You should be more dis-Crete with your joke attempts.

Iā€™ve lost count of the youtube comments I have seen that stated a synth is ā€œBOC in a boxā€, because the reviewer did a little pitch modulation during their review.

jealousy is for the children (just like Wu Tang)

Unfortunately I donā€™t have a strong enough power bank to serenade it yet, but hereā€™s the Typhon with a cactus earlier.

More cactus; well, aloe...

ā€¦as has been pointed out.

Not very petite though, nor quite a house plant.

The value you get for your money here is crazy.

That looks like an aloe plant of some sort. I donā€™t usually think of those as cacti, but definitely in the succulent world. These photos are literally of the Typhon in the wild!

Youā€™re quite right, of course. I donā€™t actually have any cacti handy, but I can take the Typhon to some growing wild not too far away at some point.

Still available anywhere? Any leads appreciated :male_detective:

Has the first batch from Thomann already gone out? Should I stop checking for B-stock every 5 minutes :upside_down_face:

There will be used ones here on the boards in about a week Iā€™m guessingā€¦

Would be cool if someone did a comparison between the Typhon + Keystep and a Korg Monologue paired with an NTS-1. Iā€™m thinking that the Korg combo offers more for less money, although the Typhon is pretty neat. Keystep included with the Typhon for parity.

Mine arrived on Monday but Iā€™m exercising some delayed gratification and not unboxing until my birthday in a couple of weeks. By the sounds of Nick Battā€™s review, I wonā€™t be disappointed. Should make a great companion for the DT.

Itā€™d cost more
Need more plugs
Be more annoying
Not have so much midi cc control on synth / fx

But you would have a keyboard.

A Typhon Keys with CV i/o would be niceā€¦

Would it cost more? I see people selling the Monologue for less than $200 USD and the NTS-1 is only $100 new, and I saw one on the board here a few days ago for $80. I think you could have the entire package for $100 less than the Typhon actually, and if you include a Keystep for parity, over $200 less than the Typhon. As for being more annoying, I think the Typhon looks pretty hideous to edit and the Monologue is knob per function, but the NTS-1 is kind of annoying to edit, so maybe they are even.

It definitely needs more plugs though, which is pretty annoying! Anyway, just my thoughts. They seem like a good comparison since the Monologue/NTS combo turns into a three oscillator synth with digital effects, and Sinevibes has made many effects which can be loaded onto the NTS-1.
