The Elektron Analog 4 offers a suboscillator turned down a fifth (or maybe i= t=E2=80=99s down an octave + fifth). It=E2=80=99s effectively frequency/1.5 o= r /3, right?

The circuitry needed to produce a s= quare wave that is one octave below its input is very small and cheap. So ch= eap that adding the entire circuit again to produce two octaves down is quit= e easy. >=20 > 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 t= hen you start getting to the complexity of a full oscillator. By the time yo= u make it completely tunable, you no longer have a sub osc, but a complete o= sc - perhaps with sync input. >=20 > Unless I=E2=80=99m missing something, you won=E2=80=99t find a sub osc on a= ny synth that is tunable. Maybe it could provide -3/-4 octaves, but not arbi= trary intervals. It simply has a different name at that point. >=20 > Brian >=20 >=20 >> 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 >=20
