wa II sequencer module. It greatly augments
Moskwa II’s connectivity giving the user the
ability to use CV to change most parameters.
Ostankino II also adds quite a few outputs
including access to the Leibniz Binary Sub-
system.

enhances Moskwa II’s already vast sequence

With the switch set to the bit out position,
each Ostankino II bit output (both on the
