Morphor ECHON 6 #1 | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"I feel like I'm in synth heaven these days. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new ECHON 6 from Morphor, which is a gorgeous sounding, super unique synth: a 6 voice polyphonic analogue BBD resonator synthesizer. Yep, that's quite the mouth full. In a nutshell it's one part analogue poly synth, one part analogue BBD chip physical modeling synth.

I've been a big fan of physical modeling kind of synths for some time, and Morphor's take on this concept is the most special one I've come across so far. I know this type of synthesis mostly from either quite complex plugins, or Eurorack stuff such as Rings and Surface. Morphor has managed to take this concept into an analogue desktop format and it's super special. In this little sketch I'm exploring quite typical karplus-strong like plucks, but feeding in some sine wave oscillator, having full ADSR control over the the exciter, and having BBD chips as resonators, makes for a super expressive sound.

Apart from its amazing sound, ECHON 6 is also beautifully built. One of the most sturdy, smooth and well built synths I have ever come across. One of its superpowers is that it also has an absolutely amazing and intuitive modulation section, which I'll tell you more about in some following videos (I've been making a lot!). Thanks so much for letting me explore this beauty, Morphor!

ECHON 6: Turning Time Into Sound

video upload by OoraMusic and Morphor

"ECHON 6 is a unique six-voice analog instrument built around bucket brigade delays, where sound is generated through feedback and time itself becomes part of the synthesis process.
In this video, see how exciters, resonators, and controlled feedback interact to create evolving textures, chords, and hypnotic patterns—from delicate atmospheres to raw, atonal sequences.

This is not meant to be a technical demo, but a sonic exploration.

No screens, no shortcuts—just a deep, hands-on approach to shaping sound."

Morphor ECHON 6 BBD Resonator Synth Now Open for Pre-Orders

Morphor's ECHON 6 pre-orders are now open at Perfect Circuit

Press release follows:

Morphor marks upcoming availability of ECHON 6 as world’s first polysynth based around analogue BBD resonators by announcing opening of pre-orders

GHENT, BELGIUM: having twice turned heads and opened ears thanks to show-stealing showcases at SUPERBOOTH25, May 8-10, FEZ-Berlin, Germany and Machina Bristronica 2025, September 27-28, Bristol, UK, Morphor marks upcoming availability of its eagerly-awaited ECHON 6 — being billed as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD (Bucket-Brigade Delay) resonators, building upon the Belgium-based collective of artists, engineers, and musicians with a passion for creative sound experience and radical acoustic ideas’ illustrious Eurorack expertise in that area as its inaugural standalone (rack-mountable) desktop design — by announcing the opening of pre-orders as of October 23…

As an ANALOGUE POLYPHONIC MULTI-TIMBRAL BBD SYNTHESIZER — helpfully highlighted by the on point wording worked tastefully into its fitting front panel design’s execution, ECHON 6 brings the principals of modal synthesis into the analogue domain. Far from reimagining a digital concept with modern analogue circuitry, it readily redefines how resonance and excitation can interact. And as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD resonators, no less, each of its six voices features a discrete BBD RESONATOR that tracks the keyboard, producing organic overtones and complex harmonic depth. Duly allowing its users to excite those resonators in creative ways, ECHON 6 can generate anything from plucked and bowed strings over leads and basses to big pads and evolving soundscapes. Combining comprehensive multi-timbral capabilities, a 9 x 32 modulation matrix, a full analogue signal path, and a one-knob-per-function approach, ECHON 6 ultimately unites experimental sound design with classic polyphony. Indeed, its architecture invites exploration at every stage of that analogue signal path.

I like the idea of bringing esoteric modules to destop and stand along synth designs. There have been systems built around eurorack modules in the past, but I'm hoping we might start seeing more of this in the future. This with a built-in keyboard would be a dream to explore while kicking back in the recliner.

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Morphor - Echo BBD Delay Module

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Sonic State had the chance to chat with Matthew from Morphor and get an exclusive look at the latest products from the company. The highlight of the show was the unveiling of their new Echo module, a multi-tap delay featuring four BBDs for rich and versatile sound manipulation. The module offers a range of controls including tap tempo, quantized delay, panning modes, and CV-able parameters, making it a must-have for modular enthusiasts looking to experiment with complex rhythmic patterns and textures.

In addition to the Echo, Matthew also showcased their existing range of modules such as the Plectrum and essential dual modules designed to complement and expand the functionality of their systems.

Interstate 210 (Foothill Freeway): Pasadena to Newhall

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We travel California Interest 210 west and north from Pasadena to its western terminus with I-5 just south of Newhall (Santa Clarita). We start on the California 710 stub freeway (the northernmost end of the unconstructed I-710 through Alhambra and Pasadena), which feeds in into I-210 west through Pasadena, the town of La Canada Flintridge, and the northernmost sections of Los Angeles terminating at I-5 just before it's junction with California Highway 14. This scenic route passes through the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, and we also pass California Highway 2 and Highway 118 along the way.

Pinging the VCF - 90 Second Patch Tips

video upload by Morphor

"The Morphor VCF is pingable! Sending short triggers or gates to the input and setting up the cut-off frequency and resonance just right can create some really awesome oscillations. Because our VCF is mutli-mode, you can layer the the Low Pass and High Pass outputs for interesting interactions. Adding modulations to the cut-off via it's CV input can enhance the sound even more. Happy Morphing!

00:08 Short triggers
00:09 Adjust the resonance for sustain
00:16 Add a short envelope to reduce trigger lengths
00:22 Add the High Pass output for more interactions
00:37 Add modulation to the cut-off CV input
00:57 Add another envelope with VCA for more control of the modulation
01:17 Reduce the LFO level for more subtle modulation
01:27 Happy Morphing!"

Morphor Plectrum: Demo and tutorial of analog Karplus-Strong module

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We explore the Plectrum module from Belgium-based Morphor, and demonstrate all of its features. The Plectrum is an all-analog implementation of the Karplus-Strong algorithm for plucked string sounds. It uses a BBD 'bucket bridge' delay, and a one-pole low-pass filter to create the algorithm's all-important feedback loop. In this demo, we introduce the algorithm and show how the different knobs and CV sources affect aspects of the sound. We also try out the advanced 'loop extender' feature that allows us to add other modules into the feedback loop of the Karplus-Strong system.

NAMM 2024 - Morphor - Plectrum

video upload by sonicstate

"Sonic State caught up with Eli from Morphor Radical Acoustics at NAMM 2024 to delve into their intriguing range of Bucket Brigade Delay (BBD) modules. Eli introduces the Plectrum, Morphor's second version of the AP1, highlighting its fully analog design using a 124-stage Bucket Brigade Delay chip. The new version features CV-controlled feedback, allowing users to manipulate the length of the notes even up to self-oscillation, providing a wide range of sounds from subtle to extreme.

Continuing to use BBD modules, Morphor have created an Ensemble with eight-voices in stereo that serve as a powerful chorus on steroids. Eli also unveils three new essential modules, including a VCO, a VCA with an inverted ADSR envelope, and a versatile LFO all available soon.

Plectrum Price: 200 USD
Ensemble Price: 350 USD
