You can turn down or up the Shimmer reverb, and it has basically different āspaceā reverbs.
The grainular EFX designer is particularly interesting. Can build your own emitter basically.
Thereās a free plugin that does that, cant remember its name. Goes down the octaves instead of up.
Still sounds like total bollocks though.
Some do sound goodā¦ Korgās āSubmarineā algorithm and the Mercury 7 pedal are great.

it only feels more racist every year that passes.
This is the first Liven Product that has really appealed to me. Looking forward to seeing more demos of how people use it!
I think thatās their strategy. Release multiple versions of the same hardware with slightly different software.
I do like what they are doing. The xfm and lofi are pretty good. The beats was meh. Iām maybe not being fair to it, but I didnāt like it.
I was hoping theyād release a pure effects box to lift up some of the effects limitations within the other boxes. This comes close.

I like it. Not a shimmer fan at all but the fact you can dial it out is good. For the price and form factor, itās very cool. And it has a few more tricks up its sleeve than previous Livens and some upgrades, as well. Sonicware seem like a company that are learning and improving as they grow and I expect great things from them in the future. Waiting on price and specs for Tempera but this goes on the list.

Preordered! I love all my Sonicware gear. They are underrated.

I was hoping that the whole array of keys could be a keyboard, but it seems you only have a piano roll and then control how emitters apply with the rest of the grid. Iāll still watch the Tempera.
This looks/sounds fantastic for that price. Runs on batteries too, I think I might have to get one of these to sit on the sofa/out in a field/by the sea.

This is why I like them. I leave my Elektron gear at home and take the Livens on the road. Less expensive if they get damaged or stolen.

I havenāt been able to watch anything about the new microfreak granular capabilities yet, but was curious if anyone else had and had any thoughts on how they compare to the texture lab. I think the texture lab looks really interesting, but Iām wondering if Iād end up getting more use out of the mf

I think the Liven is very focused on granular alone. The granular specific settings are more separated on the Liven and you have a built in Shimmer reverb.
