This video, via Reverb, offers a sneak preview of the upcoming Eventide Misha sequencer from the 2022 NAMM Show.
The Eventide Misha is a 28hp Eurorack instrument/sequencer that uses a unique, interval-based approach to playing and creating melodies. It can control and sequence other modules via MIDI or via 3 CV/Gate pairs.
Features:
- 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 easily manipulate and expand upon your musical ideas
- Create rhythmic variations using clock division
- Four user-assignable buttons
- 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 easy firmware updates using Eventide Device Manager
- Micro-SD card for saving/loading scales and settings
Pricing and Availability
The Eventide Misha will be available this summer for $599 USD.
Something about this demo had me thinking about Mr. Rogers, particularly when the train would come.
Anyway…this is rad. Telling myself I need to not buy another module but it just looks so fun.
Much of this ‘innovation’ has been around for years:

Sort of. Remapping notes to scales is just one part of it. The way it can iterate up and down through the steps in a musical way is what’s interesting. And as sae mentioned, it’s based on the Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeee. Inventor Leon G is playing it in this old video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8BXMMQZtYE&t=19s
“…The way it can iterate up and down through the steps in a musical way is what’s interesting.”
Which is what Instascale does.
I don’t mean in terms of a quantized scale but musical intervals I, III, V…. Maybe it’s the same. But I’ve heard Leon G describe them differently.
Here’s the inventor demoing the predecessor 16 years ago. And he’d been building it for years prior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8BXMMQZtYE&t=19s
very cool! but that’s not a hardware module! 🙂
I’d be interested in a HW only module too! Ideal usecase for me would be to connect it btween my edrums and a synth. A bonus mode would be a keyboard split mode that could trigger something like as AAS Strum which uses some keys to pick strings and another for chords and notes.

I would love this as standalone hardware with midi.
I programmed this interval transposition thingy for a teensy, it is quiet fun to play, (Scales selectable via cc) but i would never pay 600 bucks for that module. Also, I´m not a prof coder but i wrote the transposition feature in about an afternoon.
the most un-eventide product ever. what’s wrong with them? after all the wonderful DSP; this thing? *yawn*
Finally something else and they’ve instantly shown they can do more than gud dsp and you yawn?
yup, n u kan reed reely gud 2. this stuff is only of use when you have an infinite number of monkeys playing synths; which is exactly where we are in the modern music scene.
Have you heard of NLDR,(https://conductivelabs.com/ndlr/) this looks like a complete rip off with a higher price point because its Eventide. Eventide would be better off making Eurorack effects aka do what you are good doing.
