    - When powering the Typhon from a computer, if you use a DAW to process the unit’s audio, a ground loop can be created, causing a noticeable hum. In that case, you should power the Typhon from a different power supply, and not from the same computer that you’re running the DAW on.

While the note sequencer acts like a controller playing notes, the step sequencer is just another way to modulate parameters like the Filter Cutoff or the waveforms of the Oscillators.
