front panel overview Moskwa is equipped with three inputs situated at the bottom left of the panel that allow for re- al-time playback interaction. The transport input pauses the sequence (see: “Global Set- tings” section), the reset input resets the sequence to the first step, and the direction input reverses the direction of the sequence.
This mode is indicated by a red LED next step, whole step. In Moskwa II it translates to: to the step/quant button. "1,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1". The quantizer gives you access to eight scales Replace the default set of scales on your Mosk- selected via the step buttons.
