1. Introduction

Module A-113 (Subharmonic Generator) is an addi-
tional sound source that derives four independend
so-called Subharmonics from an incoming pulse si-
gnal. The module represents the sound generation
core of the Mixtur-Trautonium introduced by Oskar
Sala
(ref. chapter 6).

Subharmonic means in this context a sawtooth wave
whose frequency is derived from a master frequency.
The master frequency is divided by an integer 1...24 to
obtain the subharmonic. The subharmonics are avai-
lable as 4 single outputs as well as mix output with
adjustable level for each subharmonic.

The integer divisor for each subharmonic is set with
up/down buttons. The current divisors are displayed
with four 2-digit LED displays.

The combination of 4 divisors is called mixture. 4
mixtures form a preset. 50 presets can be stored and
called up within the module.

Two gate inputs are available to switch between the
4 mixtures within one preset (controlled by any gate
signals, e.g. from foot controllers).

Attention ! The A-113 module requires an additional
+5V power supply with 100mA (e.g. the separate +5V
power supply or the +5V low-cost adapter)
