Manufacturer's description
ECHON 6 is the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer based around analogue BBD resonators. 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 these resonators in creative ways, Morphor ECHON 6 will generate anything from plucked and bowed strings over leads and basses to big pads and evolving soundscapes. With comprehensive multi-timbral capabilities, a 9×32 modulation matrix and a full analogue signal path, ECHON 6 unites experimental sound design with classic polyphony.
Exciting exciter
ECHON 6’s exciter section combines fully analogue VCO waveforms with or without external audio, noise sources from continuous analogue white to sample-and-hold shaped by a loopable ADSR envelope with adjustable onset delay. This allows anything from sharp percussive transients to slowly emerging harmonic swells. The nature of the morphing sound controls and the wide range of quantised noise enable complex timbral sculpting even before the sound hits any filters.
Designed for natural resonance
The output of each exciter is fed into its resonator. Each resonator 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. The fine feedback control, polarity selection, panning, and wet/dry mix make every voice a living acoustic space within the stereo field.
Monster modulation matrix
The 9 × 32 modulation matrix links the envelope, LFOs, modwheel, velocity, polyphonic aftertouch, and key tracking to virtually any destination parameter. Global modulation attenuverters offer precise control over depth and polarity. Modulation depth is easily assigned by holding a modulation source key and adjusting the target parameter. Dedicated buttons allow you to mute, invert, or set modulation to maximum depth instantly. This innovative approach off on-the-fly assignments and direct interaction with your patch enables full modularity and stimulates exploration.
Built for studio and stage
Its voice grouping and unison modes push ECHON 6 beyond the traditional polyphonic configuration into layered, multi-timbral and personally optimised setups. With its six independent stereo voice outputs, full MIDI control, and a rugged aluminum enclosure ready for tabletop, 19″ rack, or VESA mounting, ECHON 6 is built for both stage and studio. It is a fully tactile instrument — no display, no distractions — inviting musicians to play, perform, and explore sound through pure hands-on control.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
