Say „Morphor" and you think analog string sound with no strings actually involved — the whole „instrument" lives inside BBD circuits, not vibrating steel. This is a young Belgian company from Ghent, operating under the name „Radical Acoustics" — a collective of engineers, musicians, and artists more interested in unusual, „radical" sonic ideas than in chasing Eurorack market trends. Morphor debuted in 2022 with a successful Kickstarter campaign, launching its first module, the AP-1 (Analogue Plectrum), a fully analog string-synthesis module built around BBD circuitry. The team leans on its parent company, ENT Studios, which lets it handle production and R&D for both electronics and acoustics entirely in-house.
Before tackling more complex designs, Morphor deliberately „warmed up" on simpler utility modules (a buffered mult, a dual VCA, a dual ADSR) to refine its manufacturing process within the Eurorack format. That groundwork paid off in advanced BBD-based effects like the eight-voice Ensemble chorus and the quad-tap stereo Echo delay. Their most ambitious project to date — the Echon 6, a digitally controlled, multitimbral analog resonator synthesizer built around BBD-based physical modeling — only reached its first retailers in 2026, after being previewed at the Superbooth trade show.
At Wired Tunes we're following Morphor as one of the more interesting niche Eurorack manufacturers of recent years — from basic utility building blocks to unique resonator synths you won't find at the bigger, mass-market brands. It's the choice for anyone chasing a less obvious, „alive" analog sound and wanting something genuinely rare in their system.
