Page 2: ...ed results 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 We hope that this guide will help you better understand how to patch Mavis and learn interesting new techniques for patching it as you ge...

Page 5: ...the pitch A related effect to vibrato which moves the pitch up and down is tremolo which moves the volume up and down MAKE THIS CONNECTION Patch the LFO output to the VCA CV input Now you can hear the volume move up and down in time with the LFO even when no key is pressed This is because now the LFO signal is controlling the volume instead of the envelope generator ByturningthefilterCUTOFFknobcom...

Page 7: ...and get some more motion in our patch By patching the S H output to the LFO RATE the S H will change the rate of the LFO Higher S H values will turn the LFO rate up while lower values will turn it down MAKE THIS CONNECTION We can use the MULT to patch the S H output to two places at once The MULT is a simple utility allowing you to patch one output to multiple inputs Patch the S H output post atte...

Page 12: ... output is normalled to this input The saw wave VCO is a good choice since at audio rate it can provide an even range of voltages to be sampled while the pulse wave can restrict the sampled voltages to either the high or low voltage values of the VCO signal You can replace the VCO with the VCA output for more flavors of randomness while replacing with the LFO or EG will provide slower signals to s...
