The Moog MAVIS Semi-Modular Analog Synth Kit is perfect for synthesizer enthusiasts, providing an all-in-one DIY kit so you can build yourself a powerful semi-modular synth from scratch. Whether you’re just diving into the world of synthesis or you’re a seasoned analog junkie, the Moog MAVIS Synth Kit is a must-have for any musician.
Once assembled, the MAVIS acts as a semi-modular analog synthesizer with 24 patch points. One of the most unique features of the MAVIS is the analog wavefolder – the first to ever appear in a Moog instrument! Compact yet powerful, once built the MAVIS is a fun and versatile synthesizer with expansive sound design capabilities. It can even be removed from its case, converting it into a 44HP Eurorack-ready CV controllable module.
Equipped with a full-range analog oscillator with PWM, the MAVIS provides you with all the tools you need to translate your ideas into sound. Waveform mixing and mod-source mixing allow you to create rich and complex tonal characteristics. Shape your sound using the classic -24dB Moog low pass ladder filter – the same filter used to craft classic Moog basslines and leads.
Opting for crossfaders instead of conventional switches, MAVIS allows you to blend between the variable shape LFO and the four-stage envelope generators for unique modulation options. Bringing the best of both worlds, the MAVIS can utilize both additive and subtractive synthesis thanks to the onboard wavefolding circuit, complete with a wide range of controls including offsets, mults, and even a DC-coupled mixer.
The kit comes complete with a durable protective cover which helps to maintain your synthesizer on the road or in storage.
DIY analog synthesizer with expressive keyboard controller
Get to grips with the internal workings of a synthesizer with this build-it-yourself analog synth kit designed for both beginners and seasoned synthesis enthusiasts. The synthesizer is quick and easy to assemble and is highly accessible for any skillset. Once built, the MAVIS presents you with a powerful yet compact semi-modular analog synthesizer with a built-in keyboard and a 24-point patch bay. Play and control your sounds using the expressive keyboard controller, which allows you to create rich tones and complex sounds.
Using the KB scale knob, you can dial in new pitch relationships, allowing you to explore uncharted musical intervals and create something truly unique. At the heart of the MAVIS synthesizer is a voltage controllable oscillator with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) as well as waveform mixing and mod source mixing. The wide range of mixing capabilities allows for rich harmonic content and motion.
Classic Moog Ladder filter with four-stage envelope generator
It wouldn’t be Moog if they didn’t include their iconic ladder filter. MAVIS is equipped with a -24dB low-pass ladder filter – the secret behind many distinct bassline and lead sounds. The ladder filter allows you to shape and sculpt your sound and translate your ideas into sound. MAVIS also features a variable shape LFO and four-stage envelope generators, which can be operated via the onboard crossfaders to blend between signals for complex modulation options.
The first analog wavefolder in a Moog instrument
A first for Moog, the MAVIS features an analog wavefolding circuit that combines the best of both worlds – allowing you to tap into additive and subtractive synthesis for a broader tonal palette. These two schools of synthesis allow you to create powerful and unique tones via the wide range of controls on offer. The large utility section includes everything from attenuators and offsets to mults and even a versatile DC-coupled mixer, so you can blend and mix between various waveforms.
Get creative with your live performances using the patchable S+H (Sample and Hold) circuit. Using the S+H circuit, you can generate random CV patterns which can be patched to modulate various parameters. You can even leave it up to chance and let MAVIS create its own random sequences. Paired with the powerful analog sound engine, this versatile circuit allows you to create rhythmic melodies and much more.
24-patch bay and protective cover
Get creative with your sound design and modulation using the versatile 24-point patch bay. Use the various inputs and outputs to patch into external synths, modules, and other gear. It is optimized to be used with other voltage-controlled devices (such as other Moog semi-modular instruments). A wide variety of control voltage routing allows for complex modulation options and a varied tonal palette.
Requiring zero soldering, the MAVIS can be set up and ready to use within an afternoon with clearly annotated instructions that are easy to follow. Once constructed, the MAVIS comes complete with a fitted protective cover to keep the synthesizer protected while on the move or in storage.
