Eventide releases Misha - Interval-based Instrument & Sequencer for Eurorack

2nd August 2022 - KVR Audio News

Eventide has released Misha, a new type of Eurorack instrument and sequencer that utilizes 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 spontaneous creativity. Modify sequences using some of the classic techniques such as PRIME (forwards), RETRO (backwards), or Inverted playback, or completely rearrange sequences in unpredictable and exciting ways.

Misha comes preloaded with a variety of scales ranging from typical Western scales, microtonal scales, scales that use just intonation, and everything in between. Additionally, two banks of user scales allow users to upload their own scales using the Scala format for further experimentation. Create a simple melody or sequence, change the key and scale, and manipulate the pattern into a whole new creation.
