Whether in its ceiling-mounted or stand-mounded configuration, Medusa is easily and intuitively wound and set. A single propeller element, which projects from the bottom of the movement for easy access, is rotated anticlockwise to wind the movement and clockwise to set the time. In a departure from their previous clock movements, L’Epée 1839 combined the winding and setting systems in the Medusa movement. Additionally, with most of the movement surrounded by glass, access to any winding or setting mechanisms would be limited. Due to the weight of the outer glass shell and its vulnerability to shock damage, it was necessary to build a movement that could be wound one-handed, with the other hand available to stabilise the clock. L’Epée went back to the drawing board for Medusa, designing the movement entirely from scratch. Medusa comes in three limited editions of 50 pieces, each in a different colour – blue, green and pink – chosen to reflect the natural hues of a jellyfish. The vision was so clear that, in the end, the final clock turned out to be very close to the initial sketch!”

(And we’ll be doing some open source/DIY Q&A soon, too, so this isn’t just limited to vendors. But it’s wound up leading to some interesting discussions, so I’m open to doing it again, with any makes or models you wish. If you think today’s “talk to the manufacturers” is in any way inspired by the fact that I’m busy at the OFFF conference in Portugal, you’re right. The flexibility of the Juno-G is really remarkable. That rhythm set can be confined to, say, the bottom octave of the keyboard. If one really wants to trigger sequenced patterns from the keys, an entire song can be resampled as an audio file and be assigned to a key within a rhythm set. Layered/split performances can be played from the keyboard simultaneously. The Juno-G’s rhythm patterns can be triggered from the six buttons below the screen, and they can be either heavily modified or created from scratch via step sequencing. "Can you trigger sequenced patterns from one part of a keyboard split while playing synth sounds on another?” Samples can be manipulated with the Juno-G’s myriad synth parameters–filters, effects, envelopes, LFOs… There’s even realtime timestretch, so any sampled loops will automatically follow the song’s tempo, without changing pitch. A fully-loaded Juno-G can store and play back up to 51 stereo or 102 mono minutes of samples and audio tracks. With the new Juno-G OS 2.0, the sampling engine is right at your fingertips and any samples can easily be assigned to keys or to the buttons below the Juno-G’s screen.
