Sonicware develops compact LIVEN instruments and portable production boxes that combine synthesis, sampling and sequencing. The catalogue includes LIVEN LoFi-12, 8bit warps, XFM, Bass & Beats, Evoke and Ambient, plus the SmplTrek sampler and Deconstruct. Different models focus on lo-fi sampling, FM, wavetable or performance-oriented groovebox workflows, so the name alone does not define the sound engine. Sonicware suits mobile writers and electronic producers who want pattern creation, effects and hands-on control in compact hardware.

Explore hardware synthesisers for sound design, performance and music production. This collection includes analogue, digital, hybrid, FM and wavetable instruments in keyboard, desktop and modular formats. Compare the synthesis method, polyphony, keybed, sequencer, effects and MIDI or CV connectivity to find an instrument that fits your studio, live setup and preferred way of creating sounds.
Tags
Products using analogue sound-generation or signal-processing circuitry, also commonly written as analog. Analogue instruments shape continuously varying electrical signals and are often chosen for direct controls, natural variation and a character that responds organically to performance and modulation.
Hardware designed for creating and sequencing electronic drum and percussion patterns. Tagged products may generate sounds through analogue circuitry, digital synthesis, samples or a hybrid design, with different approaches to programming and performance.
Self-contained electronic instruments designed for building patterns, beats and complete musical ideas. Grooveboxes usually combine a sequencer with drums, synthesis or sampling so that music can be created and performed with little or no reliance on a computer.
Products that record, load, manipulate or perform with sampled audio. This includes compact sample players and more advanced production instruments with editing, sequencing, effects and storage for creating kits, loops, textures and complete arrangements.
Products centred on electronic sound generation and synthesis. This tag brings together keyboard, desktop, modular and performance instruments that create or substantially shape their own sounds rather than serving only as controllers.
