Subharmonicon, Moog's Polyrhythmic Vision in the Lineage of Mother-32 and DFAM
Designed in Asheville, the Subharmonicon belongs to Moog's semi-modular family alongside the iconic Mother-32 and DFAM. Inspired by the subharmonic series and mathematical rhythmic divisions, it puts a unique instrument in your hands-halfway between synthesizer, experimental sequencer, and pattern machine. Its place in the Moog lineup: an explorer of derived chords and nested meters, crafted for composers seeking new musical heuristics.
For Curious Producers, from Ambient to Experimental Techno
The Subharmonicon suits motivated beginners as well as experienced users who want to sculpt evolving textures without complex menus. Perfect for ambient, minimal techno, synthwave, film music, or improvised live performances, it excels in compact modular studios and on stage to generate hypnotic patterns, deep basses, and shifting harmonies.

Questions frequently asked
Can the Moog Subharmonicon create polyrhythms?
Four rhythm generators divide the master tempo into integer divisions from 1 to 16. They drive two 4-step sequencers and enable the creation of nested meters. The clock range extends from 20 to 3000 BPM.
What is the polyphony and how many oscillators are available?
The paraphonic architecture combines 6 oscillators: 2 main VCOs and 4 mathematically related subharmonics. Each VCO has two subharmonics, enabling the construction of chords and derived intervals.
Can it be synchronized via MIDI or with an external clock?
Synchronization is provided via MIDI clock or external clock, in addition to the internal clock. A MIDI input and a minijack input are available for this purpose.
Is the Subharmonicon compatible with Eurorack?
This model can operate standalone or be integrated into a Eurorack system. Its 32-point patch bay with 3.5 mm minijack connectors allows internal modulations and connections with other modules.
What audio outputs are available?
Audio connectivity includes a 6.35 mm TS instrument output and a 6.35 mm TRS headphone output. The power supply is included, providing +12 VDC at 1200 mA.
