Subharmonicon : A grower

3 years ago

I'm mainly interested in playing live, so please consider this when reading my review...

I really didn't like the subharmonicon at first. It felt like a one-trick pony and it was difficult to consistently get music out of it. I prefer darker sounds and it all seemed a bit too jolly. Turns out I just needed to learn how to use it properly! It's a beast and one of the most musical tools I've ever used. It takes a bit of thought and a lot of practice, but it is capable of many things, including dark and horrible sounds! Once you start cross patching it with other modules such as DFAM it starts to get really wild. So inspiring. Sequencer knobs are a little fiddly, especially in +/-5 oct mode, and it would be great to have CV input for the filter controls, but other than that I have no complaints. Sounds incredible through a large system.
