ADDING IN A SUBHARMONIC OSCILLATOR

Rotate the

SUB 1 LEVEL

knob clockwise and you will hear

the sound of the first subharmonic oscillator associated
with VCO 1 mixed in with the sound of VCO 1. With the

SUB 1 FREQ

knob all the way clockwise, VCO 1 and SUB 1

are playing in unison. As you rotate the

SUB 1 FREQ

knob

slowly counter-clockwise, you will hear the pitch of SUB 1
step through the available undertones.

CREATING A SEQUENCE

INTRODUCTION

Before we can create a sequence, we need to let Subharmonicon
know what our intentions are. First, press the

OSC 1

button (located

in the

SEQ 1 ASSIGN

buttons) so that it is lit. This allows the

individual

STEP

knobs of Sequencer 1 to modify the pitch of VCO 1.

Next, press the

SEQ 1

button (located under the

RHYTHM 1

knob) so that it is

lit. This step attaches a rhythm source to Sequencer 1, so that we can use the

NEXT

and

RESET

buttons to navigate the individual steps of Sequencer 1.

Finally, use the

SEQ OCT

button to select the range, in octaves, of the

sequencer

STEP

knobs. An LED will indicate the current selection. Use the

SEQ OCT

button to cycle through the available options. For now, let’s use

the

option.

Press the

RESET

button to return the sequencer(s) to Step 1.

This will also reset the rhythm generators to their starting position.
