[@thorsondelaspalmas1460]

You can always control the folder index by mixing CV with your audio before the folder-remember that a folder is also a VCA. I only wish the Mavis had a bigger mixer or more envelopes. You can also generate more foldable harmonics by slewing your waves through the filter before the folder. Wavefolding is so much fun. ❤

Love the concept of assemble-yourself-a-synth, lets you look at the things inside without necessarily messing the whole thing up.

[@iamsushi1056]

First off, the wavefolder’s oscilloscope view is wild! I’ve never seen a wavefolder architecture like that. Second, never discredit wavefolder-filter feedback loops. They’re incredible, especially as the vca happens post-filter, pre-feedback on this. It’s exciting

[@ukbloke28]

that sounds really cool. im new to this - how does one make a "wavefolder-filter feedback loop" happen?

Regarding controlling the wave folder by CV, what about controlling a servo motor from the CV to turn the knob?

Well you can do that, but it’s rather complicated.

[@charlieb.4273]

Hello, I’m rather new to electronic music and have a basic question. The Mavis says that the output is +-5v but the OP-1 expects a line level input of +-1v. Is there a problem running the output of the mavis into the OP-1? Can I hurt the OP-1? Charlie in Virginia.

[@Hainbach]

Wont hurt it, just watch the overload light on the OP-1.

[@allgunsblazed9106]

Anyone know of a good desktop drone typa synth? Looking to make some pretty expansive drones on new tracks.

[@jonpatchmodular]

Depending on what you're looking for but from personal experience and in this context, the Neutron is the right tool. Two nice, fat sounding VCO's, noise, a multimode filter, modulable analog BBD delay and overdrive offer a rich and very tweakable sound. The LFO, S&H, two envelopes, two attenuators (one of them a VCA) and a slew limiter allow great modulation potential. All that turns it into a great standalone drone unit or at most with some reverb or a modulation effect (lovely on phaser). But I'll gladly expose that the S&H and the slew limiter are NOT precise enough to use them for pitch signals. And there are no convenient FM inputs for the VCO's, just the v/o ins. Seriously, if you want something more premium look for something as versatile as the Neutrom or just make a modular synth. If you're looking more for a polysynth type deal then I don't know.

[@montxsuz]

I have a Moog Werkstatt + CV Expander. I am wondering if there is value in adding a Moog Mavis to turn it into a 2 oscillator "stereo" synth. There are some good KZbin videos of people making good ambient music on the Werkstatt, nothing yet on using the two together. (I have a heap of other synths incl a few other semi-modulars. Mavis will join my DIY bench if I get it).

[@MuzixMaker]

Never thought I'd see the words "budget" and "Moog" in the same sentence.

[@stefan1024]

Well, it's 400 euro.

Hi, this is a great video!! Thank you for showing us so many sounds. Could you tell me where we can get more patch cords than just the 5 that are sent with the synthesizer, in the box? Also, is it possible to use as many patch cords as we want to obtain more sounds?

You can get them at any music store that has Eurorack. And more patching does in deed more Sounds

@@Hainbach details. I must know more about it please :D.

[@RegebroRepairs]

Hehe, I just bought one and realized to late it doesn't have MIDI. 😀 No big deal, I can use the West Pest as a MIDI->CV converter if needed. They do work well together. It's hard to make one patch with both, but doable. But it's very nice to be able to use the Mavis envelope and filter with the West Pest oscillator+wavefolder.

[@Dan81]

The wave folder on this, sounds just like the metlliser from the Arturia Microbrute.

[@MrStupidHead]

I always wondered what that metalizer was on the MB. Do you think it is a wavefolder? I dont get much use out of it, as it sounds so ranky. But if i know it is a wave folder, maybe I'll explore it futher.

[@marcburch1163]

Great tutorial and review

[@vaaalsongs4867]

Always a good day when Moog announces a new synthesizer with an accompanying Hainbach-vid 🙌🏼

EVERYONE and their mother in synthesizer-youtube-land got a Mavis from Moog! I counted 9 (nine!) among my subscriptions, and all on the same day. I subscribed to those channels because I (used to) value their diversity and original individual approaches, but this kind of thing is happening more and more often and fosters a sheep mentality among youtubers and users alike. Every youtuber knows that publishing a bad review on the release date puts them at risk of being left out of the loop for future releases, which is bad news for their channel‘s monetization. Even if the manufacturers don’t spell it out...they don’t need to, because „baah-baah!“...The synth world needs their own Glenn Fricker.

Competition for the West Pest in the form of an affordable Moog? Yes please! Such exciting times for synth people! Edit: the lack of MIDI, a built-in sequencer, and specially CV modulation of the wave folder are a bit of a downer. Wave folders are fun, but in this package, it just doesn't bring enough to the table.

[@ThisIsDownstate]

agreed. without those things i feel it's over priced. Slightly diff beasts i know, but for a cheaper price i think a crave is more useful and sounds great.

[@BottleMakesMusic]

It's a nice synth, and the voicing seems OK. Filter definitely has a rich, wet "squelch" to it. On the other hand, the wavefolder is a bit "meh" TBH (I much prefer the sound of the WF in my 0-Coast). The lack of CV control is a bit of an oversight as is the absence of even a basic MIDI implementation. At that price point you're getting awfully close to MakeNoise territory, without some of the features.
