It’s easiest to think of each pad of the 8 x 8 matrix as 64 little boxes that can contain
NOTE data, PATCH Modifying Data, both, or neither.
Looking at the example to the right, pad 1
contains a NOTE value of C2 and PM Data
where the filter cutoff is 64, the filter reso-
nance is 52, and overall amplitude is 127.
Pad 2 contains a note value of D2 but no PM
data. Pad 3 contains no note data, but does
have PM data where the filter cutoff is 33, the
filter resonance is 52, and FM filter is 48.
The sequencer of the Medusa can be pro-
grammed, controlled, and edited by the 8
x 8 grid of silicon pads and the collection of
knobs and buttons positioned to the left of
the grid.
The pads are numbered 1 to 64, starting in
the top left corner (pad 1) and ending in
the bottom right corner (pad 64). When a
sequence is built or recorded, the first step
or note value is stored in pad 1, the second
step or note value is stored in pad 2, the
third in pad 3, and so on. An eight step se-
quence would have the note values stored
in pad 1 through pad 8. A sixty-four step
sequence would have the notes stored in pad 1 through pad 64.
Important to note, the Menu Button , a clickable encoder, can be used to scroll
through and select menu items listed in the seq OLED.
2. Two Modes: Grid and Notes
There are 2 modes to work with the 2 types of GRID data: GRID mode and NOTES
mode. The GRID mode is used to program and edit any Patch Modifying Data, and
the aptly named NOTES mode is used to program and edit the notes of the se-
quences you create. By default the Medusa starts in NOTES mode, and this mode is
indicated by the seq OLED showing “Notes Mode” in the top left corner. To enter the
GRID mode, simply press and release the GRID button. The GRID button will now be
lit, and the seq OLED will display “Grid Mode” in the top left corner.
The GRID mode also offers an easy way
to see where both NOTE and Patch Modi-
fying Data are stored in the 8 x 8 grid.
In GRID mode, if a pad is lit:
•0% - contains no data
•25% - contains only PM data
•50% - contains only NOTE data
•75% - contains both NOTE and PM data
