This is the nature of a sub oscillator. The circuitry needed to produce = a square wave that is one octave below its input is very small and = cheap. So cheap that adding the entire circuit again to produce two = octaves down is quite easy. The drawback is that the shape is square and the pitch is not = independent. The shape can be altered with filtering or other additional = circuitry, but then you start getting to the complexity of a full = oscillator. By the time you make it completely tunable, you no longer = have a sub osc, but a complete osc - perhaps with sync input. Unless I=E2=80=99m missing something, you won=E2=80=99t find a sub osc = on any synth that is tunable. Maybe it could provide -3/-4 octaves, but = not arbitrary intervals. It simply has a different name at that point. Brian On Feb 2, 2018, at 8:07 AM, Justin Maxwell <xxx@xxxxxxx.xxx> wrote: > The Avalon has a sub osc but it isn't tuneable beyond a -1/-2 oct = toggle
