LFO Synchronization with MIDI Clock
When using external MIDI clock, LFOs which have Sync enabled now properly sync to the
clock. For best results, be aware of three things.
Synced LFOs reset phase on first held note. If that first note is out of phase with your MIDI
clock, the synced LFO will be out of phase as well. This is deliberate as it allows for
greater artistic expression. If you need LFO phases to be in sync with the clock, quantize
your MIDI notes.
As long as you keep at least one note pressed, synced LFOs will keep flowing. This is
important for LFOs with longer periods. If you let go of the only key held and then press it
again, the phase of the LFO resets. This is deliberate as it ensures that the timbre of the
preset stays consistent while playing.
Finally, the quality of your external MIDI clock is important, if it fluctuates a lot internally
you’ll be hearing inconsistencies in LFO phase, even if the average tempo seems fine.
Other fixes
Fixed digital clicking at note start;
Improved analog AMP envelope release handling (no clicking on release of the last
held note);
Long note releases are no longer cut short when no notes are held;
When a second held note is released in Mono mode, the first one returns with the last
one’s volume instead of full volume;
When a note is pressed when no voices are available in Next voice priority, the least
recently used voice is taken over; note that in the First voice priority Medusa will not
play another note if all voices are used, this is deliberate;
Auto-calibration now uses a smart timer that increases intervals as the device warms
up;
Increased responsiveness when a lot of USB MIDI data is incoming;
Incoming “all notes o” and “all sound o” MIDI CC messages are now respected;
Sustain pedal (CC64) is now supported in all play modes (MIDI hold mode);
Changing Pads Root Note, Layout, Scale, or MIDI Middle C while notes are held no
longer causes hanging notes;
MIDI aftertouch no longer causes hanging notes in Mono mode;
Amp envelope in all polyphonic modes is now updating on the screen.
