In this video we explore the musical capabilities of the E-RM Polygogo, a digital stereo oscillator powered by Polygonal Synthesis – a groundbreaking technique based on two-dimensional shaping of sine waves. By changing the number of vertices (Order) and their displacement (Teeth), the fundamental tone and harmonic structure are created. Rotational modulation (Roll) moves the sound across the stereo field or acts as vibrato, while the internal linear FM operator enriches the spectrum. An analog overflow stage (Fold) at the output adds grit and can act as a wave crusher.

With its one knob – one function interface, Polygogo is equally suited for live performance and detailed sound design. All parameters are directly accessible via sliders, and every one of them can be modulated through CV inputs – inviting constant play and experimentation.

From lush drones and massive basses to textures that feel almost acoustic, the Polygogo offers a wide and ever-evolving sonic palette.

Over the last few months, Doepfer has been recording lots of videos featuring their BBD and A-188-9 Highspeed VCO for their Instagram channel. They have just uploaded a compilation of these videos to YouTube.

This combination is designed for Karplus-Strong synthesis, producing string-like sounds, but it can also produce more extreme sounds, as can be heard in some of the examples.

For each of our brands, you’ll now find a dedicated playlist on our Stromkult Youtube channel. These feature videos where the manufacturers present their synthesizers and Eurorack modules in detail – from functional overviews to creative applications.

The videos give you a direct insight into the instruments, highlight their unique features, and help you get to know our products even better.
