Wavetable Synth Engine
Unleash our wavetable engine to create thick basslines that fit into all genres.
Combine wavetable modulation and our rich resonant filter to create satisfying growls and wobbles.
The bass synth engine includes:
- Two independent Wavetable oscillators with the 64 available wavetables.
- One sub-oscillator
- One noise generator which can create 16 different noise types.
- Add even more flavor to your basslines with the built-in LFO, envelope generator, unison control, multi-mode filter, and distortion effects.
Your own wavetables can be imported!
A Library of Rhythm Sounds Specialized for Electronic Dance Music
The Liven Bass & Beats is loaded with 350 high-quality rhythm sounds carefully selected for modern and timeless compositions.
The library of drum sounds also include risers and tension releases SFX which are useful tools when transitioning to new sections of your compositions.
Hit the Ground Running With 64 Bass Patches That Cover All Genres
The LIVEN Bass & Beats includes 64 bass presets including battle tested favorites such as the Reese Bass, Future Bounce Bass, Wobble Bass, Growl Bass, Neuro Bass, Deep House Bass, Acid Bass, 808 Sub Bass, and more.
Use these presets to quickly dial in the vibe of a specific genre.
Ready-To-Go Preset Drum Kits
The drum sounds are organized into well balanced kits for specific genres such as:
DUBSTEP, HOUCE, HIPHOP, TRAP, TECHNO, EDM, R&B, DOWNTEMPO, CHILL TRANCE, DRUM'N'BASS, JUNGLE, FUTURE BASS, ELECTRO, ELECTRONICA, IDM, DISCO, BREAK BEATS, etc.
DUBSTEP, HOUSE, HIPHOP, TRAP, TECHNO, EDM, R&B, DOWNTEMPO, CHILL TRANCE, DRUM'N'BASS, JUNGLE, FUTURE BASS, ELECTRO, ELECTRONICA, IDM, DISCO, BREAK BEATS, etc.
You can also mix and match sounds from the drum library to create your own custom kits.
Side-Chain Compressor
The LIVEN Bass and Beats has built-in sidechain compression function that ducks the volume of the bass and the line-in audio. The amount of this effect is variable so you can dial it in to taste or turn it off when it is not needed.
Two Performance Knobs Can Be Mapped to Many Parameters at Once
Two ASSIGN knobs are provided for complex multi-parameter control.
Similar to the Turnado1 VST plugin, our “ASSIGN” knobs allow you to map many parameters to a single knob to create powerful effects which transform or mangle your sound with a single twist.
All preset patches include these “ASSIGN” knobs pre-programmed and ready for sonic exploration.
The “ASSIGN” knobs can also be parameter locked to create automated changes to multiple parameters over time.
Quick Muting and Un-Muting for Each Drum Sound
Each rhythm track consists of 16 individual drum sounds. Each sound can be individually muted and unmuted with a single button press. This allows users to introduce drum elements on-the-fly to build energy and create unique breakdowns.
Dedicated Mixer Controls
Dedicated controls for balancing the levels of you drums, bass, and line input.
These knobs can be used to create an overall volume balance, or they can be used to create drops and breakdowns during live performances.
Advanced Bass Shaping Tools
The DIMENSION knob increases the stereo width of the bass synth without losing clarity or richness.
The M.Gun effect uses a rapid tremolo to add glitchy grit.
Explore Beyond the Preset Sounds With the Bass Engine Edit Mode Overlay
Build your own bass sounds from scratch or modify the presets.
Every parameter of the bass engine is accessible when the edit mode active.
Slip on the overlay and enter a whole new world of bass sound design.
Synth Engine Basic Configuration
2x Wavetable OSC
Each of the wavetable oscillators can assigned one of the 64 wavetables.
SUB OSC
The sub-oscillator provides solid, foundational bass support.
It can generate sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, LOG, and random waveforms.
NOISE Generator
The noise generator can generate 16 different types of noise, including both white and pink noise. It is a powerful tool for aggressive and industrial tones.
Deep Modulation
Almost all of the internal parameters of this device can be targets for modulation. The LFO, Envelope Generator, and ASSIGN knobs provide a wide range of ways to modulate every aspect of your sound.
For example, the LFO could modulate the settings of the Envelope Generator which is simultaneously modulating the Bass engine’s wavetable position.
An LFO with detailed settings for Shape, Rate, Depth, Delay, BPM Sync, etc.
An envelope generator with configurable curves, which can be connected to LFO parameters as well as Wavetable synth parameters. An envelope pre-delay can also be added.
Two special ASSIGN knobs can be freely assigned to many parameters at once.
The Wavetable synth can be modulated according to the velocity settings recorded into the sequence or the velocity of an external MIDI device.
Other Features
The Unison function allows you to easily add depth and movement to your sounds by detuning and spreading the oscillators.
The rich resonant filter can be switched to high, low, and band pass modes.
A dedicated distortion effect can add extra harmonics to the bass engine.
The 64-Step Sequencer Is Easy to Use for
Live Performance,
Jam Sessions,
and bass and drum focused productions.
Sequence up to 64 steps per pattern.
Save up to 128 patterns.
The parameter locking function allows you to record knob changes into your patterns. This automation function can be recorded live, or programmed in step by step.
Sub-divide the tempo down to 32nd notes for higher resolution sequencing.
Sequence longer notes across several steps,
AKA Tied Notes.
Features for Live Performance
Sequencer Effects
Three sequencer effects you can use to turn your sequence into a performance.
RANDOM, which jumps steps randomly.
STUTTER, which plays only the step you are pressing.
DICE, which allows you to control the trigger probability of each step.
Chain Playback
Link together multiple patterns using the CHAIN function to create longer uninterrupted sequences.
3-way Note Input
Program notes step by step or record them in real time. Additionally, you can also input notes to specific steps while the sequencer is playing to add variation when you’re jamming or performing live.
Additional Features
SWEEP
A rare feature usually only available in vintage sound chips, The SWEEP function causes the pitch to rise or fall independently for each note with adjustable speed and smoothness. This can be used to create subtle pitch drifting or chirpy chiptune sounds.
Reverb
Reverb effects are included.
The amount of reverb can be independently controlled for drums, bass, and external inputs.
