The Eventide Misha is a 28 HP interval-based Eurorack algorhythmic sequencer. Inspired by the Samchillian keyboard and twelve-tone serialism, it plays melodies using scale steps rather than fixed keys, featuring 3 CV/Gate pairs, MIDI I/O, and Scala microtonal support.

At the epicenter of Misha are nine buttons, positioned in an ergonomic "smile" shape to accommodate two-handed playing. Unlike most controllers, the buttons don't correspond to specific pitches, but to intervallic distances between the notes in the currently selected scale. Pressing the button labeled 0 repeatedly will produce the same note every time. On the other hand, hitting the +1 button will increment the note with each press by one step in the scale. By the same logic, pressing +2 will increment the note by two steps within the scale, and -3 will decrement by three steps, and so on.

Misha excels at monophonic improvisations. If you have seen Leon Gruenbaum shredding on Samchillian, you can easily understand why this is the case. You can soar through extensive arpeggios spread across several octaves using only three fingers. And even more importantly, the fingering pattern will remain the same regardless of the selected key. This being said, Misha is not strictly a monophonic instrument.

Misha allows you to compose and perform chord progressions, where each chord consists of up to three notes. The module can output polyphonic sequences from its CV/Gate and MIDI outputs simultaneously, which can be very handy if you want to layer or alternate between two different synth sounds. Rather marvelously, Misha allows you to play or sequence chords the same way you would approach a monophonic sequence, where each interval button triggers the entire triad, keeping the relational quality of chords within the specified scale. This makes it unfathomably easy to play harmonic progressions of varying complexity.

Features:

• Interval-Based Playing: Navigates musical scales by steps (+1, -1, 0, etc.) rather than traditional static note keyboards.
• Tone-Row Sequencer: Captures and manipulates sequences using prime, retrograde, inversion, and clock division modes.
• Scales & Tuning: Includes 100 factory scales and supports up to 100 custom scales via Scala files.
• Connections: 3 independent CV/Gate output pairs, MIDI input/output, a built-in oscillator audio output, micro-USB, and micro-SD.

Note: This is a used item, and while it is guaranteed to be fully functional it is almost sure to also contain "rack rash" on the mounting holes and have some minor scratches on the panel from use. It will include a ribbon cable, m3 screws, and a box, but not the original box.
