- This first of three movies on the Doepfer A-113 Subharmonic Generator goes over its basic connections and operation, then dives into using it as a suboctave divider that takes a pulse wave in and outputs a modified sawtooth wave with user-selectable /1 to /24 divisions.

🙀nice, I’ve been interested in this for some time. I think it’s cool that Dieter created his tribute to this system👍
this pwm thing is a nice catch!
Thanks for this! I have the Blue Lantern sub harmonic generator. You can get some gnarly bass tones using sub harmonics, but you’re right ; it’s more for colourations, not really pitch shifting.
I bet in combination with the new QPAS by MakeNoise, this will get more attention. Have QPAS ordered, I'm sure these will pair great, since I'm already a fan of the A-113 and what it can produce. This harmonically rich output will be great to pair with QPAS.
Btw. a cool way to get interesting bits out of the A-113 is to process the mix out one way and route some single outs another way to get not only timbral variations from the same note (of the source vco), but also harmonical side paths which also can be rhythmically independent. Great fun!
Any chance to have parts 2 and 3 in the near future? That'd be great. Congrats on your channel.
This is one of the modules I cover in the extended version of my Eurorack Expansion course: courses.learningmodular.com/courses/ee-t3
nice! I thought that using sequential switches is only way to do subharmonic generator (square waves only)
No better sound than a sawtooth wave! 😎
Cool! I think that's something you can do with Maths also. Interesting design on that module, I'm a little surprised you can't sequence the subharmonics.
Why? A gigantic module with fixed outputs without voltage control over them that other modules do in 1/2 the hp or less--yep, sounds like Doepfer.
@@NickHchaos You forgot to mention that it's about 3 times deeper behind the panel than a typical module also. Still, you can't deny that it's smaller than a Trautonium.
Robert: You can kinda do divisions with Maths (or the Serge DUSG), but it's different. You can sequence the subharmonics; it has a large number of presets, plus, the footswitch input changes between variations of divisions.
@@NickHchaos This module was designed to replicate part of the function of the Mixtur Trautonium, which has level controls rather than VC: www.doepfer.de/traut/traut_e.htm
@@NickHchaos Name another manufacturer that does dedicated trautonium modules, then come back to me. This is pretty much an exact replica of a mixtur trautonium subharmonic section.
Does this module do harmonics as well as subharmonics? Also I saw some decimal divisions on the display. Does that mean divisions less than 2 are possible?
Just whole-integer divisions or subharmonics; no multiplications or higher harmonics. That said, it produces a sawtooth-like waveform instead of a sine wave, so even the "sub" harmonics have higher harmonics of their own, resulting in the sound also getting brighter.
