Description
Powerful and Portable Analog Synth from Dreadbox and Sinevibes A collaboration between Dreadbox and software developer Sinevibes, the Dreadbox Typhon transports the ultra-fat Dreadbox analog sound into a portable desktop unit. Belying its small size and welcoming price point, the Typhon is packed to the gills with stunning sound design features. This formidable monophonic synth comprises two all-analog VCOs, a four-pole resonant lowpass filter, two envelope generators, and analog VCAs — all the components you would expect from an old-school inspired subtractive synth. Sinevibes powers up the Typhon with its cutting-edge DSP technology and sound design prowess, equipping it with an expansive FX section that includes six separate distortions, a bitcrusher, two delays, reverb, and three modulation effects. Synthesists at Sweetwater know that the creative impulse can strike anywhere. With the Dreadbox Typhon, you’ll always have a creative tool by your side. Plug in your headphones, build a pattern in

The media could not be loaded. I love 303's. I'm not going to stop using them. I just kept trying to use them the way I should be using this. This is a whole lot of monosynth in a small package. The power of this thing isn't just the modulation. It's that you can modulate almost anything. Which makes your sound creation potential ridiculous. While still being able to do 303 style sounds if you want. I would suggest doing the research and finding a fully grounded USB wall wart with 3 prongs. My first wall wart was two prong and I got hum. Some devices don't care. This one does. The wart I've been using with great results is the POWSAV 3-Outlet USB Wall Charger and Extender with 3-Way Splitter. I have a few pieces of usb powered gear connected to one. No hum because it's properly grounded. Otherwise, I can't think of a reason to hate on this thing. It's amazing. It's the perfect marriage of a capable monosynth with a ton of studio quality effects. So instead of getting a minotaur and a bunch of guitar effects pedals.... done. It has a really creative menu system that's actually fun to use. Roland should hire them to do theirs. Right now I have mine doing double duty as a bassline and atmospheric. I fell in love with B45 "Roller" and have a few variations of it. Now i'm free to use the Virus like a polysynth. It just fits right in with everything I have so perfectly. That's a worry when you have analog synths. Some synths just don't sound good together. This thing sounds amazing. I have gear I love to death. I love the TR-505 more than any person should. I adore the Pro-800. It's my favorite synth. I don't care that it's a prophet clone. I love the virus snow with all my heart, quirks and all. I can't imagine working without an Oxi One ever again. I've had this synth hours and I'm already feeling that way about it. Like I should have had one already. Now that said.... If you already have a bunch of effects or aren't trying to maximize board space, you might want to spend a little bit more and get the Erica Synths DB-1 Bassline instead. They've made a 303 that is a very capable monosynth also. It just has almost no effects, and it is truly mono out. It's good enough on it's own if you bring the effects. But if you don't have 500-1000 dollars in studio quality efffects laying around, this comes with them built in. I had been "suffering" with the DB-1. I adore it and I'm keeping it, but the workflow with the oxi one was fiddly, while also plugging in a guitar effects board. On top of everything else, because they provide an "effects input" can do truly ignorant things like pass the output of the Typhon into the effects loop of the Virus, and vice versa, so they can share each other's effects. I can't begin to describe how stupidly fun this is. And between the two, I've got any effect I'd want to use with the Pro-800 or TR-505. Right now I have the 505 going into the Typhon and the Pro-800 going into the Virus and I might leave it like that. I'm just not expecting something as awesome and professional as an effects loop input on a small well priced monosynth. It's not idea. You have to have the cutoff open. But running drum sounds through it sounds amazing. My final thoughts. This build quality. This price range. This level of utility and thoughtful design. Why can't Roland or Korg make minis this good? Other than maybe the Roland R8, I don't think I've ever had something I picked up this fast without using a manual. I love that config is basically one menu deep. I have yet to read the manual. Setting the midi to chan 5 and enabling passthrough was cake. Changing the knobs to "catch up" on preset load so I can learn the knob positions was easy. Another surprisingly thoughtful feature. I'll come back and update my review after a few months but it already feels like a no-brainer. I love this thing. The only and I mean ONLY complaint I might have is a lack of a CV input. I'd love to hook it up to an SQ-64 for its slides. I had to really try to think of one. It's amazing with a good tracker in a mix. I'll put up a video. This is the kind of experience that makes you look at the rest of someone's products.

This thing is enormous. For monophonic, the Typhon has incredible depth of character. The wave knob is kind of weird in that it is a very usable knob that takes the place of manually deciding your oscillator mix. The filter is glorious and the layout is great for playing around. The effects are a big selling point as they are gorgeous and tweaking is clearly displayed on the screen.

This thing sounds amazing. Just buy it.

First of all, I got this synth on for $279 a year or so ago at a local shop. The synth is definitely worth $399 or even $449 (inflation, global pandemic, chip shortage, etc. are why you're seeing pricing jump across the board for music gear). Anyway... I never write reviews on Amazon, but when I saw another reviewer write "+really hard time coaxing good sounds out of the typhon because the oscillator section is too minimal," I nearly spit my tea out of my mouth. The Typhon is one of the best bang-for-your-buck mono synths on the market. The sounds I can "coax" out of this tiny box are simply amazing. The oscillators are versatile, diverse, thick, and crisp. The digital fx section triples its sound potential, and the mod matrix squares all of it. After crafting a brilliant patch, I can save it and load it up for any other production or live jam with my friends. If I had a time machine (one that could send me back to 2020), I would have bought 3 Typhons for $279. Seriously. Go watch some YouTube reviews. I have a ton of gear and the Typhon is a piece I'll never sell on Reverb. It's that good.

It's a great synth that does a good job of addressing one of the biggest issues with mono synths stand-alone; they're dry and boring. The built in effects provide the needed depth and interest to get really cool sounds out of the thing without having to invest in external hardware. About the only serious fail on the box IMHO was their decision to not have the slider lights tied to the modulation etc. You could have displayed LFO's on there and such. I emailed them about this and felt the response was kinda weak, they were worried about PWM noise. Ok, then don't PWM the LED's, PWM analog current sources and let the current sources drive the LED's with reasonable filtering. I'm an audio hardware engineer, I know this would work cause I've done it myself. But ohh well, don't let that stop you from buying it's still quite awesome and the fact that it runs off USB allowing the use of a battery bank is also great!

Pretty powerful little synth for the money, I use mine as an FX processor for other synths. I gave it 3 stars because the synth itself leaves a lot to be desired. I have a really hard time coaxing good sounds out of the typhon because the oscillator section is too minimal.

This amazing little box has brought me such joy. It’s my first analog synth and the possibilities seem pretty much limitless with the modulation options given. The continued support from both Dreadbox and Sinevibes make this a no brainer purchase. It will only get better as they add more features/effects based off customer feedback.

Wow! My current midi controller doesnt plug into this, nonetheless I have been having fun tweeking the sounds inside with the nobs. Bought a new Arturia minilab... hopefully it works for this! Because it will be AMAZING!
