Synth Anatomy dives deep into the Morphor Echo at SynthFest France 2025. This analog quad tap BBD stereo delay promises warm, musical modulations that stand out among digital competitors. Get ready for a journey through chaos, stereo spreads, and a taste of Eurorack magic.

Meet the Morphor Echo
At the bustling SynthFest France 2025, synthanatomy takes us straight to the heart of the action with the Morphor Echo. Boris introduces this latest delight: an analog quad tap BBD stereo delay. With features that scream pure analog goodness, it hosts four taps, with each BBD in series. These taps aren’t just for show, as their outputs can be routed in ways that tickle the sonic senses. Boris explains the series setup of the BBDs, emphasising its potential for creative patching.

"It's the Echo, the analog Echo, it's a 100% analog BBD based Echo, so 4 taps, 4 69 or 96 BBDs in series."

Stereo Spread Like Butter

The Morphor Echo doesn’t just offer your run-of-the-mill stereo output; it spices things up with ping pong, traverse, and chaotic spread options. This stereo spread, controlled via a spread knob, is where the magic unleashes. Boris dives deeper, revealing that all parameters are CV controllable, including the intriguing save on extra CVs and VCAs. This level of control screams versatility for any modular setup, and as Boris deftly switches between stereo modes, the potential of modulated madness becomes apparent. In a world where digital delays often lack warmth, Boris makes a compelling case for the analog goodness of Morphor, hinting at the warm, musical touch it brings to modulations.
Feedback Frenzy
Diving deeper into the feedback path, Morphor Echo offers control like no other. Boasting a pre-clipping indicator, users can tread carefully to avoid the unwanted distortion. Yet, for the brave souls, the module can indeed clip, inviting creative adventurers to push the boundaries. Input clipping indicators and flexible feedback routing enhance control, ensuring that the sonic blast remains within desired limits. With a separate feedback in, you’ve got the choice to manipulate the feedback path to taste, playing not only with polarity but also with the depths of your sonic experimentations.

"So this is an internal connection, but you can connect this whichever way you want with control over the polarity of the feedback."

Tempo Tricks and Filter Modes
Tapped tempos and diverse filtering make this module a jewel of chaos and control. The tap-tempo function synchronises effortlessly with external gear, offering up clock division and multiplication. Boris demonstrates how this flexibility is a boon for performers who crave rhythm and chaos in equal measure. Also, the dual filter modes – bright and dark – are sonically transformative, providing users with an audible palette ranging from crisp to mellow. When longer delay times are needed, these filters adjust the tonal warmth beautifully, ensuring your echoes remain functional and fantastical. The inclusion of sync options further expands its usability, letting composers weave in and out of tempo constraints.
Patchwork Playground

Watch as the Morphor Echo becomes a playground for sonic exploration. Synthanatomy dons the headphones and dives into creating a patch from scratch. Equipped with a four-channel sequencer, triggers are plugged in, letting the Morphor Echo strut its stuff. Highlights include the lively ping pong echo modes and the reversibility of stereo transitions, proving that this module is more than just a delay – it’s a creative powerhouse. Placing chaos modulation centre stage, synthanatomy showcases its full potential with a sequence that may not be the most melodic but is indeed a testament to the Echo’s capabilities.
Ready to Rock the Rack
As the video wraps up, the Morphor Echo stands tall, promising to deliver analogue warmth without hogging rack space. Consuming a modest 20HP, it offers ample room for tech-heads to go wild with their setups. Retailing at 399, with a special SynthFest deal, and being Eurorack ready, synthanatomy assures us its power consumption won’t crash your creations. With promises of new developments at Superbooth, this is just the beginning for Morphor. If you’re looking to inject a bit of delay-driven mischief into your rig, this module is primed for the task.
