Description
The Sonicware LIVEN Texture Lab is a cutting-edge 4-voice polyphonic synthesizer that pushes the boundaries of sound creation. With the ability to record up to 32 samples each up to 6 seconds long this versatile synthesizer allows you to generate grains from any part of a sample and synthesize them using two modulation sources and an envelope generator. Additionally you can process your sound through various filter types to further shape your sonic landscape. It also features an onboard step sequencer inherited from the original LIVEN synthesizer with in-depth control and parameter locking. Not only does the Texture Lab excel as a synthesizer but it also functions as an effects processor offering real-time granular processing of stereo signals from the line input. With a freeze function that allows you to capture and manipulate sounds for up to six seconds you can effortlessly add unique and granulated sound effects to your compositions. The Sonicware LIVEN Texture Lab gives you the power to explore a wide range of sound textures from ethereal ambient pads to experimental noise. Utilizing a granular processor this synthesizer slices sounds into grains and reconstructs them in mesmerizing ways. Take control with 10 intuitive knobs allowing you to manipulate grain shape density time warp spatial position and playback method resulting in entirely new and captivating sounds. It also comes complete with genre-defying sounds with presets curated by leading sound designers and musicians. 128-step sequencer with advanced controls and parameter locking The Sonicware LIVEN Texture Lab boasts a highly efficient 128-step sequencer renowned for its outstanding performance. This sequencer has earned the LIVEN series a strong reputation among music enthusiasts. Not only can it record notes but it also has the capability to capture changes in granular processing parameters throughout a piece. With this feature you can create intricate sound textures by either recording real-time knob operations or directly assigning parameters to specific steps. This versatility allows for the creation of complex and dynamic musical compositions. Portable and versatile synth – with onboard speaker The compact yet powerful design of the LIVEN Texture Lab makes it perfect for musicians on the move or in the studio. Its compact enclosure will easily fit within a backpack and the built-in speaker means you can jam out anywhere you go. It can also be operated via battery power adding to its portability.
