Yiannis has been pretty lit on FB about the new features – he kind of alluded to it being done today, or Monday.
I feel like at least 40% of my musicianship nowadays is waiting for firmwares to drop – that’s why I just bought a new bass 
But I’m with you! This thing holds so much promise.
I’ve enjoyed the hell out of it, even on its own in its current state right now. It just sounds huge and lush, and it’s so easy to just sit back and play with it. The only thing holding me back from using it more is the clock. I’d love to get it synced up with the Digitakt. That’s going to be so fun!
I do love to get software/firmware updates, but I typically am not waiting for a feature like this.
It’s such a cool little synth though, that I’m in “extra-patient” mode. Sort of.
That’s also why I’m into analog modulars as well. No firmware. Just plug things in. 
On that same FB thread, I asked Yiannis what the tiered release date plan might be for the firmware, editor and second run of Typhons. He did say that the editor would be released after the firmware, but he hasn’t spoken about the release date for the second run, and definitely hasn’t said whether the editor or the hardware will come first.
If the editor comes last, then perhaps his plan is to include the new firmware with the new machines. That might have something to do with his loose but stated goal: to finish the firmware in a matter of days.
It just sounds huge and lush, and it’s so easy to just sit back and play with it.
exactly my thinking!
…and about the possible USB noise, I fixed the issue with the highly shielded audio USB cable from DJ TechTools. Well worth the price.
I haven’t had any USB issues, but I started off with a pretty large power box, and the cable has a big ferrite bead at both ends. (Just happened to be the one I grabbed…)
Dreadbox has updated the details on their site about the forthcoming firmware (publishing between Mon and Wed this week)

3. Bug Fixes
– Fixed a bug , when setting a BPM above 133 , the clock was drifting
– Fixed a bug that caused heavy latency to the midi input (around 15ms)
They’ve also added what is coming before the end of the year (in my browsers this is difficult to unfold, some bad CSS at play. So I use Safari Develop mode to see the page source:
Controlling, handling and MIDI connections
Midi over USB
Midi Program change
Preset handling and exchange software tool v1.0
Modulators
New modulation targets
A way to set a modulator Level (or multiple levels) as a target
Also, it’s been clarified on FB that you will need either Mojave or Windows 10 to perform the firmware update with their updater tool.
Mac users without Mojave might want to consider a bootcamp solution.
Yes! Excited. Looks like they fixed everything people have been reporting. Very happy to see the MIDI latency fix. Their last update worked for me on Catalina so hopefully that’s the case here.
I had to use a real Windows 10 installation rather than a virtual machine, so I won’t make the same error ext time. Can’t wait!
Ouch. My good old 2011 MacBook Pro is officially too old. Damn I haven’t see that coming.
Huh, bummer that we don’t get midi over USB yet, but I’m glad it’s coming. How reliable have their release schedules been in the past?
Just in time when i pre-ordered it on Thomman
Likewise. V. Curious to see if it shows up already-updated or not. (I’m guessing no, since they’re claiming it’ll ship this week)
Anyone have the new CC list? It doesn’t seem to be in the docs for the update.
isn’t there a CC list in the setup menu, or is that not updated with the firmware?
First impressions of the new FX - having the digital HPF always available on FX1 is a smart move and makes it usable everywhere - excellent. The phaser and cloud effects take things even further out, and the choice of reverbs is nifty too - this is only after a short play around with existing presets that I saved from firmware 1.1, but it’s going to be a lot of fun. oh, and being able to set knobs and sliders to catch values is already really nice - and it’s handy that the functionality can be switched back as well if wanted. Not had a chance to check MIDI clocking as yet, but looking forward to that working.
There’s no new version on the Dreadbox website, but hopefully they will include the CC list in the v2.0 manual as and when it’s uploaded. There is a list in the Settings menu of the Typhon itself:

So there’s plenty of control options for external devices there.
There is, but I’m still waiting on my hardware to ship. 
Oh wow, this has exceeded my expectations on the FX side.
When I heard the digital HPF with resonance was coming to FX1, I imagined it would be one of many FX1 options.
It’s default on FX1 and all the other FX1 overdrive options are in ADDITION to it.
How lovely to get some HPF action with the foldback distortion at the same time.
This has again got me reaching for sounds to pipe through the external input, never mind the synth itself - it’s an even more amazing FX box now, and a phenomenal synth; the two together are astounding.
and while I love that, there are still issues with BPM drifting (externally clocked over MIDI). (sad trombone)
One of the devs says he is on it, and will get a patch update out ASAP (marginally happier trombone?)
