Liven Mega Synthesis - Can it Black Metal?

Just getting the hang of sequencing on the Sonicware Liven Mega Synthesis. Having fun with some raw 16 bit action, no fx added.

Damn that rocks pretty hard 😮

Finally! This is exactly what I was looking for. I just git one of these things myself actually.

[@GeorgeL909]

Yeah! I love the mega synthesis. While a lot of the sound design stuff is kinda buried under the overlay, it's one of my favorite sequencers at the moment because of the SH101 style step auto-advance mode. I love just punching in notes and having no idea what it's gonna actually sound like until I hit play. That and the 128 steps makes it feel super fast coming up with ideas and layering sequences. The only thing I have that's close is the mc101, but l found that one is way better for unquantized live recording, and this is way more fun for grid based step sequencing (kind of like sequencing on old trackers).

Dude in your hands a cheese grater can black metal

[@GeorgeL909]

Bahaha you're too kind ... *Quickly rushes into the kitchen*

[@sam_bibly]

looks like nope. whatever this is sounds cool tho!

[@GeorgeL909]

Well... I tried. If you liked the sound though, you might enjoy the full track. I'll link it the comment. I sampled the patterns into the sp404 and added effects, and eventually vocals. I feel like the 404s effects really bring the synth to life, pushing it beyond the 16-bit sound palette. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4i2Y5uDqaaLZrssi=_ObdhjBu9f6l0ms2

@@GeorgeL909 haha i like the idea and the track, i don't think it sounds like black metal but honestly i think you made something totally new sounding, to me that's pretty cool

[@GeorgeL909]

@@sam_bibly hey! I'll take it! Hard to make something original these days, so that's a huge compliment. Very much appreciate the listen 🌝

[@Markotraficante]

Is this a cover?

[@GeorgeL909]

No, it's the building blocks of what eventually became the song "Broken by Time". This was just a quick short I sloppily recorded as part of the composition process. It's an original song though. You can hear the full version here if you want with all the vocals and effects added from the sp404: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4i2Y5uDqaaLZrssi=K0J7-kpAv-rBPv3b
