Ordered the limited edition today - hoping for it to be the one mono synth in my setup and limit need for external effects when pairing with a Digitakt or MNM
Just want to chime in and say how much I love the Typhon, which Iāve had for 5 months or so. I have owned a Minitaur and a4 previously and personally prefer the raw sound of the Typhon than both of these. Add in the sinevibes effects and its properly amazing, and needs little post processing (unlike the Moog). I loved my A4 but donāt really miss it since I got the Typhon, simply due to the additional monosynth ground it can cover. Regardless of its cost, itās a genuinely brilliant synth.
damn guys, I should stop reading this thread
Havenāt you bought one yet ⦠come on ⦠join the gang ( cult )
Try it, youāll like it
Edit: this is exactly how I started smoking
Iām not sure why I havenāt bought this yet. So many cool things about it and it sounds great. Plus itās reasonably priced. Itās not like some $1,000+ purchase that is giving me cold feet.
I think maybe itās that it only has nine knobs. Thatās less than the AS-1 has and I found that to be a menu-diving headache. But this does have faders to make the menu use more enjoyable than on the AS-1. I should just pull the trigger. Worst case I return it or sell for a small loss.
Thanks for listening
to me this looks more hands on than the AS-1.
As great as it sounded, the menu was no fun
Me too. I am assuming it is not very immediate and that there is a fair bit of menu diving. Yup. There sure is. Mm hmm.
Pretty accurate. Itās surprising how playable the sliders controlling various things in the āmenuā can be during a performance.
Iāll ride a single stepās note octave often.
For me itās a great combination of accessible synthesis, incredibly deep modulation (up to 189 simultaneous modulations), and portability. And no concessions were made on just how huge it sounds (synthesis and effects) or how capable the sequencer is.
Hard to knock it.
hahahahahahaā¦
no.
no pressure, thoughā¦
Has anyone taken the Typhonās top off yet?! Iām wondering about whether I could simply take it off, measure it, get a new ālidā cut with a completely different silkscreen design. Custom fascias that are actually metal, not some sticker could be another advantage of the Typhon.
itās just the best in so many ways.
sounds soo good.
really broad palette.
them fx.
the ridiculous amount of modulation.
sequencer.
that price.
damn.
n I get a real SH vibe off it at times. for me itās like a next gen 101/202 at certain settings, which make me very happy.
if they add scales itāll be my favourite mono of all time. and itās pretty close already.
Iāve taken the top off as I had to replace the screen. Once you unscrew the knobs and take those off, the top panel comes off quite easily.
nice. Yeah it looks and sounds superb.
I do everything with maschine lately. Elektrons are parked in the closet mostly since I bought maschine
Iām very productive but some hands on little synth that adds some mojo from the real world could be a great addition.
So the Typhon arrived today. Only had a little time so far to sequence it with my DT and dive into the modulation but itās really nice. The effects are pretty huge and combined with the girthy oscillators itās quite a beast. Havenāt been able to update it yet and itās only on 2.1 but going to do that later. As of this old firmware the MIDI drift is severe - the internal sequencer goes out of time with the DT almost immediately.
EDIT: I made a little video showcasing my first patch with the Typhon which is being sequenced by the Digitakt. Drums are from the Digitakt, both are running separately into Ableton Live with a tiny bit of saturation and into Waves J37 on a relatively transparent patch. Itās achingly derivative of Boards of Canada but I just had to share it!
Got an email from synthesizer.gr saying the first batch of the copper and black edition is sold out, but there will be more to come around the end of March
Couldnāt resist
Got one.
Ordered my black&gold Friday and received Monday - great fast shipping and handling (to Denmark)
