ECHON 6 is the World’s first polyphonic synthesiser based around analogue 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, 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, a full analogue signal path and a one-knob-per-function approach, ECHON 6 unites experimental sound design with classic polyphony.
