A Bucketful of Synthesis
Morphor’s ECHON 6 based around Bucket-Brigade Delay resonators
27 October 2025
Morphor’s upcoming ECHON 6 is being billed as the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around BBD (Bucket-Brigade Delay) resonators. 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. 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.
ECHON 6 is scheduled to ship in early February 2026 with a limited-quantity first batch of units officially arriving on February 16, 2026; pre-orders are open for that first batch with a MSRP of €2,295.00 EUR (including VAT), so interested parties are encouraged to place an order via Morphor resellers and online shops here: https://www.morphor.io/resellers/
