Sonicware LIVEN Ambient Ø and Prophet Rev2 | Dreamy ambient experimentation [NO TALK]

video upload by Le Code

"Two worlds meet for an ambient improvisation: on the one hand, Sonicware's LIVEN Ambient Ø plays random notes, and on the other, the soundscape pads played by Sequential's Prophet Rev2. With these two machines, it's possible to create rather convincing soundscapes, perhaps with the addition of extra effects on the LIVEN Ambient Ø, which sounds a little dry here."

LIVEN Ambient Ø, Moog DFAM, Generation Loss MK2, MICROCOSM | Aurora Spectrum 2025-01-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using ‪@SONICWARE‬ LIVEN Ambient Ø and the ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog DFAM. The basic structure is built with Ambient Ø and performed using its built-in keyboard. It synchronizes with the DFAM via SYNC to produce rhythms. The DFAM is routed through the ‪@HologramElectronics‬ MICROCOSM, adding reverb while using a looper. ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ Generation Loss MK2 transforms the overall sound of Ambient Ø into a lo-fi atmosphere."

Berlin School Ambient-ish Jam - Zoom R8, Gen R-8, ELZ_1 play, PSS-380

video upload by ChrisLody

"Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware and Stylophone on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text, video manuals, promo content etc. This video wasn't paid for directly but as a result of my work with Sonicware and Stylophone it is marked as Paid Promotion

So I feel very lucky this year to have worked with a few wonderful companies, mainly Sonicware and Stylophone. Obviously I've been sent the gear I've worked on for Sonicware as you'll see it all over my channel, but also Stylophone were very nice to me and sent me a Gen R-8 from their vaults!

I'm also lucky that my wife (and in-laws) appreciates my second job/hobby and buys me music gear for Christmas, that's where the Zoom R8 multitrack recorder I'm using here came from. I bought a Zoom Livetrak L-6 this year for my dawless jams which I love, but it records all it's channel simultaneously so layering is not possible. Layering is an interesting way of working which I've often used on the channel with a four track tape recorder, mixer and a send effect (most often a Zoom 1201), but this replaces the need for all that with a lot more features to boot.

What surprised me the most about the R8 is that you can record, mix and even master a whole track without relying on a DAW. All effects etc you hear are the R8 alone here. It has a send reverb slot, a send chorus/delay slot and then a single insert effects chain. The insert effect can only be doing one thing at once so you'll typically record through it onto an audio track or you can record dry and re-record (bounce) through it later if you prefer. There are a number of algorithms which are just a number of effects slots in a chain which can be configured to your liking. You switch algorithms, channel, contents and settings or preset of the insert effect depending what you need it for and when. This information is not well presented in the manual though so I geeked out and made a spreadsheet to show more simply which algorithms can contain which type of effect and which can be synced to tempo. That's available here: https://mega.nz/file/quxm3CoD#H1-u2Db... (I printed and laminated these, yes I know how to nerd)

Perhaps the only let down about the R8 is there's no sync options, though it's not really expecting you to work that way. You can have the metronome on headphones only which may be the way to do things, but I suspect I end up recording and panning a click from a Volca/Liven as a way around this.

By the way the small glockenspiel was part of my present from my in-laws. I've never had much luck recording them because of the huge spike in volume when the bar is hit (transient) so I almost gave up, but after studying the effects I saw the R8 has a 'slow attack' effect which was perfect for this as it completely kills the clackiness of the hit. Nice one. I'm recording through one of the two built in mics for that btw.

A quick word about the Stylophone Gen R-8, it's a dirty little beast. It's been kind of wild to get to grips with and I'm finding it's not suited to quite a lot of patches I'd normally make, smooth basses are out of the question for example because it sounds like the oscillator resets at the start of each new note (maybe the envelope, idk) so there's always a percussive click. Plus the filter sound is agro with settings that would normally tame it, it refuses to be calm. But for more aggressive tones it's very nice so I'll probably use it mostly for that!"

Dream Machine | Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø | New Set of 36 Songs

video upload by Sonic Cartography

"I haven’t had time to make videos for my channel for a while because I’ve been making Ambient Ø tutorials for the ‪@SONICWARE‬ channel’s Beginner’s Guide series. In the meantime, I’ve been accumulating lots of songs and song ideas on the synth. This is a set of most of them (some in abbreviated form), which I’m releasing all at once to sort of “clear the vault” and feel like I can start afresh with making new music. Unlike the previous collection I did, this one contains some actual ambient music—particularly the middle section. I'm not totally happy with how some of these turned out, but I'm trying to learn how to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good (enough), so I'm just going to publish this anyway... "

Sonicware LIVEN Ambient Ø | First try [no talking]

video upload by Le Code

"I just received the LIVEN Ambient Ø from Sonicware, and tested it with an improvised track.

The synth separates into 4 distinct tracks: I've sequenced the Drone and Pad layers, and play with the Atmos and Noise. I've deliberately chosen to play with low and medium frequencies to make it a melodic track, but less atmospheric than my usual sounds."
