In this Bloom Music video, Donald Jordan gives an in-depth review of the new Moog Mavis synthesizer.

Mavis is a DIY synth (no soldering required) that offers an affordable, but powerful, synth voice, with classic Moog sound. It can be used as a standalone synth, or removed from its case to be used as a 24-point CV-controllable 44HP Eurorack module.

Jordan says that it’s a bargain and an excellent sounding synth, but that its relatively rigid audio path means that it’s much more interesting when used as part of modular system.
