"I’m in love. Benn and Gear’s video review sold me on this, and I must say, he was right, and the haters who’ve never owned one were wrong. This is my new favourite piece of kit and the centrepiece of my set up. It is best to pair it with a good fx pedal to finish the sound (I’m using Empress verb which he also sold me on), but as workflow tool and compositional aid alone, it sends me in directions I wouldn’t otherwise go. An absolute blast. I was still thinking about it at work! The new firmware is so. Friggin’. Sweet. You can route midi channels per voice like the classic MIDIpal unit. I’m using this in conjunction with Digitone and Digitakt, and it’s a match made in heaven. Polyend implemented about a dozen things I’ve always wanted from Elektron. A drawback for live setups is the tuning can require a recalibration from the main menu after extended play, and you gotta let the analog oscillators warm up for 20 min, but I highly recommend this unit. Great job to Polyend and Dreadbox for a landmark synth that truly stands out from the pack." Anthony L. @ reverb.com

"I've just recently acquired Medusa - the collab between Polyend and Dreadbox. In terms of functionality, I could put it somewhere between the Pro2 and Analog Four - All of those have pretty well built and intuitive sequencers. However - with 12 synths in my studio, I've noticed one thing. The more convoluted and digital the interface is (in other words- the more control you got) - the more the lovely analogue sound is compromised. NOT SO WITH MEDUSA!- you can do a lot of stuff and assign different snapshots to each step of the sequencer - yet it still maintains a very, very, very awesome analogue sound. Rough and growly. My 2c. Cheers to you all!" Mikołaj Stroiński (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt music composer)

"The Medusa is a genuinely new prospect within the music technology sphere. There are plenty of new ideas here that stretch the boundaries expected of a hardware synth. Many totally unique sounds can be wrought out of its myriad modulation routings. It’s unconventional approach certainly leads you to unconventional places!" Gaz Williams (Sonicstate)

"The Medusa has changed the way I program and perform music. The culmination of a massive synthesizer engine paired with a powerful and flexible sequencer make the Medusa my new go-to. On top of being an extremely powerful synthesizer and composition tool, the Medusa is just plain fun. This is an instrument that begs to be played and is nearly impossible to put down." Cory Sterling (Redstripedown)

"The Medusa is like a futuristic marriage between the best features of a Tenori-On and DSI Evolver, two pieces of gear made iconic by their originality and innovative interfaces. What it accomplishes for me is an instant inspiration to make unique melodies and sounds, and it serves as a much-needed vacation from DAWs and step-sequencers. I'm honestly amazed by how simply enjoyable and addictive this thing is to play with." Benn Jordan (The Flashbulb)
