Sonicware Liven Bass&Beats
Flowing with gnarl, grit, and passionate rhythm, the Bass&Beats from Sonicware's LIVEN lineup is an all-in-one system for designing killer bass patches and banging drum grooves for any style of electronic music. The Liven Bass&Beats features both a wavetable synthesizer with loads of sonic sculpting and sequenceable parameters and a PCM-based drum and percussion engine, designed to meet the electronic musical landscapes of today and the future. Essential for today's dance-centric electronic music, the Liven Bass&Beats provides loads of modern-sounding presets and drum kits, advanced editing and sculpting tools, and a killer sequencer for putting everything together for whatever genre or sound you're looking to make.
The onboard wavetable synthesizer offers 64 morphable wavetables built-in with an option to even load your own wavetables for a personalized touch. In addition to having two sets of wavetable oscillators for mangling, you are also provided with a flexible sub-oscillator along with a noise generator with 16 unique noise flavors to choose from. The oscillators are mixed down into a multimode resonant filter to carve and shape your sonic timbre while the LFO, envelope generators, and two assignable knobs modulate and add movement to your synth parameters. The monophonic nature can be left in a single voice for tamer and more centered bass and lead patches, or you can turn it into unison mode for thicker super-wavetables and is complemented by the dimension parameter for adding spatial depth to your sounds. Finalize your sound with edge and bite by introducing the dedicated distortion for maximizing harmonic content.
The drum engine of the Liven Bass&Beats provides a whopping 350+ sounds to mangle and sequence for adding rhythm and groove to your tracks. Although there are genre-specified kits made to best complement whatever style you're going for, the Liven Bass&Beats offers tons of user slots for designing your own kits with fully flexible sound parameters like level, envelope, pitch, and much more. Both the "bass" and "beats" side meet together at an easy-to-use mixer section with individual sends to a reverb alongside mixing in external stereo sources. Sum both down with one of 12 available master effects for adding a final touch of crush, room, filtering, or whatever you need to glue everything together. Additionally, there is a sidechain unit built-in to apply ducking to the bass via an external input or internal drum such as the kick to get a classic pumping effect and clean up mix issues.
Liven Bass&Beat's sequencer offers many of the same features found in other Sonicware devices, granting access to fully functional 64-step pattern creation per instrument with over 128 patterns to save and recall. Pattern creation is highly elastic with per-track subdivision for longer patterns, tied notes for making dynamic bass and leads, and even parameter-locking on a per-step basis to have wildly complex sound mangling within one simple pattern. Create full songs with chainable pattern playback functionality alongside sequencer effects like step-stuttering and random step playback for injecting even more life and interest into your patterns and songs. With loads of more parameters and settings to explore as well as highly adaptable integration capabilities such as MIDI and analog sync, the Sonicware Liven Bass&Beats brings the groove and rhythm your tracks crave.
