INSTALLATION & SETUP
The module requires 20hp worth of free space
in the Eurorack cabinet. Always turn the pow-
er off before plugging the module into the bus
board using the supplied ribbon cable. Pay
close attention to power cable pinout and ori-
entation. The red stripe indicates the negative
rail and should match the dot or –12V mark
on both the bus board and the unit. Moskwa is
internally secured against reversed power con-
nection, however, rotating the 16-pin header
may cause serious damage
to other com-
ponents of your system because it will short
circuit the +12V and +5V power lines. Always
pay particularly close attention to the proper
orientation of your ribbon cable on both sides!
Do not attach the power ribbon cable to the
Ostankino expander connector!
connecting
the power cable to an incorrect head-
er will destroy your module!
The unit
should be fastened by mounting the supplied
screws before powering up. To better under-
stand the device, we strongly advise the user
to read through the entire manual before use.
PANEL OVERVIEW
Moskwa’s panel is divided into four function-
al sections with a row of inputs/outputs at
the bottom of the module. In the center is the
transport button
1
surrounded by three
red knobs. The button starts and pauses the
sequence, while the three knobs adjust the
main sequence parameters. rate
2
adjusts
the frequency of the built-in clock, thus setting
the tempo of the sequence (12 to 2400 BPM).
When an external clock is patched into the ext
clock input
3
, the rate knob allows for di-
vision or multiplication of its rate. range
4
adjusts the amplitude of the signal present at
the cv out output
5
(adjustable in quantized
1V increments). Moskwa produces CV within
the 0–8 V or ±5V range (see: “Global Settings”).
The inner ring around the range knob indi-
cates value increments for 0-8 V, the outer ring
does the same for ±5V. reset sets

the num-
ber of steps in the sequence (1–8).
The three main knobs are circled by eight po-
tentiometers and eight buttons—a pair for each
