nal drive mode, and remember to eject Moskwa
II from the computer when finished.
Moskwa II will return to its original quantiza-
tion settings whenever the scales.txt file does
not conform to the template (e.g., signs/charac-
ters other than "0", "1", and "," are used; a sign
is missing, etc.).
CUSTOM SEQUENCE
The shift/custom button allows for program-
ming a unique step combination as a custom
sequence. This function is available only in the
step mode. To program a custom sequence,
press and hold the shift/custom button while
pushing the step buttons in the desired order.
When you release the shift/custom button,
the default step order will be replaced by the
custom sequence. The custom sequence can
be as long as 256 steps. The custom sequence
playback is indicated by a yellow LED next to
the shift/custom button. The custom se-
quence can be recalled at any time (in the step
mode) by pressing the shift/custom button.
You can add steps during playback by pressing
and holding the shift/custom button, and
then choosing steps to be added at the end of
the custom sequence. When the custom se-
quence is inactive adding new steps erases the
previous custom sequence. To erase the cus-
tom sequence without replacing it with a new
one, press transport + shift.
PRESETS
Pressing and holding the patt/preset but-
ton for one second enterss the preset memory.
This mode is indicated by a red LED next to
the patt/preset button. There are 8 preset
slots available. A written slot is indicated by a
green backlight. To choose a preset, push the
corresponding step button. Upon loading the
preset its step button flickers, and the backlight
changes from green to red. The last loaded pre-
set is indicated by a red backlight on the cor-
responding step/slot. Patterns saved while two
Moskwa II units were chained together (see: be-
low) are indicated by a yellow backlight. Load-
ing such a chained pattern switches the units to
chain mode.
To write a new preset (saving the current state
of the module), enter the preset memory by
pressing and holding the patt/preset button
for one second. Press and hold the shift but-
ton, and then press the step button to which
you want to assign the preset. All settings are
written along with the preset except for the cv
lock function (see: "Global Settings"). Loading
a preset may lead to discrepancies between the
values set by the knobs and the actual values
generated by the loaded preset. To avoid unex-
pected pitch jumps after touching a knob, the
value changes only when you move the knob
past the value written with the preset. To re-
call the current knob positions, load an empty
preset slot.
TRANSPORT BUTTON:
SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
The transport button can be used to restore
default settings when combined with the indi-
vidual sequence step 1-8 buttons or the main
mode buttons step and patt. In step mode,
transport + step 1-8 resets all settings for
the chosen step, while transport + step
resets all steps' settings from step mode (in-
cluding the deactivation of steps). In pattern
mode, transport + step 1-8 clears the pat-
tern for the chosen step, while transport
+ patt resets all the settings from pattern
mode. In preset mode, transport + step
1-8 clears the chosen preset slot.
With step 3 active in the global settings
(see: below), pushing the transport button
and turning the probability knob all the way
clockwise and then all the way counterclock-
wise clears the probability sequence (see:
below). In step mode, press transport +
shift/custom to erase the custom sequence.
