![]() ![]() The practice takes a little getting used to, as playing one button up, then repeating, will cause two different notes to play, in two interval steps. The buttons are illuminated, aiding in learning the mode Misha is in, along with pinning down muscle memory.įor those with less theory knowledge playing Misha is probably more intuitive, but for those with some, or who play keyboards, it might come as a little struggle. You can access different musical modes too. There are more scales included than will ever realistically be exhausted, meaning you’ll be good to go even if you want to explore microtonal territories, as well as your more commonly used scales. Note values are dictated not by these buttons but by the currently selected key and scale, accessed by the rotary knobs. At the point of the V array is a ‘0’ button which will replay the last note, then there are two sets of four buttons that play increasingly more or less intervals, so the first button to the right plays one interval higher, the second plays two intervals, and so on. The ‘keyboard’ is a set of buttons that don’t equate to musical notes but to intervals. ![]() While more of a traditional sequencer, Erica Synths has made a killer unit, with four tracks of CV and gate, plus the magic randomiser button, helping to keep this playful and unexpected. Intellijel’s wonderful performance sequencer is a fantastic option for generative music and jamming, with a bunch of tools for evolving and morphing a sequence. When using the onboard voice, you can output via a stereo pair of outputs, then on to the rest of your rig for filtering and modulations, etc. You can, however, attach a qwerty keyboard, but more on that later on.Ī micro SD card is included for storing and loading presets and MIDI is on offer via a pair of mini TRS jacks, one each for in and out, so no through option here, although that isn’t too big a loss. Though we are informed that this is something Eventide is working on. As it stands you cannot plug in a MIDI controller keyboard, which would be great as the playable buttons aren’t velocity sensitive. Other ports include a micro USB, mostly for installing firmware updates. Although there is an internal clock Misha can be externally clocked via CV or MIDI and features a nicely implemented clock divider. ![]() Eventide has been pretty generous here, with three CV outs, meaning this can act as a polyphonic sequencer. Misha does feature an onboard VCO but for many users, getting pitch information out of Misha and into their chosen voices will be the order of the day. Above these is a very bright and clear display, which is similarly well laid out, with note, scale and octave information taking the most space, although this changes when accessing menus and options.Īs much as button-per-function is nice, the balance between physical format and capability is good here and, although it will take a little learning to master all the button combos, it is worth the investment as the playable experience is so good. These are illuminated, showing different states of the module and, as with the rest of Misha, are clearly labelled. The controls are well laid out and are dominated by the V-shaped array of buttons used for interval selection. That overall use of horizontal pitch should be forgiven, or praised, as it does make the performance aspect of Misha more comfortable – there is just the right amount of room to not feel cramped, whilst the controls aren’t so spaced out that you have to stretch to reach. The 28hp module is large but shallow at under two centimetres, so it will fit in most skiff-style rigs.
