Eventide - Misha

Dodecaphony, tone series, serial music! Don't panic - What sounds complicated can be experienced creatively with Eventide's Misha and is also (at last) a new&inspiring Euro-sequencer idea.

Misha has a quick-to-learn, serial, interval based sequencing approach and includes an integrated synth.

"Play Differently" is the motto of the latest offspring of the Eventide family, which at its core follows a simple approach to bring the principles of serial composition to life and gives you new ideas: If you play a key on the piano, the tone associated with this key always sounds in its specific pitch. Misha, on the other hand, has pushbuttons arranged in intervals from +/- 1 to +/-4. When a key is pressed, the tone that corresponds to the interval of the currently selected scale is heard. If you change the key or scale, you can quickly create creative variations. These can be recorded via the sequencer function and modified in the way of playback/sequence of playback, supplemented with further notes and also played polyphonically in chord mode. In addition to the 100 factory-set scales, which include microtonal scales in addition to standards such as pentatonic or diatonic, just as many user-defined scales can be created and stored on the micro SD card using the Scala format. Via MIDI and the three CV/Gate pairs, the chord playback can be made even more varied by pitch bend or transpose, if necessary. Four user-defined buttons can be used to define further creative options, while the audio output sounds the internal oscillator.
