It comes with a 24-point patch bay and a single VCO with pulse width modulation, waveform mixing and mod source mixing.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, you&#8217;ll also find a -24dB low-pass ladder filter, along with an audio rate LFO and 4-stage envelope generator.  Uniquely on a Moog synth, there&#8217;s also a wavefolding circuit, bringing additive synthesis into play.  The modular utilities section, meanwhile, includes attenuators, offsets, mults, and a DC-coupled mixer.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s a patchable sample and hold circuit, which generates a random CV pattern that can be used to modulate other parameters.  One application of this is to set Mavis into a &#8216;random sequencing&#8217; performance mode.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:7195px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:66.70%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"Moog Mavis\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/musicradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-970-80.jpg.webp 970w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"Moog Mavis\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/musicradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj-970-80.jpg 970w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QzfqrQxeWtDa3R5TbLzagj.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Moog)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Like a number of previous Moog instruments, Mavis is designed to be assembled by the owner.
