Your cart is empty.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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
