Also, posted this over in the modular thread, but I'll repost here. As per the standard release process, there are so many Subharmonicon videos out now:

Hmm. Watched more demos over lunch, and on the one hand I totally love it, looks incredibly fun. On the other, I'm not sure if it really fits into my setup.

I do see how the sequencer/rhythm section may not fit into any setup as easily, but the VCO/VCF/VCA side could be used with other controllers. It's not quite as exciting in that context, though.
Ya I have the mother 32, and what puts me off is that the core sound of this is, basically the same as that with less flexibility. The sequencing and subharmonics side I think would actually be great for me, but it just sounds like the thing I already have haha. Which is a lovely sound! But... the same?

More or less, just a lot more oscillators available on the Subharmonicon.
The way I see it, since I have other controllers, I would rather have the Subharmonicon since it has a more interesting oscillator layout and has the polyrhythmic sequencer. I've had multiple Mother 32s in the past and I always flipped them because they don't really do anything truely special in my opinion.
Yeah I can understand that. I like the M32 precisely because it doesn't really do anything particularly special lol. It's a very nice classic synth voice with some great extra features like patching. I like the ease of getting what I'm looking for in it, but there's still room for experimentation.
Subharmonicon obviously goes a lot deeper in certain directions with the extra oscillators and different sequencing. I can see the separate uses for both

I wasn't trying to bash the M32 there, but I realized it kind of came off that way. The M32 is also a wonderful synth that sounds amazing; it does the subtractive synth thing very, very well. I just never really got along with it because I always wanted to add more to it. At the very least, I felt like I needed another oscillator to pair it with, which is why I had two of them and a small selection of euro modules for awhile. I can definitely see the separate uses and the pros/cons of both.
Oh no, haha this is all personal preference stuff.
I want another thing (maybe this) for more oscillators to work with it, and I use it plugged into my eurorack half the time. So I am totally in agreement.
