Morphor’s ECHON 6 is the world’s first polyphonic analogue synth powered by BBD resonatorsMorphor has launched the ECHON 6, a six-voice analogue polysynth built around Bucket-Brigade Delay (BBD) resonators and capable of “acoustic behaviours far beyond the limits of the physical world”.
Billed as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD resonators, the ECHON 6 brings the principles of modal synthesis into the analogue domain. Each of its six voices features a discrete BBD delay-line resonator that tracks the keyboard, producing organic overtones and complex harmonic depth.

Allowing you 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.
The synth’s Exciter section blends analogue VCO waveforms, external audio, and noise sources – from continuous analogue white to sample-and-hold textures – shaped by a loopable ADSR envelope with onset delay. Each Exciter output is fed into its own BBD resonator, each of which consists of a pitched delay-feedback network with analogue low-pass filters in both input and feedback paths, enabling dynamic control over tone, texture, and decay.

Rooted in Morphor’s modular design philosophy, the ECHON 6 also features a 9×32 modulation matrix that links the envelope, modwheel, LFOs, velocity, aftertouch, and key tracking to nearly any destination. Modulation depth can be assigned instantly by holding a source key and adjusting the target parameter, while dedicated buttons let users mute, invert, or max out modulation for fast, expressive sound design.
With six stereo outputs, full MIDI support, and a rugged aluminium chassis that can sit on a desktop, 19-inch rack, or VESA mount, the ECHON 6 is designed for both studio and stage performance. There are no screens or menus as well – just one-knob-per-function control for total immediacy.
 
The Morphor ECHON 6 is priced at $2999,99 / €2,295 (including VAT) and ships in February 2026, with a limited first batch of 500 units.
