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-
9
tings" section), the reset input
sequence to the first step, and the direction
input 11 reverses the direction of the sequence.
At the top of the panel, there are three smaller
knobs and three buttons. The rand play knob
12 gradually mutates the sequence resulting in
some steps being randomly replaced by other
steps from the same sequence. Turning the knob
clockwise increases the probability of replacing
the next step with another step chosen random-
ly and returning the knob to 0 returns the se-
quence to the current panel settings. The slew
knob 13 sets the global slew time from zero up
to the length of a whole step. The probability
knob increases the probability of random
14
setting inversions (activated by steps 2-4 in
the step mode, see: "Step Settings" section).
The value set by the potentiometer is common
for all the steps, but for each step, the draw is
performed individually, so the result can be dif-
ferent for each step. The custom/shift button
15 activates a custom sequence (see: "Custom
Sequence" section below), and also acts as a
shift control giving access to secondary func-
tions. The step/quant button
step mode (single press), or the quantization
menu (press and hold). The patt/preset
button activates the pattern mode (single
17
press), or the preset manager (press and hold).
Each button has a LED indicating various
modes of operation and to help the user navi-
gate the more advanced functions—without
the need for menu diving!
MODES: STEP & PATTERN
Most adjustments are performed in two main
operational modes: step mode and pattern
mode. The principal functionality for both
modes is the modification of the gate/trigger
events. Press the corresponding step or patt
