Introducing the Serge MEDUSA Subharmonic Oscillator for Eurorack
Friday November 1, 2024. 06:01 PM , from Gearslutz
Frankfurt, 1 November 2024 — Serge Modular proudly announces the launch of the Serge Medusa Subharmonic Oscillator for the Eurorack modular synthesizer format. This groundbreaking module designed by Serge Tcherepnin brings orchestral clusters, coveted undertones and rich harmonic complexity to the Eurorack format. A Revolution in Sound Design The Subharmonic Oscillator is one of Serge’s latest inventions and one of his most extraordinary designs. 7 accurate analog VCOs tied at the waist—in unison, yet their frequencies can open like a fan, creating complex clusters. Each voice generates a pulse wave. It is temperature compensated and follows exceptional 1V/Octave tracking. In addition, each voice provides (voltage controlled) pulse width modulation or subharmonic division as well as an individual output. By producing mathematically related lower frequencies, it enables the creation of complex and evolving soundscapes that were previously difficult to achieve within the Eurorack environment. The precision of these voices in combination with a global Spread control and various FM inputs opens an enormous sonic range from massive unisono sounds to dissonant, orchestra-style textures. The ODD and EVEN outputs enable the use as a stereo oscillator. Key Features:Original Serge 2023 design 100% analog Seven simultaneous subharmonic VCOs with individual Outputs, PWM and variable divisions Wide Range Frequency Control: Precisely dial in frequencies from deep bass to soaring highs, all synchronized to the master oscillator. Voltage-Controlled Parameters: Extensive CV inputs allow for modulation of pulse width and frequency divisions, enabling expressive performance potential. Odd and Even outputs for independent processing / Stereo use. Global Spread Control (manual and VC) Linear and Exponential FM Eurorack format (3U), 42 hp Power consumption: 220mA @ +12V, 200mA @ -12V Skiff-friendly: depth < 25mm (1") “This is my version of a cluster generator. Clusters are part of the contemporary music arsenal of effects. The Subharmonic Oscillator has a total, tracking, V/octave range that is the same as all our VCOs, however, it outputs only pulse waves. Pulse-width operates from instantaneous -> square wave > 1st sub-harmonic > 2nd sub-harmonic...> Nth sub-harmonic. You guessed it, this is one VCO that sounds like a symphony orchestra playing Atmosphères by György Ligeti.” Serge Tcherepnin Unmatched Versatility Designed for both traditional musicians and experimental artists, the Serge Subharmonic Oscillator excels in a variety of applications:Bass Enhancement: Generate powerful sub-bass frequencies to add weight to your mixes. Polyphonic Textures: Create rich, chord-like structures from a single note input. Rhythmic Modulation: Utilize subharmonics to produce complex rhythmic patterns and sequences. Sound Exploration: Dive into uncharted sonic territories with modulations and cross-patching. Availability The Serge Subharmonic Oscillator will be available starting November 1st, 2024 through Serge Modular / Random*Source and authorized dealers worldwide.
