  • Page 3: Installation

    . Do not touch any electrical terminals when attaching any eurorack power (bus board) cables . Do not touch any trimmers on the back of the module - MEDUSA is meticulously calibrated and even the slightest changes to the trimpots are likely to require a full factory recalibration.
  • Page 4 MODULAR Overview The Subharmonic Oscillator is one of Serge’s latest inventions and also one of his most extraordinary designs . 7 accurate analog VCOs tied at the waist—in unison, yet their frequencies can open up like a fan, creating complex clusters .
  • Page 5 Spread Medusa is carefully calibrated so that all seven oscillators can play the same pitch / frequency . Of course, Medusa is a fully analog design, so do not expect the voices to act 100% in unison without any Schwebung . To get a unisono sound (with exceptional tracking), make sure Spread (11) is turned all the way down and the FREQ knobs of oscillators (2) to (7) are all turned to minimum (CCW) .
  • Page 6 Band Practice MEDUSA is a complex beast - don’t expect to discover all her secrets in the first session . Some tips: The output signal(s) are very overtone rich, providing an ideal starting point for all sorts of filtering . Using multiple filters (in series or parallel) can give very interesting results .
