Overview

Preset mixes and tons of patches offer creative percussion.

Medusa is a modern ensemble drum library created for trailer producers as well as film, game and television composers. Musical Sampling made it point to get every possible sound out of the drums, including the top velocities.

Getting the mix presets dialed-in was just as crucial and took the most time during Medusa's production cycle. In the end, they completed a bunch of mixes that you'll love playing around with. Hermes is a tight, punchy mix. Centaur is the all-rounder, while Zeus takes excellent advantage of the room tone. The Gorgon mix is a hyped, massive, punchy mix designed specifically for trailers.

Musical Sampling created the Concussion Hits patch, which is comprised of 49 unique, aggressively-processed hits. They're designed to be used as massive accents and low-end support. Musical Sampling also included a WAVs folder of those hits and more for those who prefer that workflow (or for longer samples like risers). To complete the percussive side of Medusa, Musical Sampling created The Pulses patch. This patch includes a collection of live hybrid rhythms meant to act as detailed background layers in your percussion tracks. Want a bit more involvement with those grooves? Move that modwheel up.

Also included is an arsenal of playable sound design patches, including drones, keys, guitars, basses, synths, cue starters and more. You'll be playing and experimenting with your sound right away. No fluff or afterthoughts here either. Musical Sampling recorded tons of new source material and built these patches from the ground-up.
