About This Item
Description
Misha does not ask you which notes to play. It asks which intervals to move, so a sequence becomes a set of steps up and down through a scale, and one change of starting pitch rewrites the whole melody.
Which Eventide Eurorack module is this?
Misha is Eventide's 28 HP Eurorack instrument and sequencer, and it is the only modular-format device in this part of the range: everything else Eventide makes here is a floor pedal. It generates and plays sequences by interval rather than by fixed pitch, outputs stereo audio of its own and speaks CV, TRS MIDI and USB keyboard input. If you want Eventide processing on a pedalboard rather than in a rack, the H90 Harmonizer and the H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 are the floor equivalents.
Why modular players choose Misha
- Composing by interval instead of by note means a sequence keeps its shape when you move its root, which is a genuinely different way to write in a rack.
- It is an instrument as well as a sequencer, with its own DC-coupled stereo audio output, so it can make sound without another voice module.
- MIDI over TRS Type A brings keyboards and DAWs into the rack, and the user guide documents a 5-pin DIN to 3.5 mm adapter for older gear.
- A USB keyboard can be mapped to the interval system, which turns a cheap QWERTY keyboard into a performance controller.
- 18 user presets keep sequences and configurations recallable between sessions and on stage.
- Firmware updates arrive through Eventide Device Manager over Micro USB, so the module keeps gaining features after purchase.
Controls and connections
- Interval controls Move the sequence up and down through the selected scale by interval rather than by absolute pitch.
- CV inputs and outputs Connect Misha to the rest of the rack for clocking, pitch and modulation.
- MIDI over TRS Type A Accepts keyboards and DAW output; a 5-pin DIN to stereo 3.5 mm adapter is documented in the user guide.
- Micro USB Firmware updates through Eventide Device Manager and USB keyboard mapping.
- Stereo audio output Two channels, DC coupled, so Misha can act as a voice as well as a controller.
- Preset system Stores and recalls 18 user presets.
Power and rack compatibility
Misha is a standard Eurorack module, 28 HP wide and roughly 1.9 cm deep, so it fits any 3U case with the space to spare. It takes bus power through a 10-pin 2x5 IDC header on the rear, connected to your case's 2x8 16-pin header with the supplied ribbon cable, red stripe to the -12V side. Current draw is 105 mA on the +12V rail and 5 mA on the -12V rail, so budget accordingly if your case is already close to its limit. There is no external adapter and no battery: the module is powered entirely by the rack. A Micro SD card and mounting screws are supplied in the box along with the IDC cable.

FAQ
What makes Misha different from a normal sequencer? Most sequencers store fixed notes. Misha stores intervals, so a sequence is a set of moves through a scale. Change the starting pitch or the scale and the whole phrase transforms while keeping its shape.
How wide is it and how deep? It is a 28 HP module, roughly 14.2 cm wide in a standard 3U rack, and Eventide publishes a depth of approximately 1.9 cm.
How much current does it draw? 105 mA from the +12V rail and 5 mA from the -12V rail of the Eurorack bus.
Does Misha make sound on its own? Yes. It has a DC-coupled stereo audio output, so it can be played as an instrument as well as used to drive other modules.
Can I connect a MIDI keyboard? Yes, over TRS Type A MIDI. The user guide documents a 5-pin DIN to stereo 3.5 mm adapter, and a USB keyboard can also be mapped to the interval system.
How are firmware updates installed? Through Eventide Device Manager over the Micro USB connection.
