My First Jam with the Sonicware Liven Mega Synthesis

[@hobbowizardanimations]

People complaining about Sonicware liven don't get it. They're amazing this jam proves it ;)

[@drabmongoose]

Thanks 🙏 I’ve heard the saying “It’s not the tool, it’s how you use it” but Sonicware has some cool tools! Nice animations btw, just subbed 👍

Ordered one during the third round of shipments, ships out Feb 5th. Stellar jam! this makes me so excited for mine. I've been a fan of electronic music, synths and Sega for a long time!

[@drabmongoose]

Nice! I'm a fan of those Sega sounds too. I also modified a Gameboy that I use with LSDJ and Nanoloop, I'll have to make some videos soon. I’ll keep an eye out for your posts. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!

[@kanduvisla]

I was thinking: are all these variations in one pattern? But then I saw you switching to different patterns everytime. Let me guess: the name of every pattern is "P2.01"? 😛 I got my unit today in the mail, can't wait to give it a spin!

[@drabmongoose]

Yeah they're all named the same. I need to clean that up so I can remember what's what! 😆 Nice man, it's a fun little synth.

[@ricflairslastdoobie7605]

I'm new to the groovebox world, what types of cables and speakers would be preferable for this setup?

[@drabmongoose]

It really depends on how you want your setup. When I make a beat with the Mega I just use a set of headphones (I’m currently using an old pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x). When I record to my comp I use the Universal Audio Volt 476P as my audio interface. The Volt connects to my laptop using a USB-C cable and the Mega connects to the Volt using a splitter cable (1/8 inch TRS Stereo to Dual 1/4 inch TS Mono Y-Splitter Cable) in order to record both left and right channels simultaneously. If you want to sync with other devices you’ll need a midi cable or a sync cable (1/8 TS Male to 1/8 TS Male) depending on what you’re syncing to. For speakers to start with I recommend something in the Yamaha HS Series or KRK Rokit Series in whatever size you prefer. Hope this helps!
