WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE AUDIO OUTPUT?
It wasn't intentional, but I forgot to address the audio output because it doesn't do much as of the current firmware at the time of the review. It outputs a sine wave at the frequency of the main melody. It doesn't play the additional notes if you play chords, and the only waveform is a sine wave. Hopefully, they add more functionality there in a future firmware update!


INTRO SETUP:
A word about the setup in the intro: Misha isn’t connected to Vector Wave directly. For the intro/outro jam, I ran midi out from Misha to my computer so I could render the laser notes shooting out the module, and I then sent Misha’s midi to an arp plugin on my computer, and then finally to Vector Wave via its midi input the front panel.

MISHA vs NDLR
I saw this question come up a lot, instinctively probably because they both have a vertical screen and are sequencers, but that's where the similarities end. NDLR is designed to power four tracks and four instruments (most suitable for bass, pad, two melodies), which all follow the absolute chords you play on the panel (with some rhythmic and melodic arpeggiation). Misha can only sequence one instrument at a time, so it's designed just for a single instrument, and you program melodies in a relative way on it. Misha also lets you perform "relative" melodies live using its keypads or an external keyboard. You can't do that with NDLR. I guess that's the short answer, when you watch both my reviews you'll know everything I do!
