This is a really interesting analog poly synth announced at Superbooth this year. 6 voice, each voice seems to have a BBD resonator for karplus-strong and other sounds. Full multitimbrality with individual outputs as well!
He says in the video without VAT price is around 1950 (assumed Euro).
Sounds very interesting, I could see this working out really well in a mix. Love seeing resonator-based architectures. Iām not familiar with Morphor but I think this is one of the most interesting things Iāve seen from SB25.

So like Frap Tools they bring along their Eurorack expertise to system level. Frap so far is including the keyboard with it, eight voice bi-timbral, with their Magnolia. Both are analog, with slightly unusual voice architectures.
Good to see this has both MPE and poly-aftertouch interfaces. The separate outputs would be nice in particular if you set it up completely multitimbral, but less essential otherwise.
I put the two pictures above, because i like the look. No screen, or even a number display. 
I am also feeling some of a kindred vibe to the all digital Erica Steampipe, though all three are quite different.

Morphor was to be at the Dutch Modular Fest in Rotterdam today. Pretty sure they would be showing the Echon 6 at the show. Did anyone stop by and see it ? Any reactions.
They are also going to be at Machina Bristronica later this month.
I expect there have been some major improvements made on it. Maybe a release date now too.

From Machina Bristronica 2025 :
This has really come a long way. Analog physical modelling / Karplus Strong is a real challenging synth design, but you can see the pay-offs here too. The designers should be happy.
Another synth that wonāt be all sweet spots, ( like the UDO DMNO and the Hydrasynths ), but that opens it for more options as a result.
The physical design of this is really beautiful.

Not sure if the sound is for me, but I really like the design of this device :).
Ā£2000, ETA March 2026. We will probably be able to test it at Superbooth

So i listened to a section of Sonic Talk 863, where both Ben Wilson ( DivKid ), and Gaz, who both had a chance to see the Echon 6 at Machina Bristronica, expressed their praise for that system.
Gaz was accompanied by Richard Nicol of Pittsburgh Modular, who he said shared his enthusiasm.
Pittsburgh has done gear with BBD delays.

such a genius concept. i love the idea of analog physical modelling with exciters and resonators using bbd circuits

Those sound astonishingly good to me !
Those really exceeds my expectations.

I like the ideas and the practical ideas on the soundcloud, but it has a chopped off high-end lo-fi character that is grating to my ears :\
I think this is the problem: https://youtu.be/qQusmde9qjQ?t=140
The noise sounds awful and lacks any high-end, so it also canāt make higher frequencies of the resonator speak.

Iām kinda torn on the sounds as well. Some are quite compelling, ethereal, brooding, emotional even. Others do seem lacking to me. I donāt think I will be an early adopter of this one but I will keep an eye on it. I dig it conceptually and visually.

i think this is the best sounding synth ive heard in my life. i am completely blown away by not only the concept and execution of this thing (the expressivity, the complex modulation, the polyphonic analog bbd implementation of the exciter and resonant body), but the sound seems so expertly fine-tuned and musically pleasing. something that i find extremely rare in modern synthesis hardware
it also looks gorgeous. the next time i wind up with an extra $3000 in disposable income, imma grab this for sure
im so happy to see euro manufacturers finally putting their skills and more complex synthesis tech into full all-in-one polyphonic analog synthesizers. what an exciting time to be alive. iāve been dreaming of something like this for a long time

yea consider me in the same camp, thing sounds incredible to me, whoevers painstakingly tuned all the parameters like that deserves some praise
Looking forward to seeing more videos of this great machine. Wow.
That āself patchingā on the Diary Of A Beta Tester video is stunningly beautiful.

As long as weāre ācalling all carsā, it would be interesting to hear anyone who can compare experience of the Echon 6 with the Erica Synths Steampipe.
