Minimal Ambient with Gentle Electronic Tones | Shimmering Lines 2026-05-05 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"An ambient piece composed of gentle electronic sounds.

This work is created with ‪@SONICWARE‬ LIVEN Ambient Ø and ‪@somasynths‬ LYRA-8.

On Ambient Ø, phrases centered on sine waves are looped. Hand-played phrases are occasionally added.

On the LYRA-8, deep reverb is applied through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, and the performance includes moments where modulation delay is fed back."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #150: Modal Skulpt - Song 2

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the second, quite relaxing recording with the Modal Skulpt. It is a unique sounding, little 4-voice polyphonic virtual analogue synthesizer. The size of the Modal Skulpt is somewhere between the Korg Volca and the Sonicware Liven.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals: Boss Slicer SL-2, Hologram Microcosm, Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"

Sonicware ELZ_1 #synthesizer/looper - "SPACE:1979" #SONICWARE_Challenge

video upload by Robert Saint John

"It took some time to master the workflow of the ‪@SONICWARE‬ ELZ_1 Play synth, but it was absolutely worth it. The size is small, but the sound is big, and I couldn’t have had a better way to ride out the snowstorm this weekend.

Big shoutout to folks like ‪@ChrisLodyMusic‬ and ‪@nicafelt‬ whose videos and guides make the learning curve much easier, on top of Sonicware’s own excellent documentation.
