I apologize if this is a dumb question but my sound-design skills are non-existing and I’m a bit confused: I’m using an initial patch with all Modulators and Fx set to 0, but I’m still getting some modulation on the sound and I have no idea where it’s coming from. I recorded a short video to exemplify, any tips on what’s happening here?
I stopped using the Typhon for a couple of weeks because I was focusing on samples however once paired with a nice external sequencer the Typhon really comes alive for me. I have to say I don’t like assigning CC values on the Typhon, I find it too awkward, but that’s clearly my issue rather than the hardware. I just like having it on the desk as a solid analogue oscillator source for sequencing and sampling.
Does it modulate on every Wave or only when the Wave selector is on a Dual VCO? If you’re on a Dual VCO, this is a common Analog behavior. It’s a Phase thing.
Does it happen with single oscillator modes? E.g. Saw 2 or Square 1?
Typhon’s modulators support multiple targets, perhaps check that all the modulator destination levels are ALL set to 0 (not negative or positive) by moving the DEST slider and check as you scroll the slider.
Yes, in the FM oscillator mode you have oscillator 2 (triangle) modulating the oscillator 1 (square). The modulation amount is controlled by the TUNE 2 knob.
What you’re hearing in the two-oscillator modes is one oscillator “beating” against the other. It results from them being tuned slightly differently, which produces a difference in phase that varies slightly over time.
