Moog continues its momentum and completes its range of semi-modular synths.
In addition to the DFAM and the Mother 32, here is the SubHarmonicon!

This is a polyrhythmic analog synthesizer with a 6-tone engine and a multi-level clock generator under the hood: with the SubHarmonicon, navigate the world of subharmonics and polyrhythms.

The SubHarmonicon's 6-tone engine is the result of 2x analog VCOs and 4x subharmonic oscillators. Each subharmonic tone is derived from one of the two main VCOs, for superbly coherent chords. Built-in quantization allows you to get perfect intervals every time with selections for multiple tuning systems.

The animation of SubHarmonicon's distinctive chord shapes is done through a polyrhythmic pair of 4-step sequencers. Each sequencer is timed by one or all of four beat generators that produce mathematical divisions of the master tempo. Layer multiple beat generators on top of each other to create complex polyrhythms and discover inspiring new patterns and styles. Dive into SubHarmonicon’s dual envelope generators, Moog ladder filter, and analog VCA to call up dynamic articulations ranging from lush pads and fuzzy edges to punchy plosives and ritualistic rhythms.

While no patches are required to start creating, exploring SubHarmonicon’s modular patch bay opens up worlds of possibilities as you make new connections and plug into new ideas. The 3.5-point to 32-point patch bay can be patched by itself, expanding SubHarmonicon's onboard capabilities, or interfaced with Mother-32, DFAM, and other Eurorack-compatible outboard gear (included MIDI Type-A adapter for DIN to 3.5mm MIDI input). Use it as a standalone synth with an included +12V DC power supply, or simply remove the front panel to install it in any Eurorack system.
