Common Moog Subharmonicon Questions
How do I sync the Subharmonicon to other gear using MIDI?
Connect a MIDI cable from your sequencer or DAW's MIDI output to the Subharmonicon's MIDI input. Then, configure your external device to send MIDI clock signals on the appropriate channel (Subharmonicon defaults to MIDI channel 1) and the Subharmonicon will follow the tempo.
Can I save presets or patterns on the Subharmonicon?
No, the Subharmonicon does not have any preset saving capabilities. Patch settings and rhythmic sequences must be recreated manually each time.
How do I create polyrhythms with the Subharmonicon?
Use the two subharmonic oscillators, each independently controlled by its own division rhythm, to create complex polyrhythmic patterns. Experiment with different division ratios on each subharmonic oscillator to explore diverse rhythmic relationships.
My Subharmonicon isn't making any sound, what should I check?
Ensure that all patch cables are securely connected, the oscillators are enabled (Osc 1 & 2 switches are on), the VCA is open (either manually or with an envelope), and the master volume is turned up. Verify that the sequencers are running and modulating the pitch or other parameters.
What are the 'subharmonics' and how do they work on the Subharmonicon?
The Subharmonicon generates subharmonics by dividing down the frequency of the two main oscillators. This creates new, lower-pitched tones that are mathematically related to the root oscillator, creating complex harmonies and rhythmic variations, selectable with the divide-down knobs for each subharmonic oscillator.
