We were very happy and very honored to watch this review and find out just how much you've been enjoying your Typhon! Thanks so much for being our customer, and for giving our desktop plugins a shout-out. BTW would like to confirm the other comments, since the last update from Dreadbox that enabled power+audio+MIDI over USB, we've had no issues with ground loop noise, it's a huge difference from before. Just one cable to the laptop and it's been working perfectly fine in our tests.

I think Stimming is smarter that that. Just received my second Typhon unit and it has a noise issue; plugged into the wall directly or via a battery, HiQ cable, plugged the output directly into my (net powered) mixer: loud white noise. VCF needs to be over 50% before synth becomes loud enough to overpower the noise in the mix...

Love the Typhon. I enjoy using it so much. You get really nice results here.

ABOUT THE NOISE: My Typhon does not have any noise at all, unless I draw the power from the same source where I'm inputting the sound and thus creating a ground loop. It's a bit unfortunate thing, but easy to solve really. And I'd go as far as saying: if you are not playing live, you miss a lot what Typhon has to offer. The AMP and Filter time knobs are pure gold in live performance situations, just so damn clever and quick way to alter the sound. Those are useful in sound design sessions as well, but the real usability lies in live playing. But yeah, the noise is not there, unless you create a ground loop.

If you are playing it with a MIDI keyboard directly and going direct into the mixer, you're right, it won't help, but the answer is the same if you want to avoid the output noise. Otherwise, throw it through an EQ or a gate, or however you deal with other noisy equipment. 🙂

The one problem of noise can be remedied by using a power bank. Its silent with its own power bank. Also, it draws very little power, a small 5000 mah battery lasts 10 to 15 hours. I recommend mounting a slim power bank to the bottom. I'm in love with this synth

I almost bought one of these when they came out, after having bought both the Nyx2 and Erebus v3 and really loving their sound, and their ability to go into really intense sonic territories. - But, I thought I'd miss the extra physical controls one gets with those machines, that are not instantly accessible on the Typhon. Still, after listening to this, once again I'm feeling a possible purchase coming on, if only to have access to a Dreadbox unit with presets. - Dreadbox definitely offer unique, quality machines at an affordable price. note - Even the newer Erebus and Nyx can be a little noisy, depending on the settings, - noise never really bothered me, all my 80s and 90s gear hums and buzzes like fyck already.

Hello lequel est le meilleur des trois pour rechercher des sons ?

Great and fun review! The noise seems to be a problem across all devices that use USB power, and I've seen a ground loop noise isolator can help, but never tried myself. Number one reason I avoid all USB-only powered devices.

@blaablaa22

Жыл бұрын

Yup, it's super common with USB powered synths, as you can create ground loop so easily with those. But USB powered doesn't mean you need to plug it into your computer. In case of Typhon for example, most phone chargers and USB-power bricks and such (or even another computer, if you have one :D ) work just fine, and then the ground loop is gone.

Re the noise: The first thing I did was just put a cheap rechargeable USB battery pack inbetween the charger and the Typhon. The pack is plugged in so it's not going to lose power. That solved it straight away. It also doesn't seem as bad when you run it from a filtered USB power hub instead of a phone charger type. No noise when powering it from an Akai MPC Live 2 either.

Outside of the Moog behind you, I can't think of any synth company that has better sounding Oscillators than Dreadbox.

Excellent video thanks! Questions: can you record your own presets? I mean the machine record the position of the knobs. Could you recommend a drum machine that goes together with the Typhon (with the same analog madness)? Thanks !

@benhall2235

Жыл бұрын

Yes you can. Obviously the knobs aren’t automated so when you save a preset it saves the sound but the knobs may have been moved since you saved it, however the sound is saved so after loading the preset until you move the knobs again the sound will be as you saved it. The knobs then “catch up “ when you start moving them. I have the Digitakt paired with mine. It’s a sampler but load analogue drum sounds and it’ll sound analogue. The best thing about it is the sequencer which you can use to control several other synths or samplers or whatever over midi. The recent updates to the Digitakt have made it an absolute powerhouse of a groovebox. If I had the money though and I cared about it all being analogue sound sources I’d get the elektron Rytm. Anything elektron is gonna be a good idea imho.

Yeah its awesome and seeing Stimming give it a run through makes my wallet quiver...however the noise thing is a bit crap....

Nice video (as always, Stimming is f* awesome) any chance to see a new video on M+, 2 years after, is usable as standalone performance HW now ?

Are you maybe getting RF noise via the USB power source? Seems some devices are a bit fussy with the quality of power.
