Some. The Oct Tone has a gate output for each stage and an assortment of bells and whistles lurking beneath various button-combo type gymnastics. Moskwa offers definable per-step ratcheting patterns, probability features, more transport behaviors, a truly extraordinary random play feature, per-step slew, and an expander that offers significantly more CV-control options (including per stage gate outputs). Pretty much everything is semi-documented on the panel, although the type is small. Both have the ability to chain two units together for 16 step sequences. There are a ton of other distinct details that are either big or small, depending on your personal priorities.Love that it is lots of functionality in not much HP, is there some similarity with the Moskwa II?
In my opinion, both fail as roto-sequencers. Oct Tone doesn’t even really try—it just has eight steps arrayed in an oval. Moskwa II blew it by not quite building out the sequence start and length parameters sufficiently. I would also be much more excited about either of them if they had variable, cv-controlled gate length.
