The Subharmonicon is a really distinctive semi-modular desktop synthesizer from Moog. Get an in-depth understanding of this polyrhythmic analog instrument, on this course by sound designer and synthesis skilled Rishabh Rajan!
If you happen to like sonic experimentation, you’ll love the Moog Subharmonicon! Impressed by early (and really uncommon) digital devices from the Thirties and Nineteen Forties (the Trautonium and the Rhythmicon), the Subharmonicon just isn’t your typical subtractive synth. With its 6-tone sound engine, a number of tuning programs, patchbay, and polyrhythmic sequencer, the Subharmonicon is ideal for creating complicated sequences and textures. This course goes over each side of the synth, from the heritage of the instrument to its novel polyrhythmic sequencer and versatile semi-modular functionalities.
Rishabh begins with a short historical past lesson on the Subharmonicon’s ancestors, the Trautonium and the Rhythmicon. Subsequent, he offers an outline of the entrance panel, earlier than diving deeper and overlaying each characteristic of this highly effective instrument. You learn to use the two VCOs and the 4 Sub oscillators to create complicated tones. You discover Pulse Width modulation, the VCA, the Moog ladder filter and the versatile patchbay. In fact, you additionally study to grasp the highly effective polyrhythmic sequencer and create your individual evolving sequences…
So sit again, seize your patching cables, and be a part of your private coach Rishabh Rajan on this 20-tutorial course! Limitless sequencing and synthesis potentialities await!
