Playing around with the Verbos 262v
![]()
I'm surprised how many vactrols it uses.

I'll do a proper recording one of these days.
It started me wondering how many other "harmonic" related modules there are out there.
In Euro I can only find The Verbos Harmonic Oscillator and his Bark Filter.
Both look related to the Buchla 148, 262v and the 296/295/294 filters.
The other euro modules that I think can be added to this list are the Make Noise Telharmonic and Make Noise Echophon.
Do let me know if you know of any other modules that you think fall into this category.

The Echophon's depth control of the pitch shifter can be used to roughly approximate the harmonic series of the imputed audio .. these are the frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental. To do this the large black pitch control knob must be set to max.
Every musical sound has these harmonics.A sine wave has only the fundamental or first harmonic, a saw tooth contains all harmonics in inverse proportion to their number. A square wave has all the odd harmonics in the same ratio, etc etc.
So with the Echophon, we can for example, just use a sine wave which has only the fundamental harmonic, and then add more harmonics by turning the depth control knob (the blue one).
Maybe this is use of pitch shifting modules to obtain spectral shifting is worth further investigation.
I understand that shifting the pitch of signal components retains their harmonic relationships.
This brings up the topic of additive vs subtractive synthesis.
and begs the question why are there so few Synth modules that do additive synthesis?

Apologies for the poor sound on this instagram video, but it does sound really amazing.
