The LIVEN Ambient Ø from Sonicware is a digital synthesizer for ambient and drone sounds with a sequencer. The wavetable-based sound generation is based on six oscillator combinations with a fixed structure, which are ultimately used to create the sound. The fourth track, respectively Layer, is designed for noisy sounds and is the only layer that can sample itself and integrate the audio material into the musical creation process. Each of the four layers/tracks is equipped withits own envelope, multimode filter and two LFOs. Finally, there are two surprisingly good-sounding effect blocks. The sonic focus is clearly on layered, meandering sounds, which are particularly well suited to slow, atmospheric music and offer a high degree of musical usability in this context. Heavy staccato and baller basslines, on the other hand, are not the strength of this compact groovebox. The built-in loudspeaker and alternative battery operation (6x AA batteries) are ideal for anyone who wants to make music wherever they are. There are MIDI inputs and outputs as well as analogue Sync In & Out for connecting to other equipment and synchronizing the

The fourth layer, Noise, contains a digital noise generator with eight variants, the pitch of which can also be modulated. As an alternative to noise, this layer is the only one capable of sampling up to eight seconds of audio material and integrating it into the creative process. Instead of sampling directly on the device, you can import a sample via
