The LIVEN Bass and Beats, how is it to use it?

[@TrueTempleDog]

Thanks, man, your 8bit Warps demo is my go-to for getting sorted on Sonicware's joints. REALLY digging what you're doing in these tutorial/review synths, nice, quick, and to the point. Keep on doing whatcha do!

[@firstandlast4415]

This is fantastic. You have made this easy to follow and very well explained. Thank you so much bud.

[@Woochia]

You're welcome!

[@aloisroger2300]

Thank you very much! I‘m looking forward to your probably following „in deep“ video!..

[@validcore]

Helpful vid. Does more than you realize at first.

[@lbarnett748]

1.4 note measure gets 16 bars of 4 counts but it’s slower but great for slower bass or strings grooves. But those wave tables locked in the sequencer will give several basslines on each steps. I have the xfm and worps. Just contemplating getting this too. Aha. Nice demo man. 👍

[@jimwolfgang9433]

Yes my friend, I did like your presentation. Look forward to checking out your other content. Nice work indeed 👍🙏😎

[@Woochia]

Thanks !

[@jimwolfgang9433]

Welcome. Have you ever used a Roland R8? I can remember getting so familiar with that drum machine that I could build and record a tune "live", with drum rolls and pitch shifts - I think it had that... anyway. And also a Dr Rythym 660. Memories!

[@budokaiboy]

Thank you for this!

[@ALTARBEATZ]

Thank you!

[@troixjohnson9306]

OOOOOOOOOoooooooo....Great Teaching

[@rhampton1914]

9:00 is when i was sold...im getting one

[@lbarnett748]

Is there more than 2 parts then. I hear the bassline and beats and also a chord pad and string plug if so can they be played melodically as well.

[@Woochia]

It's only 2 parts, but you can automate the sound you use for every step, so it could be bass on step 1, lead on steps 2 and 3, etc. Some of the presets are very cleverly made though to give the illusion of even more instruments

[@lbarnett748]

@@Woochia that’s good to know thanks 😊

[@kethergenesis1090]

Do you recommend buying this over the Volca Bass (just for bass)?

[@Woochia]

Well, it's 2 different things. The volca bass is simple to use but does only one thing: some TB-303-style basslines. If you like acid techno or acid house, it's cool for acid lines. The liven bass and beats is a bit more complicated, but you can design basses a lot more with it. You can select which parameters you attach to the macros in the performance mode. It's more versatile but the learning curve is steeper

[@Drumsdude123]

Is it possible to load samples?

[@ryanstevens3822]

so if something has drums + something else is it a groovebox?

[@aplusimagery5271]

Yes

[@Woochia]

Pretty much yes. If a machine has several tracks and one of them is drums, that allows you to build a song, so that's a groovebox

[@aplusimagery5271]

Thank you for this video , I bought the Lofi 12 & this at same time a few days ago and as someone who is not super experienced I’ll take the bass & beats hands down The Lofi 12 has me utterly lost and confused and no video has helped lol , B.A.S.S. & beats I made 2 sick flows on tonight in 30 minutes first time ever picking the thing up Considering returning the Lofi for sure

[@Woochia]

I find what you say quite funny as I found the Lofi-12 a lot simpler to use x) but I guess that's mostly how each person use each machine, matter of feeling ^^

[@bigmaz4002]

Can it save tracks for live playback? Like if I wanted to use this as drums and bass and I play guitar…

[@Woochia]

It has a line input, but I don't think this one can actually record. You can use it as a mixer to have a bass, a drum and another instrument, but I don't think you can use it as a sampler to record loops with the external instrument.

[@VCUQIMS]

I can't seem to get audio out of the headphone jack to my audio interface?

[@Woochia]

Do you have audio if you plug a headphone or only when you plug it in your audio interface ?

[@enslavedbyvegetables3407]

I got to tell you. I’m more confused with this one than I one with the X FM. I’m literally following step-by-step what you’re doing and I am not getting the same results lol.

[@Woochia]

That's a reminder I need to make my complete tutorial. I have several synth reviews planned, among them are the livens I haven't tutorials for

[@jew.f.o.noisesculptor4758]

Did you try yelling at it?

[@monaaarks7554]

Elle sonne bien

[@Luckystarmtg]

🙏📿

[@dinogoldie9716]

No, you're a "ducking knob." ;) But seriously, thanks for this great walkthrough. Maybe the Liven Bass & Beats isn't as scary as I first thought. Time to get it out its packaging and give it a second chance.

[@dinogoldie9716]

​@Marx Man So...reading between the lines, diving deep for subtext and sensing those super subliminals, I get the merest hint of an impression that you're not a fan?

[@Woochia]

@Marx Man: The manual is indeed daunting. Very technical, and not always easy to read. But I think that once you know the machine, you can play around very well. And for the live set, I would prepare the set a lot before going on stage with it. I find myself pausing a lot to create a sound and patterns. But when the song is prepared, it's fun to play with it.

[@Woochia]

@Dino Goldie: hahaha!

[@claroushkakatoes8630]

First 🥇

[@EgorKomarov-s2p]

Sounds cheap

[@BendApparatus]

Well it is... originally $199 they've gone up a few $$. It's for fun, not really professional work. Though these days anything flies really...
