Reworked pitch bend and glide
Pitch bend now is always -oct/+oct for both analog and digital oscillators in all modes and
stays in tune between analog and digital oscillators. It also works in the full range for
Glide has seen an upgrade, too. Glide value 127 is now always 6 seconds and its pitch
curve is now always “frequency linear” which sounds better in low frequencies. The pitch
curve is the same across analog and digital oscillators. Glide’s start is now always the last
previous note which in polyphonic modes helps soloing over steady background holds. In
Mono mode, unfinished glide now gracefully returns to the initial note. Finally, changing
the GLIDE knob value while glide is in progress continues with current pitch.
Better “Channel per Voice” mode
“Channel per voice” mode selected in MIDI Channel In configuration is now specific to the
current selected Play Mode:
in Mono mode it responds on CH1;
in P1 mode it responds on CH1 - CH3;
in P2 mode it responds on CH1 - CH6;
in DFM mode it responds on CH1 - CH6.
In other words, each channel is now truly “per voice”, not “per oscillator”.
Incoming CC messages are now processed in “voice per channel” mode; but note that
they are still synth-global, which includes pitch bend and the sustain pedal. Be careful:
you can overwhelm Medusa with incoming CC if you send lots of it from all channels at
When CC input is enabled, now Medusa responds to Program Change messages sent on
the right MIDI channels. Values 0 - 63 are presets from Bank A, values 64 - 127 are
presets from Bank B. This is a global message, like other CC messages.
Note: Medusa doesn’t use Bank CC messages, only the Program Change message.
