At Superbooth 2018, we talked with Polyend founder Piotr Raczynski, who introduced their collaboration with Dreadbox, the Medusa synthesizer.
Pricing and Availability
The Medusa is expected to be available mid-2018 for 999€. See the Polyend site for more info.
Does it sequence external gear?
How many tracks?
Velocity?
If it can sequence exteral it will be a great value.
It does sequence external gear.
1 track
Velocity – yes.
Wonder if the one track is choice between internal and external. Hope the firmware can be updated for multi-track.
No, just one sequencer track for both internal and external patch. It’s limited because later on there will be a standalone Grid controller/sequencer with probably 64 track sequencers.
I can see a great potential here. Is the sequencer up to 64 steps? Will all parameters be MIDI CC-able?
yeh i read all params are CCable somewhere… check the main site
if it does external MIDI thats great… but Im well interested in this alone as it is, ive got enough boxes for other stuff to cover all the bases
along with the powers of this snake headed goddess… yeh thats all she wrote fellas
my beloved mc-808 blows it out of the water.
Apples and airplanes.
Besides it blows your MC-808 and E2 out of the water, screen-wise. 😉
Can we get it without sequencer for half price? It will be smaller, because I don’t need a device specific version of Push.
You can’t obviously, the functionality of the synthesizer without the Grid would be badly cut. It’s not just a internal MPE controller, it’s a sequencer, it hold’s the presets, it’s a modulation matrix. What does the Medusa’s Grid has in common with Push in your opinion, besides the look and form factor?
It goes into a Reverb in the video.
Still pretty interesting.
