Unleash your creativity with the Moog Subharmonicon, the latest addition to Moog's esteemed Semi-modular synth family. This semi-modular analog polyrhythmic synthesizer employs precise mathematical algorithms to finely adjust its Subharmonic oscillators while controlling the timing of all four rhythm generators. This precision in pattern and phrase creation ensures a distinctive musical coherence that enriches your productions and performances.
Empower your sonic explorations with two VCOs, four subharmonic oscillators, two 4-step sequencers, and four rhythm generators. With these comprehensive components, Moog equips you to expand your sonic horizons. Like its counterparts, the Mother-32 and DFM models, the Subharmonicon fits within a 60HP Eurorack format and seamlessly integrates with Eurorack gear for limitless sonic possibilities.
At the core of the Subharmonicon's sonic palette are two analog VCOs and four Subharmonic Oscillators, offering six potent sound sources for your creative endeavors. Each Subharmonic tone is meticulously derived from one of the two main VCOs, ensuring precise and consistent chord shapes that inspire creativity. With the onboard quantization system, you can effortlessly dial in perfect intervals, crafting a diverse array of sounds from lush pads to pulsating rhythms.
Elevate your compositions with the pair of polyrhythmic four-step sequencers, which breathe life into the Subharmonicon's innovative chord shapes. Layer rhythm generators atop one another to create complex and intricate polyrhythms, with each sequencer clocked by one or any of the four generators, offering mathematical divisions of the master tempo.
Jumpstart your creative journey without the need for patching, thanks to Moog's intuitive design. While the Subharmonicon's modular patchbay awaits your exploration, offering a gateway to endless possibilities. The 32-point patchbay can be routed into itself, expanding the Subharmonicon's capabilities further. Additionally, you can seamlessly connect your Mother-32, DFAM, or any other Eurorack compatible equipment, unlocking new sonic dimensions.
