The Tiptop Resonator brings the lush, organic tone-shaping power of the legendary 1975 Polymoog resonator into the Eurorack world—with modern enhancements and full voltage control. Faithfully recreated from one of the most iconic analog designs ever made, the Resonator adds warmth, depth, and harmonic motion to any signal, transforming ordinary sounds into shimmering, resonant textures.
Classic Design, Modern Control
At its core, the Resonator uses three parallel band filters—each with its own Frequency, Gain, and Emphasis controls-to accentuate specific frequencies and sculpt harmonically rich tones. Unlike the original Polymoog circuit, every parameter here can be voltage controlled, unlocking evolving, animated resonances impossible with the vintage design. Each filter includes selectable frequency ranges, allowing precise tuning across the spectrum.
Deep Tone Shaping and Performance Flexibility
Five total gain stages—from input to output-offer complete control over levels and headroom, letting you explore subtle coloration or push into rich analog saturation without unwanted clipping. The integrated limiter keeps high feedback settings musical and under control, while the Bypass switch allows instant comparison between processed and dry signals.
Pure Analog Sound
Built with an entirely analog signal path, the Resonator avoids any digital components or LED circuitry that could introduce noise into the ground plane. The result is pristine, noise-free operation and a smooth, immersive analog sound ideal for pads, percussion, samples, or even full mixes. Despite its extensive control layout, the Resonator fits neatly into just 16HP of rack space-making it an elegant and versatile addition to any modular setup.
