Moog Mavis – Semi-Modular Analog Synth Voice Kit
The Moog Mavis is a build-it-yourself monophonic synthesizer that combines classic analog Moog tone with hands-on patchability. Featuring a single VCO, ladder filter, wavefolder, and 24-point patch bay, it works standalone or as a 44HP Eurorack module—perfect for both newcomers and seasoned synth users.
Galvenās iezīmes
- Classic analog circuitry: Mixable sawtooth and pulse wave VCO with PWM and FM options.
- Legendary ladder filter: Resonant –24 dB/oct Moog low-pass filter for rich tone shaping.
- First Moog wavefolder: Adds harmonic complexity uncommon in compact analog designs.
- Modulation tools: Includes an analog LFO (triangle/square), ADSR envelope, mixer, sample-and-hold, attenuators, offsets, mults, and flexible routing.
- Compact patch bay: 24 patch points with 3.5 mm jacks for modular-style connectivity.
- Onboard keyboard: One-octave keypad with scale and glide functions immediately playable.
- Modular-ready: Easily removed from its enclosure to serve as a 44HP Eurorack module.
- DIY build format: No soldering required—quick assembly with included tools and cables.
Priekšrocības
Mavis gives you real analog warmth and modular flexibility at an approachable price. Beginners can learn synthesis by assembling and patching it, while modular users gain a powerful voice—either standalone or integrated into larger rigs.
