Dreadbox Typhon

Cute idea, NTS-1 as a 3rd oscillator for Typhon:

DJ Tech Tools Chroma Caps
“slim encoder”

A little taller height than OG plastic knob, stands off the face the same as OG, but wider and rubberized. I like it.

Got a second one for my MOTU UltraLite MK4’s volume encoder, as well.

I would love to see the actual values of the knobs on the screen when you tweak them! That would be great!

And if you decide to implement the idea of switching envelope control when tweaking the amp/filter time knob, please make this an option in the menu like suggested, as I love the ability to tweak the time knob of the amp knob while tweaking the filter envelope simultaneously

Is anyone slightly surprised this box doesn’t have a couple of CV ins?

I look forward to maybe getting one, potentially this summer, for my birthday.

Sound character wise are there any classic synths anyone would say the Typhon is similar to? Pro 1? Moog? SH-101? Or is it very much its own thing?

AdamJay · February 21, 2021, 7:27pm

FYI, looks like these are well in stock in the USA now.
GC/Sweetwater/Kraft/DetroitModular/PerfectCircuit/Amazon

This, I’d say. And it is interesting, because it has a lot of the same characteristics as other synths. But in its own flavor.

It can sound really big! But its not a Moog.
It can sound really smooth with a bit of growl, but it’s not a Sequential or a Roland.
It sounds like a Dreadbox. Big and bold, but doesn’t have to dominate the mix.

Curious if anyone has used their Typhon with a wireless MIDI/Bluetooth MIDI interface, like the Yamaha one. Do the Typhon MIDI jacks power it?

Thanks!

They look like the old Rean P400 & P401 series

With line P400: reanknobs: Push-Fit Control Knobs 2 and 3 colors
Without line P401: reanknobs: Push-Fit Encoders

I love them so much, but they are out of production since years.
I need to ask a friend of mine, that runs a plastic print factory, if it’s possible to make them.

D-shaft, soft rubber, I’ve a bunch jealously guarded.

Yes it does, works with both my Bluetooth adapters, Yamaha and CME Widi master.

I’m gonna push my request again for locking to musical scales in the sequencer. Pretty please.

Is there any control for the first wave fm wave combination?
Also is it possible to mix the level of the oscilators?
Thanks!

LyingDalai · February 25, 2021, 3:10pm

The middle knob is the only way to do this AFAICT.
As it is a macro knob, it is not a way to “fine mix” the oscillators volume, though.

I have checked the modulation targets but there doesn’t seem to be such a target as OSC X volume level.

Synthtastic · February 25, 2021, 3:12pm

If the sliders could have a mode for mixing the oscillators / wave shapes like on the SH-101, that would be amazing.

AdamJay · February 25, 2021, 3:13pm

And part of the charm, IMO.

shinobi · February 25, 2021, 4:28pm

What about the parameters for fm wave combination from osc. Are there any?

sezare56 · February 25, 2021, 8:43pm

Osc 2 pitch, Wave knob…

variableautomata · February 26, 2021, 1:29am

I’ll throw in that I’d love to have individual oscillator level as a mod target too

Finally got mine yesterday! Spent 2 hours on the couch last night just feeding it arpeggios from the keystep and twisting knobs, this thing is a beast!
