Product information "Moog Subharmonicon"
The Moog Subharmonicon is a versatile analogue labyrinth of subharmonically derived synthesis and polyrhythm patterns, equally suited to losing yourself and finding yourself through sound. This new semi-modular analogue synthesizer is designed for the exploration of sequences that unfold and evolve over time, spiralling through six-note subharmonic chords and organic polyrhythms.
Subharmonicon is the latest addition to Moog's family of semi-modular analogue synthesizers (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32 and DFAM). Subharmonicon is capable of creating complex sounds and patterns, yet is incredibly easy to use. With two VCOs, four subharmonic oscillators, two 4-stage sequencers and four rhythm generators, this new music machine creates a rich harmonic kaleidoscope that splits in on itself until everything above becomes below. Although no patches are required to start generating, Subharmonicon can be patched into itself to expand its on-board capabilities, or connected to Mother-32, DFAM and other external Eurorack-compatible devices for infinite possibilities.
Deeper understanding (The past influences the future)
For the design of Subharmonicon, Moog was inspired by radical theories of music composition that emerged in experimental circles in the 1930s and 1940s. Inspired by Joseph Schillinger's mathematical systems for music composition, Subharmonicon is influenced by two analogue innovations from the 1930s and 1940s: the Mixtur Trautonium, which used a series of subharmonic oscillators to create electronic undertones, and the Rhythmicon (developed by Leon Theremin, the inventor of the Theremin), an instrument capable of making several harmonically related polyrhythm generators sound simultaneously.
