Do you need both a Mother 32 and a Mavis? How do they complement or contrast one another? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm not going to go over all the features and specs, I'm just interested in how they sound. How much overlap is there?

Note that the LFO on Mother doesn't go nearly as far into audio rate as the Mavis does, and doesn't track as well, so I gave up on doing a "two oscillator mode" comparison. Didn't seem fair.

Sequence is just me banging keys on an Arturia Keystep 37.
