Added another performance sequencer (Moskwa II) to my setup

[Ben Asaro]

I was having so much fun with the Oct-Tone, I wanted to add a second performance sequencer to my skiff. Again, Vintage King to the rescue.

The Moskwa II arrived yesterday and I already have recorded two jams with it. It plays perfectly with the Oct-Tone. The large layout makes it easier to make adjustments; both are fantastic units but the nod goes to the Moskwa.

It's a very attractive looking module. Intriguing!

One of these would be cool,

Lets hope TipTop get on the case.

That thing looks mad.

I've had a couple of brief plays with the Moskwa and it's a really nice performance sequencer, particularly bc there's so much room to get your hands in and work. The range knob is very musical and you can improvise with it in situ in a way that you can't with the SubH's range button. (ie, pressing the range button on the SubH has a much smaller chance of the result automatically being musical to my ears, whereas the Moskwa may not be the most interesting, but at least it will work until you can make adjustments)

Good news Ben, I thought about getting one of these a few years back, but had second thoughts, only because I’ve tried "knobby" sequencers, and don’t get on with them, I much prefer a keyboard sequencer.
That's good buy though Ben, it is one of the better knobby ones.

It does take a bit of practice to get used to playing the dials instead of keys, and it can get out of hand when you have all 8 steps going, but this jam was recorded using the Moskwa on just one step and playing the dial like a rotary keyboard.

Now that's lovely Ben, and not what I was expecting from a performance sequencer!
