"The flagship Moog synthesizer of the original US company, circa 1984. This is the rare Memorymoog Plus. There is nothing like it for raw analogue sound; having 3 VCOs, polymod, polyglide, noise + 100 memories. Imagine the sound of 18 oscillators in Unison mode.....??? Is this the best of the bunch from the 1980s? We think so....the Oberheim OB-8 (see pix) comes a close second, however.... Many musos maintain that it still outperforms the Moog One - the flagship of today's US company. OK, it is only 6-voice poly, the keyboard has no velocity/aftertouch, and no FX on board; nevertheless, it is incredibly simplistic in operation, with no sub-menus etc to confuse the issue...with clear knobs & switches......"

"The instrument was restored in 2019 by Andy from Synthprof in the UK, including full recap. It was fully tested after restoration, both systematically and in actual studio work. The top and rear panels, sockets, buttons and displays are in perfect condition: they look great, and work impeccably. The wooden sides exhibit some scratches, mostly near their rear edge. This is a 240v unit."

How To Make FM Formant Growl Bass Sounds on Sonicware Liven XFM - Accessible Tutorial
video upload by ChrisLody ChrisLody
"I was planning a different tutorial today but after being asked if this was possible I got a bit obsessed with working it out last night so thanks to Dino Goldie for prompting me to make this video. I find pretty much all aspects of sound design interesting and I've always wondered how these FM bass sounds were synthesized so I'm glad I looked into it, the XFM is pretty good at them!
As I say in the video this is designed to be an accessible tutorial as the Liven series has attracted a few visually impaired users. Let me know if this was clear and easy to understand or I totally messed it up :)"

"Although the unit is from Japan, the power board has been converted to the US voltage. No need to use a step-down transformer with it."
