Morphor Introduces Echon 6 Physical Modeling Synthesizer At Superbooth 2025
At Superbooth 2025, held May 8-10 at the FEZ-Berlin, Morphor previewed the Echon 6, a new 6-voice polyphonic synthesizer based on physical modeling synthesis.
The Morphor Echon 6 uses Karplus–Strong synthesis, a type of physical modeling based on passing an impulse through a short delay, and then using feedback to create a sustained signal. The approach can be used for string synthesis, hammered percussive sounds and more.
The Echon 6 voice is implemented using an analog signal path, based on an analog Bucket Brigade Device (BBD).
