5. First startup routine
Make sure all the potentiometers are fully counterclockwise when turning
on your Mod Medusa for the first time. Plug in the power cable and make
sure the red side of the ribbon cable matches the -12V on the PCB. Now let's
plug the module into your system and test it. The module identifies the first time
it turns on and automatically starts the calibration and test routines.
Turn on your rack, the Mod Medusa Tap button will lit red and the Uni button is
dimmed. Without anything inserted into the jack sockets press the Uni button.
The Uni button is now on and the P Sync button is dimmed. Using four patch
cables, patch Out 1 to LNGHT, Out 2 to DNST, Out 3 to Shape and OUT 4 to
Sym, then press the P Sync button once. Wait until all four green out LEDs
light on.
Disconnect the four patch cables, and make sure the four potentiometers are
fully conterclockwise. The Tap button is lit green, pressing it makes it red, Uni
button is off, pressing it lights it on. P Sync button is off, pressing it lights it on,
button is off, pressing it light it on.
All the table LEDs are on and mode LEDs are off. Pressing Shift < lights the
first mode LED. Pressing Shift > lights the second mode LED. Pressing Table
lights the third mode LED and pressing Mode lights the fourth mode LED.
Take a gate or clock output from another module and patch it to the Mod
Medusa following inputs : When connected to the Clock input the firt table LED
switch from green to amber. When connected to the VCA input, the second
table LED switch from green to amber. When connected to the RST input, the
third table LED switch from green to amber. When connected to the A GT
input, the fourth table LED switch from green to amber.
Disconnect the patch cable, and turn each of the four potentiometer fully
clockwise, when doing so each of the four output LED will dim accordingly to
the potentiometer position. Once every portentiometer as been fully turned, the
startup routine is done and your Mod Medusa is now fully functionnal.
If you made a mistake during the startup routine, you can relaunch it by main-
taining the TAP button when powering on your Mod Medusa.
