+1 for a suboscillator.

I recommend the design from the SH101, which gives one or two octaves down, and gives you a choice of square or 25% pulse wave too. It's based on a 4013 dual bistable, IIRC - simple and cheap.

HTH,
Tom

Dug up a power supply, dual VCA, and State variable VCF that I had assembled long time ago and soldered up an oscillator on perfboard from the MFOS Soundlab schematics.
