Moog Subharmonicon Semi-Modular Polyrhythmic Analog Synthesizer
SKU: MOD-SUBH
A Universe of Subharmonics and Polyrhythms
The Moog Subharmonicon is a semi-modular synthesizer designed for a unique journey into the world of subharmonics, polyrhythms, and the spaces in between. It's an instrument of discovery, featuring a 100% analog signal path with two powerful VCOs, four subharmonic oscillators, and a dual-sequencer that can be layered to create complex, interwoven patterns. Inspired by the historical Trautonium and Rhythmicon, the Subharmonicon invites you to explore novel harmonies and rhythms, making it an endless source of inspiration for the modern sound designer, producer, and electronic musician.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Rich Subharmonic Oscillators
At its core are two analog VCOs, each with two tunable subharmonic oscillators. This unique architecture allows you to create rich, six-tone chord shapes and intricate intervals based on the mathematical principles of the subharmonic series, delivering sounds that are both musically intriguing and sonically massive.
-
Polyrhythmic Sequencing Power
Two independent 4-step analog sequencers can be clocked at different, mathematically-derived speeds to create complex and evolving polyrhythms. Layer rhythmic patterns on top of each other to generate shifting textures and hypnotic grooves that are impossible to create with a standard sequencer.
-
Legendary Moog Ladder Filter
Shape your sound with the iconic Moog Ladder Filter. This classic 24dB/octave low-pass filter provides the warmth, punch, and character that has been the foundation of electronic music for decades.
-
Expansive Semi-Modular Patch Bay
While no patching is required to start creating, the 32-point, 3.5mm patch bay allows you to override the internal connections and unlock limitless possibilities for sound design. The Subharmonicon is designed to be a standalone powerhouse or the perfect companion to a Mother-32, DFAM, or any Eurorack-compatible system.
