In this module review, we delve into the Blue Lantern Modules Subharmonic Generator. This 4hp eurorack module is designed to be a VCO add-on or helper, allowing you to mix in four divided sub harmonics. By patching an original wave from your VCO and a saw, square, triangle, or sine wave into the input jack and connecting the output jack to a mixer module, you can create a blend of harmonics with incredible fatness. With no latency or complex digital circuitry involved, the Subharmonic Generator utilizes the CD4013 Flip Flop IC for its four-divider breakdown. The module's wide frequency spectrum capabilities are showcased through oscilloscope pictures, demonstrating the 7th note down, 7th note one octave down, one octave down, and two octaves down settings on the four knobs. This unrivaled sonic experience comes at an unbelievably affordable price of just $68.50.
