New Audio Gear Alert: Misha from Eventide, Waves Harmony, BP1 Bass Preamp by Caveman & More

Eventide releases the Misha instrument & sequencer for Eurorack.

Eventide offers an exciting sequencer solution for Eurorack users.

Misha is a new type of instrument and sequencer that utilizes a unique, interval-based approach to playing and creating melodies. Inspired by twelve-tone composition, Misha’s sequencer expands upon the tone row technique, allowing for new paths of spontaneous creativity. Modify your sequence using some of the classic techniques such as Prime, Retrograde, or Inverted playback, or completely rearrange your sequence in unpredictable and exciting ways.

Misha comes preloaded with a variety of scales ranging from typical Western scales, microtonal scales, scales that use just intonation, and everything in between. Additionally, two banks of user scales allow you to upload your own scales using the Scala format for further experimentation. Create a simple melody or sequence, change the key and scale, and manipulate the pattern into a whole new creation!

Caveman Audio introduces the BP1 compact bass preamp.

Aimed directly at bassists, Caveman Audio debuts the BP1 compact bass preamp.

Caveman Audio’s BP1 Compact gives bass players a fundamental bass tone that is very similar to that of the 1073-inspired BP1 Bass Preamp, but with a significantly smaller footprint. Since the goal is improving the core bass tone, its purpose is not to act as an effects pedal, but to serve as an always-on component in the signal chain.

Caveman Audio recognizes that the sheer preamp design is not the only component capable of enhancing the fundamental sound of a bass audio signal. Therefore, they also pay focused attention on suppressing noise and avoiding impedance mismatch in the electronic design that surrounds the preamp circuit, which includes transformer-balanced DI output, onboard input buffer and unique RFI protection—all of it housed in a road-ready, zinc-plated steel enclosure.
