Overview
The Moog Subharmonicon combines a 6-tone analog sound engine with multi-layered rhythm generators, allowing musicians to explore subharmonics, polyrhythms, and complex tonal relationships. Its semi-modular architecture provides flexibility for patching, sequencing, and experimental sound design. Musicians can connect external devices through the extensive patchbay or utilize its built-in sequencers for dynamic composition.
This synthesizer features a self-oscillating ladder filter, dual analog sequencers, and multiple subharmonic oscillators, delivering rich, evolving textures ideal for electronic music, sound design, and educational purposes.
Key Features
- Semi-modular analog synthesizer with 6-tone sound engine and polyrhythmic capabilities
- Dual 4-step sequencers with selectable quantization and synchronization options
- Four internal rhythm generators dividing tempo from 1–16, supporting 20–3,000 BPM
- Self-oscillating 4-pole low-pass ladder filter for precise tonal shaping
- 32 x 3.5 mm patchbay jacks (17 inputs, 15 outputs) for versatile routing
- MIDI input (3.5 mm Type A) and headphone/instrument outputs for direct use
- Compact design suitable for desktop, rack, or Eurorack integration
