Dreadbox TYPHON Analog Monophonic Synthesizer

The TYPHON is USB powered and will play for 60 hours using a separately available 20,000mA portable power bank. There are two 1/4 stereo main outputs, a 1/4 headphone output, and a 1/4 external audio input, which sends audio through the effects section. The included 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O connectors allow you to connect the TYPHON to other hardware MIDI devices, such as a controller, hardware sequencer, or another synthesizer. The TYPHON ships with a USB Cable.

You must have your own USB mains adapter if you wish to connect the provided USB cable to a standard wall outlet.

Benefits

• Analog Circuit including two classic Dreadbox oscillators, a 4-pole low-pass resonant filter, and multiple analog VCAs
• Two envelope generators for the filter and the amp
• Three modulators with four different modes (LFO, EG, Random, Parameter Step Sequencer) and multiple active targets
• All analog parts feature a dedicated direct control on the left front panel
• With the sliders, buttons, and encoder on the right side of the front panel, you can control the amp and filter envelopes, sequencer, modulators, and stereo effects, in order to create and save your desired sounds
• 12 DSP stereo effects (32-bit at 96 kHz) developed by Sinevibes, including distortion, bitcrusher, chorus, ensemble, flanger, delay, and reverb
• 32-note sequencer that can be used to sequence notes in the traditional way or used as a modulation source
• 256 preset memory, with import/export support
• External audio input that can turn this box into the ultimate effects unit
• Full MIDI and CC implementation via MIDI DIN5
• Manage and exchange presets with the freely provided software (download from the Dreadbox website)
• Powered via USB, you can get 60 hours of continuous play with a 20,000mAh power bank
• All aluminum enclosure
• Made in Greece / EU

• Wave: This controls the waveform, amplitude, and routing of the two oscillators. With just a single knob, you can get the most interesting and useful combinations that these oscillators can offer. While rotating the knob, the selected waves fade into the adjacent wave and oscillator settings, instead of just switching abruptly.
• Tune 2: Controls the tuning of the second oscillator.
• Cut Off: Controls the filter’s initial cut off frequency.
• Reson: Controls the amount of filter feedback (Q or resonance).
• EG level: Sets how much the filter ADSR envelope modulates the filter’s cutoff.
• Filter Time: Scales the initial filter ADSR envelope settings from 10 times as slow, up to 6 times as fast.
• Amp Time: Scales the initial amp ADSR envelope settings from 10 times as slow, up to 6 times as fast.
• Volume: Sets the master level. Important to note, that this is a global setting and the only control that cannot be stored in a preset.
• Filter EG and Amp EG Button: Lets you enter the ADSR edit mode. Select the filter or the amp ADSR by pressing the Shift button. Use the sliders to edit the envelope. By pressing it again, will exit the ADSR edit mode.
