Eventide Audio has announced the immediate availability of Misha, a new type of instrument and sequencer utilizing a unique, interval-based approach to playing and creating melodies.
Inspired by twelve-tone composition, Misha’s sequencer expands upon the tone row technique, allowing for new paths of creativity. Sequences can be modified using some of the classic techniques such as Prime, Retrograde, or Inverted playback or completely rearranged your sequence in different ways.
Misha comes preloaded with a variety of scales ranging from typical Western scales, microtonal scales, scales that use just intonation. Additionally, two banks of User scales allow users to upload their own scales using the Scala format for further experimentation.
Overview:
— Make sound three ways via MIDI, control voltage (with three independent gate/cv pairs) or outputting waveforms via the audio jack.
— External control templates for MIDI and QWERTY keyboards.
— 100 factory scales and additional slots for up to 100 user/custom scales (Scala support).
— Tone row-based sequencer inspired by the classic compositional technique used in serial music.
— Comprehensive control of sequence playback to manipulate and expand musical ideas.
— Create rhythmic variations using clock division.
— 18 user presets.
— CV inputs for external trigger/control sources.
— Clock input for syncing to external sources.
— User configurable PPQ settings.
— Audio output for internal oscillator.
— Polyphony via 3 CV outputs or MIDI.
— Micro-USB for firmware updates using Eventide Device Manager.
— Micro-SD card for saving/loading scales and settings.
