Moog Mavis Build-it-Yourself Analog Synthesizer
Moog Mavis is a build-it-yourself analog synthesizer kit that delivers the huge depth of sound Moog is known for in a compact and feature-packed instrument. Assembly is extremely simple; users of any skill level can quickly assemble their own analog synthesizer with minimal tools and experience. Perfect for first time users and established synthesists alike, Mavis' semi-modular design and one-octave keyboard will get you started making sound immediately without the need for additional equipment (except for a speaker or headphones). As a standalone instrument, Mavis is a straightforward analog synthesizer with patchable modular utilities and unmistakable Moog sound and quality. Easily remove Mavis from its case and it becomes a 24-point 44hp CV-controllable module ready to be installed into your eurorack system or alongside Moog's other semi-modular instruments. Mixing the familiar with the exotic, Mavis features Moog's legendary oscillator and filter circuits alongside a diode wavefolder – the first analog wavefolder to appear on a Moog instrument. Combining traditional subtractive synthesis with additive wavefolding and oozing with personality, Mavis' clever presentation of synthesis modules and utilities ensures deep creative synergy and musical connection. Mavis is a powerful, fun and low-cost Moog that makes learning synthesis or expanding an already-advanced studio setup approachable for anyone looking to explore classic analog sound in a new way. An incredible value for any artist and a great first step into synthesis Accessible and flexible way to add Moog to your setup – operate standalone or as a 44hp eurorack module Distinctive, legendary sound of genuine Moog oscillator and ladder filter New Moog wavefolder circuit offers additive synthesis sounds never heard from a Moog before Onboard utilities including attenuation, offset, mult, sample-and-hold and mixer Compact form factor with 24-point patch bay and protective cover Owners provided with synthesis learning support through tutorials, patchbooks and more Built-in keyboard with glide and scaling As a standalone instrument or as a 44hp eurorack module, Mavis adds an expressive 1v/octave controller to any setup with the flexibility to dial in experimental new pitch relationships via the KB SCALE knob and explore musical intervals that go beyond established standards. Full-range analog oscillator A voltage-controllable oscillator with pulse width modulation, waveform mixing and mod source mixing delivers rich harmonic character and motion. Voltage-controlled filter Sculpt your sound with the 24dB Moog low pass ladder filter, delivering the sonic power behind the distinct sounds of Moog basslines and leads. Audio rate LFO and 4-stage envelope generator Mavis uses crossfaders in its modulation routing instead of switches, allowing you to blend between a variable shape LFO and four-stage envelope generators for interesting and unusual modulation contours. Wavefolding and modular utilities Mavis features Moog's first-ever wavefolding circuit, allowing additive synthesis to sit alongside traditional subtractive synthesis, along with a broad modular utilities section complete with attenuators, offsets, mults and a flexible DC-coupled mixer. Patchable sample-and-hold This circuit generates a random CV pattern that can be patched to modulate other parameters, including setting Mavis into a 'random sequencing' mode of performance. 24-point patch bay Mavis is eager to play along with other voltage-controlled devices – especially Moog's other semi-modular instruments! – and its useful collection of utilities and flexible control voltage routing allow for intricate dialogue between them. Protective cover Mavis includes a fitted protective cover for use during studio downtime or when taking your instrument on the go.
