Hi!
Dreadbox and Sinevibes' TYPHON is little synth with much more in it than meets the eye.
On the one hand, it combines six knobs into one (oscillator 1 and 2 level, oscillator 1 and 2 shape, pulse width and oscillator fm depth), and on the other hand, it adds two knobs that no other synth has to my knowledge... (VCA and filter envelope timing).
It has analog fm that is both wild and controllable at the same time, and a mod matrix that eclipses many others in more expensive synths. And it can store presets. And despite all that, it's sold at $380/350 euros.
As usual, even if you don't own it or plan on buying it, I've packed my video with plenty of patch ideas, which will hopefully help you get more out of your synth, send you FM'ing your oscillators or filter, and bit crushing your oscillators! (note... as per the S&H chapter in my book, you can use an analog sample and hold circuit as a bitcrusher/downsampler)
I've also attached to this post the "mod level to semitone translation cheat sheet" I mention in the video.
I hope you find this useful!
All my best,
Ziv
