An immaculate boxed example of the Sonicware Liven Mega Synthesis.
The LIVEN MEGA SYNTHESIS is a retro-style game music groovebox developed in collaboration with the renowned composer Yuzo Koshiro. It offers the ability to faithfully recreate the iconic sound of the world’s first 16-bit game consoles. This device stands out for its ability to create multi-layered and original grooves across six tracks by combining three legendary sound engines from the early 1980s.
You’ll experience a fusion of the sounds of the famous YM2612 chip and the distinctive tones of the SN76489 from Texas Instruments, which was used in many early digital game consoles – most notably the SEGA Megadrive – and is familiar from numerous retro games. This blend is complemented by a sampling engine that can switch between 8 and 4-bit modes, with a maximum sampling time of 8 seconds, selectable at 48, 24 or 12 kHz.
The combination of these three unique sound generators with the tried-and-tested sound-shaping tools of the Liven series (filters, envelopes, sweep function), a powerful sequencer, a versatile arpeggiator and an extensive range of effects – available for both individual tracks and the overall signal – opens up endless creative possibilities. A journey through time into the future of retro music!
