@@RobbekenSynthMusic Oh, I definitely know what you mean - same reason I'd ordered one of these for myself. I'm still waiting on a delayed shipment, but these tunes provide enough good listening to tide me over :D
Same goes for yourself! Thank you very much for giving me listen. I’ve learned a lot from what you’ve shown on this machine. I’ve tried a few of the Liven synthesizers, but this one really gets me to the sounds I’ve been after easy.
@@RobbekenSynthMusic Yes it feels pretty slick to use to me too, mostly because of the decision to remove the Shift knob. I would usually dive in and make new sounds every time I write something too but there's so many good presets by the other sound designers that I haven't felt the need since it launched
@ChrisLodyMusic yeah, maybe getting rid of that shift knob made the workflow even faster. It felt like having a func AND shift was redundant before, but maybe couldn’t really be helped with the amount of functions on some the other Livens. Either way, I think this one is a big improvement and is particularly nostalgic for me!
This was great! I hear many familiar games in there. 👌😎 Megadrive played the big part of the sound of my childhood. I think this might be 'must have' box at some point. 🙌
@@RobbekenSynthMusic Yeah, FM is great! I have Volca FM and I'm trying to figure our how or where could I find iconic Megadrive sounds for that. But enjoy the Mega Synthesis! Looking forward to hear more of these. 🎶✨🙂
I loved 0:56 which reminded me of the Unreal ost, because of the sliding lead. 6:40 also was confirmation that this thing can handle some heavy 16-bit metal really well. I'm excited to get my hands on this. Great job!!!
Yep! It’s from a shoot ‘em up by Toaplan that had a 1991 Megadrive release in the west. The introduction became infamous for the text’s poor English translation and so did the music; which like much Megadrive music rips, thankfully.
If you wanted to use it with a DAW you would need a way to send MIDI data to your PC with a USB/MIDI cable, a USB MIDI hub, or an audio interface that has a MIDI port. For example, I have an Elektron Syntakt. If I were to use a DAW, I could send MIDI over USB into the Syntakt then over a standard 5-pin MIDI cable into the Liven. All depends on your setup! Whatever you do, you’d need a cable or something between the Liven and your DAW for them to communicate.
Brilliant set of jams - real creative stuff! I could believe that any of these were for actual games back on the Megadrive :D
Thank you very much! Most all of my music is very influenced by that era of games. Time and place kind of thing.

You've been busy 😁 These are excellent

Same! I’m still in love with these old FM sounds. Thank you for listening!

At 3.33. And 6.15 minute it sounds so good i love it.
: )
Those are one’s I’m particularly proud of. Thank you!
good good!
@@kuchnia5461 thanks!
waiting to get mine on the march batch
Nice!
I hope you like it a lot!
@@RobbekenSynthMusic you got me excited great jams you did
All your base are belong to us!
This was a really good jam session, great work! 😎
WHAT YOU SAY!!
Thanks! All for fun. Have a nice day!
1:44 is my favourite. Closely followed by 3:33 and 6:40. Good work all round.
Thanks a bunch!
I really liked making that polymeter at 3:33 too. It’s pretty easy to set different pattern lengths and scales per part on this.
I loved 0:56 which reminded me of the Unreal ost, because of the sliding lead. 6:40 also was confirmation that this thing can handle some heavy 16-bit metal really well. I'm excited to get my hands on this. Great job!!!
@@GeorgeL909that with the distortion effect can get heavy heavy.
Fantastic!
Thanks! I had fun making these.
The music at 6:40 sounds brilliant! Is that from a game?
Yep!
It’s from a shoot ‘em up by Toaplan that had a 1991 Megadrive release in the west. The introduction became infamous for the text’s poor English translation and so did the music; which like much Megadrive music rips, thankfully.
I noticed it has a midi out... how does this work with a DAW?
If you wanted to use it with a DAW you would need a way to send MIDI data to your PC with a USB/MIDI cable, a USB MIDI hub, or an audio interface that has a MIDI port.
For example, I have an Elektron Syntakt.

@@RobbekenSynthMusic noice... i have an mpc one that should do it!
this thing sounds terrible
FM, Baby!
Thanks for listening.
Thats the point, dmomlover
