Moog Mavis | Reviews THE PROS & CONS + Compact all-in-one or add it to a Eurorack rig Classic Moog tones with wavefolding Versatile patching possibilities - Control knobs may be too small for some tastes L et’s start by looking at the physicality of Mavis. An obvious comparison can be drawn with Moog’s Werkstat, in that they both follow very similar design ethos.

Moog Mavis | Reviews PACK IT IN: Mavis packs a lot into its fairly diminutive form, including an extensive patch bay and a playable keyboard a part of the classic Moog setup. The envelope generator is of the ADSR variety and ranges from snappy to long lasting. You won’t find features like looping or latching here but again, I think that can be forgiven at this price point and there’s a lot you can do with an ADSR envelope alone.
