A module that creates a new tone one or two octaves below the fundamental harmonic – the “pitch” – of the sound coming into it, to emphasize the bass. (Subharmonics are discussed in detail elsewhere in this glossary.) This tone is usually a square wave, although some clever modules may create something more sine-like, or that more closely resembles the original waveform.
