It is actually super mild here right now temperature-wise, shorts weather actually, just drier less humid air now that winter is creeping in. I had to power cycle the device to restore proper functionality. The Load button LED would light upon depressing but would not pull up the patch load screen. I took a few steps around my jam room, touched the Typhon chassis before adjusting the knobs, heard a slight (not loud!) static zap in the PA mains, and the Typhon encoder at that point was dead. I have this one powered with a nice USB cable included with my Novation Circuit Mono Station I bought new last year, which is plugged into an Amazon USB/120V plug, which is plugged into my power strip. This one has a serial number that is sub-1000. I am concerned that there is an issue with the design. I think it sounds fantastic so far, however. Just received my new Typhon here in the US, my first ever Dreadbox purchase and my only music equipment purchase this year. Off to get a new cable - looks relatively standard, though I don't remember what the one end is called that is more squarish. So there is some interaction the bad cable has with power conditioning I am guessing that set-up hums. Read the instructions included in the zip file, before proceeding with the update. For instance, i didn't see anything like the midi cc modulation, or the midi cc modulation, in the nyx v2 or the erebus v3. It also went away if the Typhon's power was removed (by removing the cable). Do not update the firmware of the Erebus V3 Special Edition. It looks like this level of modulation is unique among the dreadbox instruments, and that their more expensive machines have much less of it. ![]() It does not go away if I mute the Typhon, but leave the SH open. It's really odd as the I get a really bad hum with both my Subharmonicon and Typhon unmuted, but it goes away if the SH is muted. The Nyx has 2 VCOs so it can sound more traditional, but also has two filters and multiple modulation options so it can get a bit crazy as well. The Erebus has an ear for chaos with its 3 VCOs, which can be tamed and tuned but its way fun to experiment with. SO instead of going directly into a keyboard amp where I was testing it originally, I plugged it into my Vixen Mixer. Very different from the Erebus, but also really lovely. I decided to throw it in my current set-up for a composition. So thanks for posting as it confirmed my suspicions. I was just starting to suspect this (without seeing the warning). What kind of cable are you using and what’s it plugged into? I just noticed that there’s a new warning on the Dreadbox website about faulty usb cables causing noise. It doesn't sound like a groundloop as I would expect that to be simply a hum all the time. Some patches zero, some I have considerable constant background noise (and it is passing through the effects), some I only seem to have some extraneous distortion/noise when played (seemingly when the envelope is anything but 0). Hopefully, it will become more widely available as it’s the perfect companion to the Hypnosis.So I seem to get considerable distortion/noise. ![]() The only disappointment is that this special edition Erebus V3 is only available currently from Sweetwater. This includes Sample & Hold, white noise and a 3 point mult for spreading that control voltage around. The Echo on the end is really nice.Ī lot of the internal connections are revealed on the sizable patch bay on the side. ![]() Other key features include a looping modulation envelope, an LFO and a multi-mode filter. The first 2 do the regular business of building a tone and then the 3rd oscillator comes in and messes it all about in quite delicious ways. Otherwise, this is the evolution of the classic Erebus analogue synthesizer offering duophonic sound from 3 interlinked oscillators. I particularly like the cassette graphic on the Echo. ![]() Other than the paint the job this special edition is identical to the regular Erebus V3.
