Groove machine with granular synthesizer and step sequencer - Used
The SONICWARE LIVEN Texture Lab (Used) is a used groove machine that combines granular synthesis, sampling, an effects processor, and a sequencer into a single compact instrument. Tested and in perfect working order, it’s an ideal solution for sound designers, producers, and experimental musicians who want to create unique sound textures, ambient soundscapes, and effects that are impossible to achieve with traditional synthesizers.
At the heart of the LIVEN Texture Lab is a powerful granular synthesis engine capable of breaking down any sample into micro-fragments ranging from 2 milliseconds to 1 second. Each granule can be transformed and reconstructed by adjusting its position, density, shape, direction, and playback speed, giving rise to drones, evolving pads, glitches, cinematic atmospheres, and entirely new sonic experiments.
The main parameters of granular synthesis are always accessible via ten physical controls, allowing you to shape the sound in real time without interrupting the creative flow.
Texture Lab allows you to record up to 32 samples, each with a maximum duration of 6 seconds. The sound engine is 4-voice polyphonic and features two modulation sources, a dedicated envelope, and various filter types, offering extensive flexibility in both synthesis and sample manipulation.
In addition to functioning as a synthesizer, the LIVEN Texture Lab can process stereo signals from the audio input in real time. You can also “freeze” up to six seconds of audio and instantly transform it into spectacular granular textures.
The six stereo reverb algorithms feature an evocative Shimmer effect, ideal for creating expansive, ethereal, and cinematic soundscapes. The reverb can be applied to both internal sounds and signals from external audio inputs.
The LIVEN series sequencer allows you to record not only notes but also all variations in granular synthesis parameters. Automations can be recorded in real time or programmed directly on individual steps, enabling extremely complex and dynamic sonic evolutions.
Inspired by the principles of granular synthesis developed by composer Iannis Xenakis, the LIVEN Texture Lab is a tool designed for those who want to explore new sonic languages. From ambient pads to cinematic textures, glitches, soundscapes, and IDM productions, it offers a virtually inexhaustible creative universe, thanks in part to presets created by internationally renowned sound designers.
