Oh wow, loving the results, perhaps I'll wander into the twilight zone of modular someday, heh. Would love to hear a track built on some of the vibes in this video. Thanks for the review and demo!

When I finally get my Subharmonicon (soon now; just have to sell some other gear) it will be your (and Jeremy’s tbh) video that I will be returning to. Thanks for the tips!

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

Just got one! Once you get couple modules (think about LFOs and attenuating since there's none on the Sub) there will be nothing stopping you!

[@hasan7786]

I bought this the day they released it. Cant stop turning it on, even if just for 3 minutes. I havent even paired it with the dfam or mother yet. Just fun by itself, and it gets tough with a midi keyboard. Real raw and gritty tones.

[@boutstaxx]

So will it b good to sample for hip hop n rnb and trap just went down this rabbit hole I already have dfam mother 32 and grandmother and just started learning how to use them been chipping at the mother 32 first I just felt like if I can understand how to use the mother 32 first itll make learning everything else a breeze no i don't need this right now but what im asking is this something i should consider purchasing or is it more of a novelty i would love to have your input since u said you have bout the same combination for awhile im guessing thanks again brother

[@hasan7786]

@@boutstaxx Well, lets say you wont get it and instantly transform into Lisa Bella Donna. I think with any piece of equipment, you get what you put into it but with these semi-modular pieces, especially when you have more than one, you can get a lot more through exploration that I didn't truly feel with other gear. But there is also a ceiling which is not something you have with software. I mean, software can do EVERYTHING. I mean, i can enjoy 3 cookies, but id stop caring if I have infinite cookies. Unless you're the Cookie Monster or an ocean of milk. You know? So if your rockin the mother and dfam, just think of this as an extension as well as another universe to explore. It definitely gets gritty which is what i like. Even if i ditched the sequencer and just got down with the 2 VCO's and the paired subs, Its like having a mega-moog minitaur with patching options. Keep watching vids, maybe someone will be exploring it in a way that will push you over the line to purchase but I have no regrets.

that reverb made it sing, if they make another version of this with the moog matriarch filters built in would be crazy

[@timthompson468]

Pretty cool. I’ve got one coming next week. I think it will be interesting to explore the rhythms.

[@brianrodman1033]

Selfishly hoping that you do end up getting into modular/semi modular synths so I get to see more modular videos from you in the future. The Subharmonicon would obviously go really well with a Mother 32 and the DFAM. Also the Make Noise 0-Coast is a great semi-modular that you cant go wrong with and it excels as its own instrument with the help of a controller as well as integrating into a eurorack system nicely. Then there is the new Make Noise 0-Control which with the 0-Coast is a match made in heaven. Great tactile control yet more open ended than a keyboard allowing for a lot of creative options.

[@ayatsubame]

seems really great for those lumpy rhythms that you favor

[@LookitsTook]

I was thinking about getting this for my first modular synth too :D

[@wiktoria_dyszy]

Omg amazing

[@gelatinous6915]

I am SUPER happy to see Moog finally expanding from the “super elusive Mercedes of synths.” The Subharmonicon brings a crap ton of modular coolness to Moog sound quality for a surprising price.

[@Vimana]

Congratulations on your new synthesizer! These experimental synth videos can be quite enjoyable. Some of you watching this might wonder about the "VCF EG AMT" (Voltage Controlled Filter Envelope Generator Amount) and its tiny minus "(-)" and plus "(+)" markings... Well, it can be quite confusing. When it's at the middle then the value is zero but there is no centering or even any markings at that point for some odd reason. When you turn it anticlockwise from its middle position, then it has a negative value. It's quite a peculiar design choice. It should be much more clear when the value is at zero. As most of us probably know, the VCF Attack and the VCF Decay (also VCF Sustain and VCF Release, both of which are missing here) don't do anything at all if the "VCF EG AMT" is at zero. Then there's absolutely no effect to the filter's cutoff frequency. If the VCF EG AMT has a negative value, then it has an opposite effect to the AD(SR). Well, suddenly using an inverted envelope also makes this "a happy accident machine indeed!" :-) Anyway, thank you for every music maker out there! I truly appreciate what you do. It's very enjoyable to see and hear when people enjoy making new sounds. That creativity inspires others as well and eventually we all end up having some wonderful new music. I wish you all the best. Take care, everyone!

[@000aleph]

Thank you

[@jonv2911]

Been planning to get one soon, actually with the Meris Polymoon delay that appeared at the beginning of the stream, now I’m positive. I’ll get both!!

looks fkn sweet

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

I had a minimoog back in the day, and have not pursued another mostly because of the price. I could say that I refuse to purchase from anyone that treats they’re employees the way they have, honestly I don’t know how Bob treated them, still, I want one of these, I’ve been waiting for the Behringer Splice but I can have two to compare when it does arrive. The happy accident is what intrigued me with this unit and I believe some of my off the wall effects will compliment it even more. The problem with modular and semi modular is for the cost, can I be productive with it. Modular in my style of music (jazz/metal, sort of my own thing), is that it’s mostly a background thing which leads to a lot of sequence experimentation and the market is loaded with lots of choices right now in that area. Although they all have a special something, I’m not willing to pay what they are asking for a, I might have a use for that! I don’t care if anyone is anti Behringer, actually I feel they are missing out! They have made an extremely expensive hobby, and it is a hobby, not an investment, semi-affordable! To my point! I’m only a year into my hobby of Modular and I’m beginning to feel what is missing and what is good without spending an another fortune in stuff! I have no idea how the Subharmonican works, but somehow it randomly seems to produce results. I have a thought that when I get a patch I use, I’ll never be able to replicate it, but that’s just the nature of ANY modular, especially analog. I’m not able physically to gig anymore so chances are my recordings will be the sole product of my time and money. For the cost of it, there is very little reward other than self pride, certainly there is no monetary value in it unless you get very lucky with something like “Oh Yeah “ or the “End of the World”. Those aren’t correct titles but you all know the songs I’m talking about. Sorry to go on and on, from what I’ve heard, the Subharmonican looks like it will a lot of fun! Ty for the video!
