Moog Subharmonicon Semi-Modular Polyrhythmic Analog Synthesizer Overview
Moog Subharmonicon
Semi-Modular Polyrhythmic Analog Synthesizer
Subharmonicon is a completely unique, one of a kind synthesizer unlike anything else on the market. Originally produced as a limited run of 120 units for their Moogfest engineering workshop event, it’s gone on to become one of their most requested product releases. Like the Mother-32 and DFAM, it’s designed to fit into the Mother ecosystem, can act as a Eurorack module or be paired with those units to form a complete performance instrument using their case bracket system. In use Subharmonicon feels like the ‘missing piece’, creating kaleidoscopic harmonic pads and beds, a perfect complement for huge basslines from Mother-32 and rhythms from DFAM. Subharmonicon’s design has evolved since the Moogfest launch, and is fully refined and ready for primetime.
The Moog Subharmonicon is a versatile analog labyrinth of subharmonically derived synthesis and polyrhythmic patterns, equally suited for losing oneself and simultaneously finding oneself through sound. This new semi-modular analog synthesizer is designed for the exploration of sequences that unfold and evolve over time, spiralling through six-tone subharmonic chords and organic polyrhythms.
