Each of its six voices features a discrete BBD delay-line resonator that tracks the keyboard, producing organic overtones and complex harmonic depth.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The synth\u2019s Exciter section blends analogue VCO waveforms, external audio, and noise sources \u2013 from continuous analogue white to sample-and-hold textures \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-195612\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Morphor-ECHON-6@2000x1500-1.jpg\" alt=\"Morphor ECHON 6\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\"  \/>Credit: Morphor<\/p>\n<p>Rooted in Morphor\u2019s modular design philosophy, the ECHON 6 also features a 9\u00d732 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.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013 just one-knob-per-function control for total immediacy.<\/p>\n<p>The Morphor ECHON 6 is priced at $2999,99 \/ \u20ac2,295 (including VAT) and ships in February 2026, with a limited first batch of 500 units.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-order yours today via Morphor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/echon6.com\/?utm_campaign=Morphor%20marks%20upcoming%20availabil&amp;utm_term=https:\/\/echon6.com\/&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=directmailmac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">website<\/a> and authorised resellers.<\/p>\n<p>Get the MusicTech newsletter<\/p>\n<p class=\" mb-4 max-w-xl\">Get the latest news, reviews and tutorials to your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Morphor has launched the ECHON 6, a six-voice analogue polysynth built around Bucket-Brigade Delay (BBD) resonators and capable&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,146344,105],"class_list":["post-246259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-hard-synths","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
