Many synthesists are likely familiar with the [overtone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)) (or harmonic) series, or the collection of all frequencies that are integer *multiples* of a fundamental frequency. For a fundamental frequency of `100Hz`, this would be `100Hz, 200Hz, 300Hz, 400Hz, ...` The increases in frequency correspond to moving up an octave, followed by moving up a fifth, then up a fourth, then a third, and so on. Common synthesis waveforms (such as triangle, saw, ramp, square) can be created (or represented) by adding sine waves from a harmonic series with various amplitudes.

The undertone (or subharmonic) series is created by *dividing* the fundamental frequency by integers, rather than multiplying it. For a given frequency `f`, the undertone series would be all frequencies `f/n`, where `n` is an integer. For example at `100Hz`, the undertone series would be `50Hz, 33Hz, 25Hz, 10Hz, ...` The intervals correspond to moving down an octave, followed by moving down a fifth, then down by a fourth, and so on.

MANGROVE can create the undertone series by setting the impulse duration to exceed the period of the oscillator core. Begin by setting *FORMANT* to noon and *BARREL* to minimum (CW) (indicated on the panel by *utone*, a helpful reminder for when you want to create the undertone series!). Set *AIR* to noon, switch to *constant wave*, and monitor the *FORMANT* output. The output should be a ramp wave - every time the impulse is triggered by the oscillator core, it ramps slowly to its maximum and then falls immediately to its minimum before being retriggered.
