v2.02 on the unit mate just keep seeing this
Change to a short usb cable, I read itâs a comms problem if it takes more then a second? Failing that Iâm running out of ideas
It seems to send presets ok but it just wonât update the firmware, changed to short usb cable and presets send ok⌠iâll keep trying
Maybe try a different pokey think for the reset button
I give up mate taking too much music making time up⌠I can send and get presets just fine it just wonât update the firmware.
Emailed the developer no reply yet
Mine was ok though Iâm in ye olde iMac 10.11.6
Mine is available in for sale in the lounge.
Not any more
Itâs beautiful!
I think I was able to grab (one of) the last âold-designâ Medusa from Thomann at the low price of âŹ503.74 (+ import tax). When I placed the order a few days ago, it said âexpected delivery in 1-2 weeksâ. Now I just got a shipping notification, and that version has been marked out of stock.
I actually prefer the old design to the minimal âblack editionâ, and it doesnât hurt that it was a fair bit cheaper. Exciting!
Medusa Limited black Edition currently 699 at Thomann!
Still 699 at Thomann.
Iâve not yet had time to really dig deeply into the Medusa, but this video makes it all but impossible to resist.
The Grid would be worth the asking price without the attached synth - and vice-versa.
agreed, the grid is such an underrated MPEâŚ
Based on your initial impressions how does it compare soundwise to the other synths that you own?
Even cheaper at JunoâŚ
It sounds excellent - especially as a big, thick 6-osc monosynth. I have always been a sucker for a digital wavetable plumbed through an analogue filter, and this doesnât disappoint in that area. The filter is very good indeed. More importantly, the modulation options are pretty deep.
The only things I could wish for would be stereo outputs, built-in effects, and user definable wavetables. But all of these things are more than made up for by the sequencer and expressive control.
It isnât as immediate as it appears - there is a lot under the surface. I need to take some time to explore it - maybe make a track using only the Medusa.
It sure lacks onboard FXâŚit begs to have a pedal or any playful FX attached to the output at all timesâŚ
I find that most of the times onboard FX sucks on synths so it doesnt really matterâŚyou attach a Zoia to it or a Cooper FX Arcades and voilĂ
I canât help but think how much fun it would be if the grid and/or sequencer was used to control onboard effects, Elektron-style.
Combine it with an Analog Four⌠et voila!
