Modulators
Typhon features 3 independent modulators that can be routed to 13 different destinations. Control the pitch, filters, waveform, envelopes, amps and effects, and unleash thousands of combinations to alter and shape your sound through modulation. Each modulator can use LFOs, envelopes, random generators or the sequencer as a source.
Effects
Typhon is equipped with a set of powerful DSP effects programmed by Sinevibes. The DSP engine runs at 32-bit 96kHz for high quality stereo effects. Choose which effects to assign to 3 FX slots available on each preset to precisely dial in the tone and vibe of your patch.
- FX1 is dedicated to distortion algorithms with 6 different algorithms for distortion, bitcrushing and FM sounds.
- FX2 is dedicated to chorus, ensemble and flanging effects.
- FX3 is dedicated to lush-sounding reverb and 2 delay types.
Sequencer
Typhon features an onboard 32-note sequencer that can be used to sequence notes in the traditional way or used as a modulation source. Each step of the sequencer will store note, velocity, octave, gate and probability trigger information. The length, swing and BPM division of the sequencer are also fully adjustable.
