- Page 1 Mavis Patching with Intention Get started with patching techniques, explore deeper synthesis concepts, and understand full patchbay functionality...
- Page 2 Other times, however, you may want to patch with some intention. Perhaps you have a sound in mind that you would like Mavis to approximate, or an idea may strike you while falling asleep: “I wonder what would happen if I patched the VCO to the Filter Cutoff...”...
- Page 3 Initialized Patch Before getting started, match your Mavis to the initialized patch settings above. You should be able to press one of the keyboard keys and hear a note. Find full patch point descriptions on pages 11-14 reference as you move through the patching exercises.

This patch, however, is already present in octaves! Since that is likely too extreme for Mavis’s internal routing. After unpatching most uses, Mavis has an attenuator, which everything, all you need to do is set the is like a volume knob for a control voltage. - Page 5 Each key corresponds By turning the filter CUTOFF knob completely to a precise voltage to recreate a chromatic counterclockwise we can then silence Mavis scale. when no key is pressed.

- Page 10 Further Exploration Now that you have some intuition for how Mavis’s patch bay can be used, feel free to start exploring it on your own. Remember: there is no wrong way to patch—it’s all music at the end of the day.

Plugging any signal in here will patch it through the wave folder (FOLD knob) and then directly to the filter. Experiment with both the VCO and LFO (at audio rate) patched here, and play with their respective waveshapes and the FOLD...

- Page 13 (10V peak to peak), at a frequency and shape determined by PITCH, VCO WAVE, PULSE WIDTH, and any modulation. You can use the VCO to do audio rate modulation of any of Mavis’s parameters, or patch it to FOLD IN to explore wave folding. Outputs | 13...
- Page 14 (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release). Like the LFO, it is internally routed to many parts of Mavis, but you can also use it as an S+H input or patch it to the LFO RATE to increase and decrease the LFO rate over the course of the envelope.
