fit into 19-inch racks or small desktop enclosures rather than full keyboard formats.

Its best-known products are the MB33 and later MB33 Retro, a Roland TB-303-style monophonic bass synthesizer expander; the ADX-1, a five-voice analog percussion synthesizer often compared to the Vermona DRM-1; the VF-11 vocoder; and the SQ16 step sequencer. The ADX-1 in particular has remained a sought-after piece on the used market thanks to its all-analog drum voices and dense per-voice knob layout.

MAM was eventually absorbed by German computer-audio company Terratec, after which most of the original MAM product line was discontinued. The MB33 Retro reissue brought the bass synth back in a compact desktop form factor, but the brand's catalog has remained limited compared to its 1990s peak.

MAM has 15 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Effects Processors, Synthesizers, and Audio Sequencers. Their gear is featured by 20 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Hip Hop. Notable users include Paul Frick, Billy Corgan, and Floating Points.
