Oversynth has introduced a new series of overlays for customizing the Moog Mother-32 and Moog DFAM synthesizers.
The overlays are printed on a ‘durable, waterproof, and 100% recyclable polyester sheet’. Several variations are available for both the Mother-32 and the DFAM, allowing the user to tailor their synth’s look to preference or to coordinate with other synths:
Oversynth has overlays available to customize the look of a variety of synths, including the Mother-32, DFAM, Behringer Neutron, DSI Evolver, Elektron Model: Samples and Korg MS-20 Mini.
Pricing and Availability
The overlays for the Mother-32 and DFAM are available now for $35 USD.
I could understand the demand for overlays when Behringer introduced the Neutron, because it was so hideous and difficult to read.
And I can even see getting one for the Behringer D, just to get rid of the ugly logo and fix the typography.
But I don’t get the need for overlays for synths that already have a classic look, like the Korg MS-20 or the Moog Eurorack synths. They’re already easy to read and have a classic look.
Are people just wanting to ‘hotrod’ their gear?
What people want and what a company thinks might make them a quick buck are two different things.
I get what you mean. For the M32 anyway, they do print some of the ‘hidden’ shortcuts on the bottom. And it’s a little easier to read INs vs OUTs on the patch bay at a glance but, man, why not go for it an match the panel colors of the grandmother/matriarch?

They added designs in the Grandmother colors… https://www.oversynth.com/product-page/grndmthr-overlay-for-moog-mother-32
That’s not the goal here. He hasn’t designed these because they were ugly difficult to read. It’s designed to divide the interface into its various components (OSC, LFO, ENV) and make them instantly recognisable. I don’t particularly like these but I do have a DFAM and totally understand why someone would do this. It’s quite unusual for a synth to not have it’s various components clearly delineated
These are really sexy. They give them the same aesthetics as the grandmother/matriarch
I feel like I want the overlay to make the Matriarch look like the Mother 32 and not the other way around.
Cool. with the yellow one you can make it look like the Behringer Crave
Oh, the irony
These look so amazing.
I love the look of my mother-32’s and DFAM, but honestly Iove these designs even more.
