Sonicware LIVEN 8-BIT Warps Groovebox

General

To get an idea of the kind of sounds that the Sonicware LIVEN 8-BIT Warps groovebox is home to, we have to take a trip back to the eighties when home computers were still young. While first-gen PCs couldn't do all that much in terms of sound, what they did do has since sparked the imagination of retro-inspired music producers. As such, Sonicware have literally bottled the sound of home computers of the eighties and wrapped it all up in modern functionality.

The Sound of the Sonicware LIVEN 8-BIT Warps Groovebox

To start, you can select waveforms from the preset list, draw in a custom waveform or use one generated by one of the built-in engines. The sonic character is every bit as gritty as you'd want it to be, and can be shaped further using the provided bunch of filters and effects like delay, chorus, and reverb. Since this is definitely a groovebox, it also comes loaded with sequencing with step-time and more than enough space for extensive sequences, as well as more than enough storage memory. With this level of retro-focussed creativity at your fingertips, this is definitely a niche unit built with niche producers in mind.
