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.

Tags
Products that send, receive or process Musical Instrument Digital Interface data. MIDI carries performance and control information rather than audio, allowing keyboards, synthesisers, sequencers, computers and other equipment to play and synchronise with one another.
Instruments capable of playing multiple notes or voices at the same time. Polyphony supports chords, layered pads and overlapping notes, although the available voice count and how voices are allocated vary between instruments.
Products with dedicated note, rhythm, MIDI or control-voltage sequencing capabilities. A sequencer records or generates musical events and sends them to internal sounds or connected instruments, often providing step programming, pattern chaining and performance controls.
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.
