This is where Storm and Monsoon meet to create the latest improvements on the original Clouds design. With Typhoon you get all of the features of Storm combined with sliders and layout of Monsoon in 16hp. Typhoon runs the SuperParasites firmware, so no more having to swap between Parasites and Kammerl firmware options. Some of the notable features are:
Dedicated blend controls for Feedback, Panning, Mix, and Reverb (similar to Monsoon)
All eight modes from Parasites and Kammerl
Stereo VCAs
Input/output mutes
Exponential and linear pitch controls
Universal CV routing and random CV signals
Usage tips:
Press and hold time to swap between modes, then press the time to cycle through the options (* = lit LED)
*OOO – Granular Clouds (Parasites)
O*OO – Pitch Shift / Time Stretch (Parasites)
