EXPLORING YOUR SUBHARMONICON

PLAYING YOUR SEQUENCE

ADJUSTING THE TIMING
Rotate the TEMPO knob to see how the sequencer and rhythm generator
tempos are affected.
Rhythm Generator 1 is currently producing a division of the master tempo to
drive Sequencer 1, indicated by the illuminated SEQ 1 button. Notice that as
you turn the RHYTHM 1 knob, you are selecting one of 16 discrete steps. These
steps are produced by dividing the tempo by an integer value of 1 through 16.
NOTE: This is the same method (dividing by an integer value of 1 through 16) that is
used for deriving the pitch of a subharmonic oscillator.
CREATING A POLYRHYTHM
As your sequence continues to play, press the SEQ 1 button associated with
Rhythm Generator 2. You are now using the output of two rhythm generators
to drive Sequencer 1, creating a polyrhythm. As you rotate the RHYTHM 2 knob
further from and closer to the RHYTHM 1 knob position, you can hear how the
complexity of this polyrhythm changes.
TIP: As you are trying new polyrhythm settings, you can use the RESET button to
instantly set the sequencer(s) and the rhythm generators to their initial starting
position, inviting you to explore how the polyrhythm unfolds and cycles back.
(Continued)
Press the blinking EG button so that it remains lit. This
releases the envelope generators from their held state, so
that each step of the sequencer will now trigger the EGs.
Now, press the PLAY button. Your sequence will begin
to play.
