Sound

SOUND basically the Subharmonicon features two oscillators  VCO1  VCO2 +  four "subharmonic" generators (by octave division) two sequences and four polyrhythmic generators. The VCOs offers 3 different shapes: sawtooth, pulse or a mix of both;  all oscillators and subs can be tuned and mixed with individual volume level.

FILTER  classic Low Pass Filter moog resonant 4 pole slopes

ENVELOPE  two main EGS: VCA EG + VCF EG each with 2 segments AD  (Attack and Decay)

SEQUENCER there are 4 pulse trigger generators with up to 16 dividers for fascinating polyrhythms, all synched by internal frequency master tempo (range 20-300 bpm) or slaved to either  external Midi clock or analog pulse input (e.g modular).
